Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

Hooked on Crochet Patterns from Favecrafts.com

Good Morning Crocheters,

Spring will be here before you know. I know I've been counting down the days. Crochet yourself an easy crochet poncho for the spring.

The Flower Granny Poncho is based off the granny square motif. The pattern is made using Bernat satin and it really makes you stand out. Crocheting this poncho will help improve your crochet skills and it'll look great with any outfit.

Easy Crochet Shamrock

Make a cute little shamrock for St. Patrick's day this year. You can then bring it out every year. It's an easy crochet pattern for the Irish.

Warm Stripes Afghan

Make this quick and easy crochet afghan pattern. It has two colored halves and fringe that you add at the end using a simple technique.

Happy Crocheting,

Editor of Hooked on Crochet

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
