The holiday season is upon us and all I really want for Christmas is to finish my house! Of course that won't actually happen in time... You can see my updates in the last post in case you missed it. In the meantime, I'd like to remind you that there are a few simple holiday-themed projects already available here on the Crochet is the Way blog: First, there are these Simple| Crochet is the Way
Keeping up with friends isn't easy in my current situation. I want so badly to have a binge day of catching up on everyone's blogs and browsing new patterns! Until I can find the time to do that again, I've made a goal to try to post something here once a week to keep me motivated... Well, this past week sure has been "something", but not much crochet is getting finished. I| Crochet is the Way
Forget the Pink and White shoe thing... Let's play with yarn colors!| crochetistheway.blogspot.com
I made a hat with Bernat Blanket yarn. It was an experience.| crochetistheway.blogspot.com
Most of what remained of my yarn stash was lost after Hurricane Ian in 2022. This was not directly caused by storm damage, but the result of rats escaping the floodwater by moving into my shed. I can't blame a living creature for trying to survive, but I will never understand why they chose to chew through plastic storage totes and destroy my supplies instead of nesting in anything| Crochet is the Way
Hello friends! I'm here to ask for some help. But first... Are you interested in getting scammed out of a few bucks? No? But it only costs five dollars and some cents... plus maybe another five or so for shipping. You'll get something shiny and new... oops, VINTAGE... I meant to say you'll be getting something antique and vintage that's surely worth the total cost...| Crochet is the Way
Hello again, friends! It has been a very long time since my last post, so I wanted to stop by for a quick update. The previous technical problems I was having with the blog have been solved. Although it is working properly, I absolutely despise the new setup and I'll be making more changes. I have no control over the size of the "FEATURED POST" widget that slaps you in the| Crochet is the Way
Have you ever wanted to change something that works just fine the way that it is? I received some tips about making the blog more user-friendly and took the advice. Although I didn't like the new settings, it did seem to be more successful for a short time. Then I noticed my ad revenue drop from almost-nothing to completely-nothing, and now I know why... Blogger/Google had notified| Crochet is the Way
Working with Mainstays acrylic yarn resulted in a negative review before I was finished working on this pattern. (You can read that review here if you missed it.) I was aware it didn't perfectly match Red Heart Super Saver. I knew to not expect much from a Walmart brand acrylic yarn. What I didn't know was how the smallest difference in gauge would make this project much harder than it| Crochet is the Way
Well, I've been "forced" into creating a new crochet pattern (not really) and that would have been a fine and dandy situation if only I had the right color of PINK (yuck) in my stash... And since the pandemic seems to have reduced the stock of everything to almost nothing, I was forced to take my search for the color PINK (gross) to the Walmart yarn aisle (even grosser). And the only color| Crochet is the Way
After another lengthy absence from the blog, I have a ton of WIP photos to share with you. However, there's not much crocheting going on around here anymore! I can't say I'm not crocheting at all because I have had a few projects on the hook recently... But for the past year my main job title has gone from crocheter to construction worker. At least I can share with you the first| Crochet is the Way
There's a new pattern in my Ravelry store! I'm not here to beg you to buy it. I'm just here to help you save some money in case you do buy it. Keep reading for a super deal I found on the yarn... You just might get a discount on this pattern's purchase price, and more! 😉 The full price for The Irma Hat crochet pattern is only $1.50 (USD). Using bulky yarn and a large| Crochet is the Way
A sleepless night of crocheting led to a few finished projects. (5 hats!) I should have been spending the day working on writing a pattern and weaving in a few leftover loose ends, but a feeble attempt at sleep ended in a brain that's not fit for counting. I went outside to clear my mind in the mild fall air instead. Something caught my eye that made me go back in for the camera...| Crochet is the Way
As I continue to pick up the pieces of life after Irma, I'm also trying to organize my yarn stash into something that takes up less room at Dad's. Buried in the bottoms of bins and hidden from sight in bags, I'm starting to find some long-neglected projects... What we have here are the pieces of what was supposed to be a scarf... You can catch a glimpse of its potential in| Crochet is the Way
We thought we got lucky at first, but we found out we were wrong when we went back with some flashlights and more time to inspect the house... Those who follow the blog and have read my recent updates know I was one of many who lost their home to Hurricane Irma. This obviously makes it difficult to keep up with things like the GrannySpiration Challenge. It's been fun| Crochet is the Way
I thought it would be fun to re-work an old design of mine, the Mayflower Lace scarf, in a different yarn and hook size than originally used. I came across a tutorial I had forgotten about making when I pulled up the pattern... I immediately felt like deleting the post because it's so horrible, but I think I'll leave it up just in case you want to check out the old way I made| Crochet is the Way
