Hi there!! I'm sorry for going MIA for a bit. Real life intervened a bit and I've not had time to update the blog. Things are still kind of crazy but hopefully I can be *a little* more active now. I'm actually trying to decide if I am going to keep up with this adventure.… Continue reading Update
Washcloth #24 Blossom Stitch Washcloth
This washcloth is the last washcloth of this series, (although there are three extra in the e-book which you can find here.) I have to be honest. I don't love this washcloth. But only because I do not like the yarn. Brutally honest: It's awful. It's heavy and very rough. You can use any weight… Continue reading Washcloth #24 Blossom Stitch Washcloth
Washcloth #23 Rope Stitch Washcloth
This washcloth has a beautiful, lacy texture. Double crochet stitches and chain stitches create little "V"s. Individually, the stitch is called a V stitch but put together it is referred to as the Rope Stitch. You can see my tutorial for the V stitch here. This is a washcloth that would be great for light… Continue reading Washcloth #23 Rope Stitch Washcloth

The Auri Throw
I love this blanket! I've used mine so much. It's great for when you don't need a ton of weight or warmth. Just heavy enough to actually keep you warm but not too heavy to be easily moved around so you can stay warm wherever you are! You can cover your lap while cuddled up… Continue reading The Auri Throw
HY&C Stitch #6
November's stitch is the blanket stitch. I love this stitch because it makes a solid, textured fabric which you can see below. This solidity is what makes it perfect for blankets. It uses a simple combination of basic stitches, so it's great for newbies as well as oldies who need a quick, simple pattern. The… Continue reading HY&C Stitch #6
HY&C Stitch #5
I forgot to post September's stitch so I posted that last week. This is October's stitch and it is one of my favorite stitches. It can be used to create so many different looks just by changing how often you change color. It's called by many names: linen, woven, moss, and granite. And probably a… Continue reading HY&C Stitch #5
HY&C Stitch #4
I totally forgot to post this! I'll post the 5th stitch next week and then November's stitch the week after that. Our fourth stitch is the Filet Mesh Stitch. This stitch is great for adding open sections to your projects. It's sturdier than most "lacy" stitches and is quite distinctive. It's great for light throws,… Continue reading HY&C Stitch #4

Washcloth #20 Large Shells
This washcloth is another fan stitch, which means multiple stitches, in this case treble crochets, are worked into the same space or stitch and then anchored by a single crochets. This stitch creates a fairly solid fabric with the shells creating a wavy look. This is a washcloth that would be great for everyday use.… Continue reading Washcloth #20 Large Shells
