Crochet Along!

63
I'm so excited to join the 63 Squares Crochet Along at Crochetville (well, I havne't officially joined, as that page is down temporarily). Other people working on the same afghan I am, but they will all look so different (and many have already finished, with stunning results).

63 to Crochet

I've been working on the 63 Easy-to-Crochet Pattern Stitches sampler afghan as a secret present for my husband. I like making a squares afghan, because if he sees any one square, I can claim it's for an exchange, and he won't get suspicious (maybe; but then again, he's paid to be suspicious).

I've got a chart below of the square so I can update as I go. The italic squares are not yet done. I am using Wool Ease in a brick red, heather grey (main color), and hunter green. It's looking great! I'm using an I hook, so each square is bigger than the pattern calls for, the afghan will be bigger than the pattern calls for, but that's A-OK, because my husband is bigger than the pattern calls for (he's 6'4").

Mystic Pizza...Hotpad


My foray into cloth-strip crochet, this is a hot pad for our pizza stone. My family is big into homemade pizza, and this is just the right size for our stone. It get's a weekly workout, and just looking at it makes me want some cheesy pizza!

Good Grief!

Has it really been nearly 2 months since I have last blogged? Oh, how busy I have been!!!

First off... I took the plunge and I know am bi-fibrous. That is, I now knit, in addition to crocheting. My first project? The recently completed pair of Two-At-Once Toe-Up socks (from the KnitPicks site). I need to get some pictures; I am VERY proud of them! I used some lovely white/light blue/dark blue variegated cotton yarn from Holly Spring Homespun. I have to say, getting started with knitting both on two circulars was a bit challenging, but I was persistent! My sister-in-law has hinted none-to-subtly that she would like a pair just like it, and I think I have enough yarn left over to make a matching baby pair for my 17 month old.

Also, I have started designing a wedding set for my dear friend. I am crocheting a beaded garter, and doing a knit/crochet combo for some truly unique lingerie!

In addition, I am about 30 squares into the 63 Pattern Stitches to make an Heirloom Afghan (that's not the exact name, but most crocheters know which I'm talking about). I am using an I hook and Wool-Ease yarn in grey, burgandy and hunter green. Shh! It's a secret present for my husband!

I've also found some pictures that I hope to get posted soon of some other current projects.
