created with leftover yarn, yardage estimate is an overshot just in case!

I needed a smaller star. Here are some of the variations I came up with on the way to tiny.

Writing this pattern was inspired by a friend asking for help making herself a crocheted market bag. I browsed patterns to recommend and in a typical moment for me found I was having a hard time paying attention to reading and decided to just try making one myself. This pattern is a written account of my third attempt doing that. I was pleased ...

With the intent of being super warm I went for BULKY yarn using 3 worsted weights together with a size P hook (crochet rather than knitting to create a thicker fabric) for this top-to-bottom beanie. This is quick work, I clock one hat in about 30 minutes.

In December 2016, still reeling from the WTF of November, we got the word to get knitting. We were on a mission to create a sea of pink. In our house, that meant going through all the pink yarn we already had. After using the worsted weight we (my mother and I) could find, we switched to finish off the bulky.
