05 November 2021

books stacked, the covers are colorful and the top (or bottom) edge is all that's visible.

We know that I have a thing for stitch dictionaries. I'm especially fascinated by crochet pattern libraries because I didn't know they existed for the first decade or so I crocheted. The Step-by-Step Guide to 200 Crochet Stitches is the book I wish I had when I first started to figure out how to do … [Read more...] about Book Review: The Step-by-Step Guide to 200 Crochet Stitches

Book Review: Reversible Two-Color Knitting

10 September 2021

books stacked, the covers are colorful and the top (or bottom) edge is all that's visible.

I've long been fascinated by fabrics (and garments) that are reversible.

I love that this … [Read more...] about Book Review: Twisted Stitch Sourcebook

stitch dictionaries, new and old

March 2018 Stitch Dictionaries

When I'm stuck for ideas I pick up a stitch dictionary. I'm always on the look out for new ones. Sometimes new means they were published years ago and it's my first time exploring them. Those that have gathered dust are also given a second chance. Why? While many of the stitches are consistent … [Read more...] about stitch dictionaries, new and old

Aligned Cobble Stitch swatch from Fun & Fantastic Textured Crochet Stitches

While I was chatting with Beth Graham, she mentioned that I could take her Craftsy Class, Fun & Fantastic Textured Crochet Stitches. It's taken me a while to sit and attend the course; I struggle with video, preferring the written word.
