Resolutions | Cobo's Closet

http://coboscloset.blogspot.com/2014/01/resolutions.html

I've never been one for New Year's Resolutions. Mostly I think if you were going to do it, you would have already. But I can't deny that the start of the new year does still raise up in me a desire to do better, start again, and give myself a clean slate. I filled close to 190 orders this year, up from 81 filled in 2012. Pretty cool, right? My sister-in-law did a very cool thing on her blog, where she listed 30 things she'd like to accomplish this year that she turns 30. I like that better than a lis...

Blanket Fever | Cobo's Closet

http://coboscloset.blogspot.com/2013/10/blanket-fever.html

I've been on a blanket-making binge lately. Maybe it's just because the nights are starting to get colder and colder around here. Which just bums me out. But alas, crochet items do come much more in handy around this time of year. I'm already thinking up wrist warmers and possibly a car wheel cover for those cold mornings when you can barely hold the wheel. I started again, still with a granny square-like design, but without the traditional 'granny' holes:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Div align="...

http://coboscloset.blogspot.com/2013/04/week-2-crochet-progress.html

Week 2: Crochet Progress. Alright, so, not so much on the great crochet progress to show you this week. It was the week following Easter, and as I work at a church, it's a pretty crazy time for me and the week totally flew by. I also got an order in from the UK (my first international order, woo! So I spent some time working those up. Aren't they cute? It's a matching set for bro/sis chihuahuas who have been invited to a wedding in June. Too funny! And that's all that I have to show you this week! Week 1...

Week 1: Crochet Progress | Cobo's Closet

http://coboscloset.blogspot.com/2013/04/week-1-crochet-progress.html

Week 1: Crochet Progress. Labels: 30 day challenge. Well, it's been almost a week now since I've challenged myself to crochet every day. And I've been able to keep that challenge up so far! I now have 3 finished dresses and a half-finished tuxedo! Here's what I worked on this week:. Can you tell I've got lots of yarn in these colors? I think this summer fun dress was my favorite for the week, I love the way the yarn looks and the little belts make such cute accents :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I can't remember which I learned first: knitting or crochet. I've always known the basics of both, but once I learned how to crochet in the round, that interest exploded. Hats, clothes, dog sweaters. I felt like I could make anything I wanted. And my knitting skills stalled at that, "Uh, I can make a scarf." stage. Besides, for crochet, you just find a hook you like and go nuts. It's a different story with knitting. Want to try cables? Go buy a cable needle. Want to make a hat? Pretty awesome, right?
