This journal is a mishmash of personal craft projects, quasi-professional designs, and general crafting information. I am gradually migrating stuff off of Ravelry as time and energy permit.
With the exception of this post, entries are shown in chronological order. If you're trying to find particular item, tags are the best way to go. Entries are tagged by craft, by progress status, and by content.
I have designs available, both complete and chart-only. Charted designs generally don't specify craft, as they can be used for anything -- stranded knitting, double knitting, tapestry crochet, cross-stitch, Tunisian colorwork, etc.
Most of my designs are available for free, but if you like what I do, you can buy me a coffee on ko-fi or join my Patreon family. I also have a Payhip store.

PATTERN: Seamless Solid Granny Square
May. 7th, 2021 05:05 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Create a solid granny square with no holes and no visible seam! Can be used with any weight yarn, and a suitable hook size.
The silver square used about 1oz / 61 yards aran weight yarn with an H/5mm hook, to create a 9x9” square. Any yarn will work.
Pattern includes both written instructions (US terminology) and a chart of the first three rounds, and is suitable for beginning crocheters.

This pattern is based on the popular Grandmother’s Favorite Dishcloth pattern (designer unknown), but adapted to be rectangular instead of square.
You can use any yarn (100% cotton worsted weight is the standard for Grandmother’s Favorite Dishcloth, but anything will work) and make the finished object any desired dimension. Amount of yarn used will depend on size made.

I created this journal in 2010 to be my knitting journal, but honestly it was easier to update Ravelry, so I never quite got around to doing anything here.
Then 2020 happened. And continued into 2021.
I posted a twitter thread about my Ravelry journey, but the summary is that Ravelry's new look ("NuRav") gives me literal headaches and the owners attacked anyone complaining.
So. Hello again, knitting journal!
Some posts here will be about my projects; some about designs I'm toying with; some about general knitting or crochet knowledge. I'm not going to pretend there's any actual overarching structure, but I'll try to use tags.
