This month’s Darn Good Yarn Kit was for a Spiral Hat that you could either crochet or knit. It took me a while to figure that out because I am no longer allowed to open my own yarn box. Mermaid has to open it for me to see if there is something in it for her. A few months ago the free present was a … Continue reading DGY KIT November 2017 – Spiral Hat
Ok I have some bad news people. I can’t help you turn this square into a solid color. The whole design of the square is in the color changes to make the heart. You could make it easily in a solid color and have a solid square with a rim of decorative stitches right near the edge. The square is called Pixel Heart by Whistle … Continue reading Moogly CAL 2017 – Square 19
I am on a roll! I just finished Square 18. It is called the Botanical Garden Square by Sonya at Black Stone Designs. In an effort to stay on target I haven’t poked around through all of her sites and media but what I did look at on her site is awesome. You need to go just for the little elf treat bags! Link To … Continue reading Botanical Garden Crochet Square
This block was so much fun because I have been obsessed with popcorn stitches lately. I just love them. The block is called The Layered Dahlia by PersiaLou.com. I am trying to stay on track with my Crafty To-Do List (especially now that I am making more of these squares) so I have not gone through all of her patterns and things on her site. … Continue reading The Layered Dahlia Crochet Square
I am not going to lie this is the square that broke me. I loved the middle, the way the design pops around in there is awesome. But when it came to adding the leaves I discovered that part was not as easy. Not only that but that the square was going to be huge compared to the rest of the blocks I have kept … Continue reading Moogly CAL 2017 – Square 16
I am so stinking excited! I have been designing things for myself for a long time but I have never actually written out a pattern and published it! This is my very first one so be kind! I have been making these little mats for a while and love them. I designed them because I wanted a way for Mermaid to have a snack without … Continue reading Snack Mat Pattern
*Contains an affiliate links. This month I am pretty proud of myself. I have had the kit for about a week and now I have it done! Granted the pattern was a pretty simple one but I still get crafty points for finishing my project. The yarn this month is the original Premium Sari Silk Handspun Yarn. Darn Good Yarn works with co-ops in India … Continue reading Darn Good Yarn Club – September’s Kit
This square was designed by Maria at PatternParadise.com. I love her site. She has alot of free crochet patterns that you can try. From her collection I am going to make a bunch of Festive Napkin Rings to give this holiday season as Hostess Gifts. I love how she wrote this pattern. She gives you tips as you go and to make it clearer she puts … Continue reading Autumn Sun – Crochet Square
This square is from Jennifer at acrochetedsimplicity.com. Her site is all about crochet and I love it. There are free crochet patterns and some tutorials that I am going to watch later. I went through her free ones and I am adding her Retro Christmas Tree Towel to my One Day list. I love it and it would look awesome hanging on my stove next … Continue reading Cabled Bloom – Crochet Square
This square is designed by TheLavenderChair.com. This is another new designer to me. Personally I think one of the best things about the Moogly CAL is that I get to find new yarnies to follow and interact with. I love that her whole story started with receiving a little lavender chair at her baby shower, and how she stacked all the things she was making … Continue reading Ombre Flower Garden – Crochet Square
