Granny Square Blanket @ In the Wabe I started crocheting a few years ago with one goal in mind: to make a granny square blanket. Success! I started this baby in January and finally finished eight months later. I realize you can’t gauge its size by the photos, but the blanket is in total over 165 squares. It’s big and heavy, but the little holes keep it from overheating. I used Attic 24′s Summer Garden Granny Square pattern–I really like the circular centers.

Block type: log cabin Block size: 11 inches Colour scheme: reds and neutrals Texture/fabric manipulation: lattice smocking Quilt size: The finished quilt is 52 ½ x 52 ½.

Nana Square Tutorial... I am teaching my class this week the Nana Square... as I think it was a easy one to start beginners on... After drawing the diagram and writing out the instruction I thought I would share it all with you... You will need to click on the images and it will hopefully send you to flickr where you can go to all sizes and print off one that you will be able to read... I have never written and uploaded instructions like this before so I am unsure if it will all work... Cross fingers... and happy crocheting... p.s....I almost forgot...
Tutorial: Pearled Shirt Collar Recently I blogged about DIY ideas using pearls, and I was inspired to embellish a shirt collar with some pearl beads I had in my stash. I’ve seen several versions of this DIY, some with many additional elements, but I wanted to keep it pretty simple. I used two slightly different colors of pearl beads, plus some metallic silver beads, to create a pearl gradient. Images all found on Pinterest. Materials: Shirt to embellish Pearl beads Thread Needle Scissors Methods: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Amazing Topiary Tree Page 2 whenever you read this, we will either be on a plane or in a rental car or dodging potholes or already in THE BUSH. yes! we are going to the Kruger Park for our (hopefully) annual trip. you can read my post & see all the photos from last year here. i will only be gone a week, but i have lots of posts scheduled for while i’m away – so please do keep checking in. i have been waiting for a moment to share these exquisite aerial photos of the wildlife & landscapes in Botswana by Brooklyn based photographer Zack Seckler. i have looked at them time and time again, and actually have them rotating on my desktop as wallpaper right now. i love them SO much. not just because i absolutely love Africa – and feel so lucky to live here – but because they are obviously damn beautiful. i have never been to Botswana, even though it neighbours us. it is a trip i hope to make soon. Within the first few minutes of being up there, I was just completely blown away.
Crazy Ripple Blanket This free-style afghan is a great way to use up little bits of leftover yarn while making a stunning conversation piece. The diamond inserts transition the ripple pattern from a smaller ripple to a larger one and then back to a smaller one again. The diamond inserts can also be stacked to create a patchwork look. The example is made in light worsted weight mercerized cotton. Since this is a design-your-own style afghan, this pattern is presented as patterns for the individual sections and construction guidelines. Size: This blanket can be made any size. Materials: Worsted weight yarn (see chart for amount) Size H (5mm) crochet hook Abbreviations: ch = chain ch sp = chain space dc = double crochet hdc = half double crochet sl st = slip stitch The beginning chain should be a multiple of 44 plus 10. For these widths, start with this number of chains: 29.75″ = 142 39″ = 186 48.25″ = 230 57.5″ = 274 66.75″ = 318 Begin with Small Ripple A. Small Ripple B: Ch 3, turn. Big Ripple C: Ch 3, turn.
DIY Fashion: Paper Bag DIY No fashionista can be defined like that if she hasn't starved herself to save up the money to buy a bag (or at least to be written in a waiting list).Bags we love are made of the same material dreams are made of :have you ever a touched a dream?I have never got in touch with something so expensive.What is a material more down to earth present in our life we can relate with? Nessuna fashionista può definirsi tale se non ha risparmiato anche sul cibo per mettere da parte i soldi necessari per comprare una borsa (o almeno per essere iscritta in una lista d'attesa).Le borse che adoriamo sono fatte della stessa materia di cui sono fatti i sogni:avete mai toccato un sogno?Non mi è mai capitato di toccare qualcosa di così costoso.Quale materiale è più in contatto con la nostra realtà?

Tutorial | High waisted knit shorts Warning: heavy text post. My knit shorts have gotten a lot of attention on the internets and in real life, for that matter - and I have received so many requests regarding them I can't even wrap my head around it. Many of you asked me if I could make you a pair, others were ready to pay me a lot of money to knit a pair for them, some asked for a recipe and a couple of you guys wanted to know where I bought it: because you didn't believe I made them. I've never made a tutorial before, so please be gentle with me. I only use approximate measurements, mostly because if it doesn’t fit – I make it fit. Ingredients: Approximately 3 balls of yarn. The best tips I have is to use your own creativity to decide what you prefer. Good luck! *Remember to cast off somewhat loose in the end so that you don't have to redo it all when you don't get it over your bum, like I did. My knit shorts: Lovely friends who have tried it so far: Let me know if you've tried it, so that I can link back to you!
