Endless Stitches by Sarah

Time to get scrappy Last week, I finished my first blanket donation project of the year. It is somewhere between a lap blanket and a small child blanket, and it has 22 different colors! I shared the in progress photo several weeks ago with the C2C moss stitch section, but here is the completed blanket. The blanket was inspired by the sections I made using the C2C moss stitch and my order of 44 little skeins of the DIYarn from Lionbrand. I knew I wanted to make a blanket with half of them, but didn't know how big of one I could make. That is why I chose the corner to corner option, fully expecting to only get a baby blanket out of it. The two sections from this week are made from almost all of my scraps from the blanket project. The stitch pattern is simple (half double crochet is all you need) but I wanted to share with you some tips on using up every last bit of scraps. Make sure you have checked out the original section-a-long post , if you haven't already for ...

We have been together for almost 4 years, and I am so happy to finally be starting this next chapter in our love story. Make sure you have checked out the original section-a-long post , if you haven't already for the list of supplies you will need, and if you missed any of them, the other patterns are all linked at the bottom of that post! Learning new things (and a return to an old favorite) While home, I decided to give the Lemon Block pattern from Twinkie Chan a try. I haven't done much crochet colorwork, but I was excited to learn a new technique. Luckily I had the perfect scrap ya...

Stay Safe These are crazy times for sure. Making has been keeping my hands and mind busy through all of this, and I am so grateful to have the distraction that I know will also help people some day. Anyway, this week will be a short blog post. Silly me forgot to even take the close up photo of the stitch this week and both sections are already happily in Dallas. How about I throw in a cute cat picture instead? Shadow hanging out with my crocheted Christmas tree skirt last winter Make sure you have checked out the original section-a-long post , if you haven't already for the list of supplies you will need, and if you missed any of them, the other patterns are all linked at the bottom of that post! My resource book I decided to browse my one stitch dictionary book that I own to find a new stitch for this week's section. I don't use the book often, but it is handy sometimes. It has an entire section devoted to lacy stitches, and while I am sure those are ...
