Mrs. Robinson's Place

Turquoise cross body purse with multiple pockets. Worked in SC yarn under. Pattern of 5 rows, turn, 3 rows. Pattern was repeated 3 times. Liner is joined to the body with SC. Strap was recycled from another purse.

By Ashe Gayle: Mega shoutout to Julie Robinson of Mrs. Robinson's Place for the gorgeous afghan! 💚

Just finished a moss stitch in the round afghan. The blanket measures 61.5 inches square, and is displayed on a queen sized bed.

Yarn used is Hobby Lobby's Sugarwheel in Minted Macaroon. Hook was a 3.5 mm size F.

Decided to give some pillows a new look.

There were a total of 4 large ones and 5 smaller ones.

Pattern for the large one is 49 rows of alternating 7 rows of Tunisian honey comb and 7 rows Tunisian simple stitch. Back 2 panels are each 35 rows in pattern. Pillow is seamed together like a pillow sham and then trimmed with 2 rows of SC. Starting chain was 74.

2 of the smaller pillows were made completely in honeycomb stitch. 2 in Tunisian simple stitch ( not shown), and the final one in waffle stitch.

The Afghan on the couch is loosely based on the "Sunny Daze" pattern by Laura Pavy.

"Flower Mandala" pattern by Sabrina Brensone. Free download at: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flower-mandala

Used the "Flower Mandala" pattern by Sanita Brensone to make a gorgeous wall hanging.

Worked with Red Heart worsted weight and a size F hook. Used a basting stitch to gather and secure it to a 19 inch metal hoop. So pretty.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed to this level of achievement.

Mikey of The Crochet Crowd has recently created several variations of the traditional corner to corner (c2c) stitch.

The "Connect 4 Corner to Corner" produces a lighter weight and lacy stitch. This stitch is perfect for warmer climates and creates a blanket that is perfect for chilly spring or summer nights.

The pattern and a video tutorial, can be found at this link: https://thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-connect-4-corner-to-corner-c2c-stitch/

I made the blanket with Red Heart worsted weight yarn and a size F hook. Used 42 ounces of Cherry Red, and 14 ounces of Royal. Border is multiple rows of alternating FPDC and BPDC.

Pattern is fun and works up quickly.

Used the pattern Crochet Watermelon Striped Hot Pads by Daisy Farm Crafts to make a potholder. Then extended the concept to add a pop of color on top of a dresser.

Just finished this scarf (prayer shawl). Pattern is 147 rows long, and is a repeat of 7 rows of Tunisian honeycomb, and 7 rows Tunisian simple stitch. The border is one round of moss stitch. Finished product measures 22 x 57.

UPDATE: Thank you for all the kind words and compliments. Happy crocheting everyone.

Saw this cute pattern made by Jonah's Hands, and had to give it a try.

"Woodsy Sunflower" pattern at: https://www.yarnspirations.com/lily-sugarn-cream-woodsy-sunflower-crochet-dishcloths/SCK0312-001869M.html?utm_source=Influencer_Jonah&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=2022_12_14__lily-sugarn-cream-woodsy-sunflower-crochet-dishcloths

By changing the number of colors, and the repeat, you can customize this pattern to make it to your preferences. Additionally, by increasing the number of center stitches to 72, you can make a 12 petal version that is slightly larger. Or, you can decrease the number of stitches in the center section, and make a smaller version that is more apporiate for a coaster. The possibilities are endless, and because the pattern is quick and easy, you can rapidly make several different colors and styles.

I am still trying to reduce the amount of leftover yarn that I have. In that spirit, I made two cabled hats. I love the detail that the cabling adds, and the hats are so warm.

Hannah of Daisy Farm Crafts has created another cute potholder to add to your collection.

I made 3 of them. Pattern makes a nice size potholder and works up quickly. Because mine are for decorative purposes only, I used I Love This Yarn in the color Glacier, and Red Heart "Real Teal". Used a size G hook. Finished size is about 9.5 inches.

Had two balls of bulky yarn that had been in my yarn collection for quite some time. Finally made them into hats. Freestyled 4 different patterns. Because of the yarn, these hats are extremely thick and warm.

Just completed this waffle stitch baby afghan. Used the pattern by Jade Taylor of Black Holes and Unicorns Handmade and Crochet . https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/c2c-waffle-stitch

Constructed using a size H hook. Used three 10 ounce skeins of Red Heart " Spearmint". Could not find a 4th skein, so the border is only one round of SC, and one round of DC.

Some Valentine's colored pot holders for my kitchen. Made in the Element's Square pattern.

The first project of the year was a multicolored afghan worked in the honey comb stitch. There was no set pattern, it was just an attempt to reduce my evergrowing yarn stash.

Afghan is pictured on a full size bed.

I always love it when I get gifted yarn. It is interesting to see the colors and textures that others like, and it frequently challenges me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.

This year, Jayme Nic Crawford and Donnie and family, got me yarn. Winner. Winner.

The first box contained 12 skeins of Hobby Lobby's Hue IQ yarn in various colors. This yielded 2 hats, earwarmers, a thick and heavy winter scarf, and a round scarf for my end table.

The 2nd box contained 6 skeins of a bulky denim like blue. I combined it with the 6 additionally skeins that I already had, and the result was a small but thick lap sized blanket. I trimmed this afghan with some white that I already had.

Overall, several beautiful items and a chance to experiment with some beautifully colored yarns.

Each year in the fall, I craft a few crocheted pumpkins. As a result, the "pumpkin patch" has gotten quite large.

The lastest ones are much larger, and feature cinnamon sticks for the stem. They are pretty and smell good.

A large selection of hats and headbands. Each pattern can be constructed in a variety of sizes from baby to adult. Something warm and comfortable for every style and taste.

Donnie and Jayme got the 9th Sunny Dazes afghan as a Christmas gift. Hope they enjoy it for many years to come.

Pluto is checking the lastest afghan for warmth and comfort.

The 9th Sunny Dazes afghan.

These afghans are loosely based on the "Sunny Daze" pattern by Laura Pavy.

The various blankets showcase a variety of colors and styles, and demostrate several different finishing techniques.

The Moss Stitch produces a flat and dense material. This stitch can be worked horizontally, in the round, or on the diagonal. The resulting blanket has a woven look.

Although this stitch is a combination of sc and chains, when worked in a square format, it seems to work up quickly.

This twist on the traditional Granny Square provides visual interest, and can be worked in a variety of complimenting or contrasting colors.

The Waffle Stitch produces a blanket with squares that resemble the indentations on a Belgian Waffle. Afghans made in this stitch are extremely thick and squishy.

An excellent design choice when you want a throw that will keep you toasty warm on a cold night.

Love the texture of this stitch.

Afghans made in the "12 Point Star" pattern. Most of these blankets measure about 69 inches across and are displayed on a queen size bed.

This album features afghans made in the "Continuous Granny Square" or "Diagonal Granny Square" pattern.
