The baby granny blanket | Crooked crochet
https://crookedcrochet.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/the-baby-granny-blanket
A crochet beginner's journal. The baby granny blanket. Asymp; 3 Comments. Well I’ve finally finished the granny square baby blanket I’ve been making. I suppose it’s quite traditional-looking. Doing the squares took me much longer than I expected due to the repetitive nature of the task. (I’m not good with repetition, much prefer making things up on the spot which is the reason I took up crochet in the first place! I used several shades of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino.

Carthage Must Be Destroyed: February 2014
http://carthage-must-be-destroyed.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Saturday, February 22, 2014. Feast of the Chair of Peter. Where is the successor of Caesar Augustus? Where is the successor of Marcus Aurelius? And finally, who cares? But if you want to see the successor of Peter, he is right next to me, smiling and waving at the crowds.'". Probably not. Everyone who finds out I am a Catholic chomps at the bit to ask me what I think of the new pope. What corporation can operate without one who makes the final call? What school has no principal?

Carthage Must Be Destroyed: August 2013
http://carthage-must-be-destroyed.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Thursday, August 15, 2013. I have been looking forward to the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary for a while. I’ve circled it on my calendar, dwelled on the mystery which it reveals and planned on fine drink for the feast. And what a feast it is! Proportions. And yes, the door was truly left unlocked. We are left to ask: “Why no relics? ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST. We are the supreme material creation in the universe. We have infinite souls that desire the ...

https://crookedcrochet.wordpress.com/a-crochet-beginners-journal
A crochet beginner's journal. A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can’t fold a paper in a crowded train. I like to crochet because it makes me feel capable. I can’t swim, can barely cook and don’t know how to put up a shelf, but knowing how to. Something I might need makes me feel a little bit powerful in this big wide world, even if it is just a small thing, like a purse or bookmark. When I shoul...

My first crochet pattern :D | Crooked crochet
https://crookedcrochet.wordpress.com/2010/01/09/my-first-pattern-d
A crochet beginner's journal. My first crochet pattern :D. Asymp; 10 Comments. I’ve written out the pattern for my Spur-Of-The-Moment Slouch Hat. Which I made back in December. To warn you – I wrote this out as I went along, so it is not a tested pattern. If you have any problems with it, let me know and I will do my best to help. I’ve never written out a pattern before so I hope I have made it clear, if not just comment me and let me know! Please do not sell this pattern. Decrease after every 5 stitches...

Fancy wristwarmers | Crooked crochet
https://crookedcrochet.wordpress.com/2009/12/22/fancy-wristwarmers
A crochet beginner's journal. Asymp; Leave a comment. I’ve also been busy with my hook making these “almost-mock-Victorian-style” wristwarmers, they’re done in just basic double crochet, with a picot edging on top and bottom to give them a lacy effect. I added some brass-coloured buttons, which I took from an old skirt I no longer wear, hence doing my bit for the environment! I think it’s called “Upcycling”! The buttons give a degree of flexibility to the wearer. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. The bab...

A crochet beginner's journal. Bring back the granny square… um, maybe not after all. Asymp; 6 Comments. Trawling the internet in search of inspiration yesterday I found this:. Cate Blanchett in a granny square dress. Yes, the lovely, stylish Cate is wearing a granny square dress. OK, I know I wrote a post a while ago espousing the wonders of the granny square. And how I really want it to come back into fashion, but umm… I really don’t think this is going to help my cause.😛. Asymp; 5 Comments. But I feel...

Spur-of-the-moment slouch hat | Crooked crochet
https://crookedcrochet.wordpress.com/2009/12/22/spur-of-the-moment-slouch-hat
A crochet beginner's journal. Asymp; 1 Comment. Haven’t posted in a lo-o-ong while, but heavy snowfall in London right now has got me picking up the hooks again. I made this hat last night on a whim and am planning on making a grey scarf to match. Not sure if this is ‘slouchy’ enough to strictly be called a “slouch hat” or if it is really just a “beanie”, (or a “slouch beanie”? But erm, not sure it matters! Larr; Previous post. Next post →. Thought on “Spur-of-the-moment slouch hat”. Such a cute hat!
