Crochet. We're into week two of May and I'm still sticking with this little project.
I've been wondering what makes this daily project different than others I've attempted in the past and all I can come up with is "crochet is portable". I can throw it in a bag and bring it to swimming, church, soccer, the doctor's, and on car trips. I bring it outside while the kids are playing, and I throw on another round while I wait for water to boil on the stove. I don't like to be idle for long, and crochet is the perfect thing to while away the minutes. And these blocks whip up really quickly and look beautiful. So here's day 9: There are quite a few of Melinda's blocks being used for this CAL (crochet-a-long) and I love them all! Here's a peek at my progress as of last Thursday.

Notes: Chain 27 to begin. Chain one to turn - this counts as your first DC (US sc). Carry the colour not being used through the back of the mat. The pattern is slightly different to the finished mat - I thought the pattern needed a bit more bone on the bottom left side, and I also made the pattern square (not sure why I didn't think of that when I was making it!) To finish: Do a row of double crochet (US single crochet) in your chosen bone colour to finish it off. Carina's Craftblog: Crochet magic ring tutorial. Mmm... happy colours!
Ok, so there's a granny triangle tutorial in the works, but first I'm going to show you how to make a magic ring. This is a very handy thing to know how to make. Not just for granny triangles!

Ok, grab your yarn and we'll do this! 1: wind yarn around your fingers like you are going to make a slip knot. 4: yarn over and pull through 5: with the loop still on the hook, insert the hook in the ring itself, yarn over, then pull through the ring 6: you should now have two loops on your hook 7: pull the latest loop through the other one, so you only have one loop on the hook 8: now chain 3, this will count as the first dc If you are working on a project that has sc or tdc in the first round, adjust the length of your chain accordingly.
