I've always wondered how to do this . . .

Maya at Little Treasures has posted an excellent tutorial on how to crochet the basics for a trim on an actual garment, bed sheets, curtains or blankets.

She's posted another (more basic, but why didn't I think of it?) tutorial on how to attach an already made trim onto a shirt (or anything else, really).

Soooo helpful.

I'm completely smitten with these

I'd love to say that I'll be making some of these soon, but alas, thread crochet is not my talent.  However, Margaret sells similar stones (and quality prints of similar stones) in her Etsy shop.  Beautiful.

housework was never so fun

As long as I'm in dishcloth mode, here are some patterns that I'd like to try sometime:

Sound fun?  

I think so!

What have I been working on lately?

Why, I'm so glad you asked!




The Deets
Yarn used:  Peaches and Creme by Pisgah, and Sugar & Creme by Lily
Patterns used:  Various.  Generally found on the back of the yarn label, but some found through various e-mails, etc.
Television programs watched while completing these once my little girl is safely in bed and my husband is wrapped up in a project on the computer:  Murder She Wrote, Quantum Leap, White Collar, Master Chef, and In Plain Sight.

Next up, it's all slippers all the time.  Wa-hoo!
