i have a beautiful crochet quilt my mom's best friend made me while she battled terminal cancer. it is something i will always cherish. this last month, i noticed a small hole in it. i need to patch it up. i use it all the time. i know it should probably be in a chest or on a wall, but when i curl up with it, i know it's being used the way she would have wanted.

I started a new Tunisian scarf. The colors will be variegated and I will show it as I get further along.

After tearing out the practice piece several times I came up with this. It is far from perfect but I've come along way with half double crochet. Jennifer wants a beret that calls for HDC so that is why I must learn this stitch.


Edges are still rough.

Your stitches look good, even tension is what you want. The beret will be worked in
The round (most likely, right? You don't have to worry about edges when you are working in the round!

That's some hardcore shit right there. Is it doublesided? Because there's something fucking wrong with me inasmuch as I can't figure out how to move my yarn between stitches and just knit everything I want patterned.

I have gotten so much better with my tension. I am quite proud of myself.

My Omi taught me to wind the yarn through my fngers to regulate tension.
Unfortunately I can't seem to load pix with my phone so I'll put one up when I get back to my computer.

When I wind the yarn all through my fingers, it makes my tension too tight.

I hold it over my index finger and down through my hand. I know it's different but it works for me.

Bloody brilliant. My grandmother used to do weird things with crocheting (aside from very normal things (shawls, baby blankets, etc). She crocheted around a light bulb which was then used as a christmas tree decoration for well over 60 years. No idea how she did it.

Seeing your work reminds me of other of her works she's done.

Shit like that is 90% of what i make. Little aragami shit. I don't really know how to make real things.

I learned how to make one of those scarves. Love the color and it's so fun.

I just started this pot holder so it's still rather small.
