Wicked Wednesday

by Jessica on 6 July 2011

Just a splash of the awesomeness I’ve been hooking. I have three pics of my laptop cozy, one as a work in progress, and the other two with the finished look. The gray bit is a geekery moment in the game world. Will tell you more about it as I get closer to completion. Right [...]

I am in a crafting frenzy. My hands have been kind to me for the past few weeks, so I’ve enjoyed making some beautiful things. Here’s what I’ve been working on. I’m working on a readable craft pattern. Have some tweaks to do on it, but Jerry absolutely LOVED IT! It’s a sackboy/sackperson from the [...]

I admit it, I’m a deviant. Melissa from Hooked on Handmade had all these gorgeous squares for the month of May. They were breathtaking! I, however, kept coming across problems. The intricate stitches of more than a few of them were a bit too challenging for my fingers. Crochet is therapy for me, after all. [...]

Day 11′s block is the Flowery Square. You can access the pattern HERE via Ravelry (if you’re not a member, you should be!!!). I’m late posting most of these, but I’m scrambling to get my office finished! I will back post all the other squares as soon as I get the pics uploaded and ready [...]

Welcome to Day 10 of Granny square madness. I am back dating my squares so please forgive as I work backwards. I had technical difficulties (office move). Please forgive the terrible photo. I’ll get a better picture when the sunlight isn’t quite so harsh. The Framed Flower pattern is available for free HERE. Hooked on [...]

Making Squares!

May 8, 2011

  So I’m making granny squares this month! I found out about it through flikr. I’m thinking I should set up an account there because I love looking at the images so much. LOL. Anyway, click on the box to go to the Square a Day in May rules. They have 30 squares to complete [...]

I’ve been dying for an excuse to make doll dresses like the ones my grandmother made for me when I was a child. I was visiting with my family recently and realized my 8 year-old cousin didn’t have very many Fashion Doll clothes. Due to a natural disaster they had lost a great deal of [...]

Square a Day in May: Bloomin’ Granny

This was a cute one. I really liked switching over to brighter yarn for this. The pretty green was just wearing on my eyesight, and the wool was starting to rub my fingers a bit raw (have a minor allergy). This one didn’t take me very long, and I definitely recommend it for a fun [...]

Square a Day in May: Maggie’s Square

This next challenge was a nice break from the first two. Unfortunately, it ended up very boring in one color (even in variegated yarn). I will eventually try it again with more color options (so it’ll keep my interest). I see a nice country Red, White, and Blue for the 4th perhaps. Maggie’s Square is [...]
