Winter solstice is coming up in my hemisphere, so naturally, I am making some embroidered sun decorations. *shrugs* Hopefully, these will be done by next week, so stay tuned for the sunshine! In other news, I have spent today cutting out a new pant pattern, which has 26 pattern pieces (!). I am not using…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I have another shirt I’ve been working on for a few weeks now, and it’s nearly finished as I type this. Just needs a hem, and then I need to order buttons! I, like many people who like stories, have been obsessed with Project Hail Mary for the past month or thereabouts – so much…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Lewt the Mouseling Adventurer
One of the Dungeons and Dragons podcasts I listen to is called Girls Who Don’t DND; I may have mentioned it on here before. They had a fundraiser about a year ago for a plushie of one of the characters from their first campaign, Lewt, who is played by the Game Master’s son. [link to…… Continue reading Lewt the Mouseling Adventurer
New Colour Combinations
That blanket of Tiffany’s I mentioned last post is complete! I ended up making the border purple because that was the colour I had the most left of. I think I like it – the copper is quite striking against the pink and purple. Most importantly, Tiff loves it. I did also make it a…… Continue reading New Colour Combinations

First things first, happy Calendar Change of Season! I have been eagerly awaiting cooler weather for months, and this is a corner turned. It’s downhill from here (for the mercury)! Long-time readers may remember this crocheted cardigan I made for Tiffany, many moons ago. The sleeves were too tight on her, so I took it…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Blanket the Second
Guess what I finished last week? Ta-daaa! My second crocheted blanket, definitely ready for use when it gets cold. The pattern I used is from Simply Crochet #146, and is the “Sleeping Beauty” blanket by Marianne Rawlins. The example blanket only uses 36 squares, but I ended up making 108. I used cotton yarn, like…… Continue reading Blanket the Second

I completed all the squares for my peach/purple/grey blanket recently, so it is three-quarters complete! I have begun the process of crocheting all the squares together, which is not taking as long as I thought. I am working on it daily, which is probably why it’s coming together quickly. The plan is to make three…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Crochet Baby Comforter
Remember when I was talking about gifts that needed to be kept secret a couple of weeks ago? Well, this gift has been received, so I can post about my first handmade baby toy! He’s a baby comforter, so his head and arms are sewn to the centre of a small blanket. (Which would be…… Continue reading Crochet Baby Comforter

Can you believe it’s December tomorrow? I sure can’t. Christmas decorations have gone up, but it feels almost too soon, in a way. I do have plans to make a couple more decorations this month in-between making gifts, so hopefully that will make me feel more festive. In the meantime, I am well into the…… Continue reading Project Roundup

My second crochet blanket is coming along nicely. I am over halfway through the squares now, and I’ve been thinking about how I’ll join them all together. I might connect the rows into strips first, then assemble them into three blocks (rows 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12), then stitch the blocks together. That shouldn’t be too…… Continue reading Project Roundup
