Following my post and pattern for the Grannie Heart Bunting, I thought the hearts would make an excellent starting subject for my first tutorial. So, here we go. My Grannie Heart Tutorial... ★★☆ - Improver A few notes before we begin: Yarn: I used Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and a 3.5mm (E) hook, but you can use whatever yarn you like, just use the recommended hook size for your yarn. Terms: I've used British crochet terms throughout, so I must apologise in advance to anyone who is used to using the American terms. To clarify, the British terms that I have used are below in black and the American terms are given in green in brackets: British (American) Slip Stitch (Slip Stitch) Chain (Chain) Double (Single) Treble (Double) Double Treble (Treble) WRITTEN PATTERN - If you'd like the written directions only, please visit the Cherry Heart Boutique and download the Granny Heart Bunting pattern, which contains the heart instructions.

Foundation ring: 1. 2. 3. 4. Round 1: 5. 6. 7. Round 2: 8. 9. 10. The Woodstock Blanket. I’ve never had to think so much before. As you know, my usual way is to toss a bunch of yarn into a pile, grab whichever one rolls the closest to where I’m sitting, and just start. You know, whatever happens, happens. This time, I made some rules for myself, and it ended up being kind of a headache. It really happened because of this. I more or less abandoned my plan somewhere between the green and the purple and went back to my usual method of just using the next color that looks good, though I did try to maintain the general move from cool to warm. I couldn’t believe how hard it was to move from one color combination to the next. The stitch pattern I used is a version of the Catherine Wheel, called Harlequin, so named (I guess) because an extra ch1 at the top of the clusters makes them square instead of round.

I love that depending upon how I fold it, it looks like a different blanket! What, you feel like a little pink today? Edited: Neicee found the Greenway pattern free on Ravelry! Fanciful Flower Potholders. Introduction: These Fanciful Flower Potholders are made of 100 percent dk weight cottons in bright and bold colors. Cotton is the preferred yarn for potholders because acrylic yarns can melt when handling hot pans or dishes.

What to Expect: Your first Fanciful Flower potholder may take a little longer but after that, you can probably crochet one in under two hours. The finished potholder will measure about 7—7.5 inches across. Delights-Gem's Difficulty Rating: Easy Background: While leading my first CAL (crochet a-long) using a different potholder pattern I learned that, while I prefer finer and medium density cottons, most of the participants preferred denser cottons such as Lily's Sugar 'n Cream, Pisgah's Peaches 'n Creme, and Lion Brand Lion Cotton to make their crocheted potholders. Objective: The purpose of this blog page is to lead crocheters through the creation of one (or more) of these Fanciful Flower Potholders.

Creating Memories that Endure , Gluten-Free Pasta: Mission ImPASTAble – noodle nightmares, never more. When I cooked store-bought gluten-free pasta for the first time, it was an unfortunate situation. I boiled the water, tossed in the spaghetti, briefly stirred it, then walked away. When I returned to drain it, I had missed the timer by a minute or so, and my brown rice noodles had turned into a mass of pasta pudding. If you’re eating gluten free, you’ve probably had it before: the sticky, pasty mess that’s the result of many cooked brown rice pastas out on the market. The mush in the pot. The best thing about making homemade pasta is that it’s easy, but you quickly become a hero at home because you made it yourself.

Pasta, like bread, contains a few simple ingredients, so there are few excuses not to make your own. Save your pasta machine for the kids’ play-dough or pressing wildflowers, because you’ll have to hand-roll this recipe. Get your favorite rolling pin ready, and learn to love the labor of homemade pasta. Eggs: yolks only. Plus one more whole egg (yolk and white). Gluten Free - Baking ideas - Baking Mad. Jamie Oliver.
