Ever read the phrase, "Block to finished measurements" and shuddered? Maybe even scoffed? If that's you, worry no more. Trust me--I was exactly like you. I read that blocking phrase and I shuddered. On the one hand, I didn't have any idea how to go about blocking. On the other hand, I didn't want to learn.

When I refer to the third loop and you are using a single crochet stitch (U.S. Crochet Terms!) I am asking you to work into this loop.

Ja hoor, hier is hij dan, het eerste patroontje uit mijn walvissen-serie! Het is geen moeilijk project, maar bereid je wel voor op wat telwerk, een stitch maker is zeker aan te raden. Het is gehaakt met creative cotton, ik ben overigens net begonnen met dit garen en ben helemaal fan! Het haakt erg fijn, is zeer zacht en niet pillig, bovendien is het heel kleurecht en vervaagd dus niet! Daarbij is het zeer betaalbaar. Wil je ook creative cotton bestellen kijk dan even op www.liques-handmade.nl. Veel plezier met het patroontje en ik ben benieuwd of er binnenkort meer walvisjes zwemmen in blogland! Patroon Walvis Matroos And here it is, the first pattern in my whale-series! (Which is the theme of our new baby-room) It's not a difficult project but you should be prepared for some of counting, I recommend a stitch marker! I've used creative cotton, I’ve just started using this yarn and must say I’m an instant fan! It's very soft and easy to crochet with, plus it stays pretty! Oh and it's very affordable too. Have fun with the pattern and I’m curious to find out if more whales will be swimming around the internet soon! Pattern Whale Sailor

What is so great about Sophie? I’m not quite sure where to start! In no particular order, here’s why we like it so, so much!

We’ve all been there: raring to go after seeing a super-cute free pattern, we pick up the prettiest crochet yarn and get to work. Soon though, it’s clear that the pretty yarn was too chunky for the, say, delicate baby socks we wanted to make. Lesson learned. When choosing a crochet yarn for your next project, look beyond the color and take a close look at the weight symbol. Ranging from 0 to 6, where 0 is the finest (thinnest) size and 6 is the thickest, these standardized symbols are recommended on all packaging by the Craft Yarn Council. If you’re a beginner, a chunkier yarn (around a 4) will be easier to work with than a delicate choice (like a 0). Next, you’ll want to take a look at the material. Even if a yarn has the same weight, it’ll differ in workability if made from 100% cotton than one made from acrylic, for example. Here’s a handy little primer to guide you through the most common choices. Synthetics Acrylic This is one of the most common materials for crochet yarns, because it tends to be amongst the most affordable options. Acrylic yarns are very elastic, which is great for keeping the shape of the finished crochet project, but the stretchiness can lead to uneven stitches. (Hint: A blend of acrylic and a natural fiber will sidestep the stretchiness factor.) Nylon Sturdy with a lovely sheen, nylon threads are great for heavy-duty items like totes. However, it can be incredibly challenging to work with because nylon tends to fray very easily. Save it for when you’re a little more confident with your crochet hooks. Rayon Yarn made from this fiber is silky (especially if you steam the finished project afterwards) but very slippery. You’ll see rayon yarn more in the finer end of the weight spectrum, so it’s more suitable for those who are more experienced with crochet. Natural (Originating from Plants) Cotton This popular thread material takes color fabulously well and is the easiest to care for but has little elasticity, which means that finished projects may lose shape. (Think of how cotton clothing can shrink when washed or bag when worn.) When crocheted together, the cotton threads will have gaps in between each stitch, making it better for light and airy projects geared towards the spring and summer. Bamboo Yarn spun from this fiber is ultra-soft, but will need to be hand washed later. It can be a little on the slippery slide, but bamboo yarn is otherwise very easy to crochet. Hemp Still considered a specialty fiber, hemp is easier to find online than in most craft stores. The yarn has a bit of “tooth” to it (especially if unpolished) which can be hard on your hands as you crochet. Finished projects, however, are sturdy and resemble linen. Natural (Originating from Animals) Wool Ideal for beginners or anyone prone to making mistakes (*raises hand*), this resilient fiber can be unraveled easily without losing its shape. Cashmere No other yarn has the luxury factor of cashmere, which makes it intimidating to use. But, as it turns out, cashmere is soft and smooth, making it a breeze to stitch. However, you’ll have to block the finished project afterwards to preserve its shape. Mohair Another gorgeous fiber, this yarn has a distinctly fuzzy appearance. Because of this, though, it’s hard to see your stitches as you work.

...........So, how many of you have gone out and got one? What am I talking about? The eagerly awaited first issue of Mollie Makes. I couldn't wait to grab my copy, and boy it did not disappoint! I have to say, if I am totally honest, I have issues with craft magazines of all sorts. Their front covers just have absolutely no appeal for me. Now, in their defense, I have bought the odd one, when a cover piece sentence has really struck me, but that is not often. And also, my mother-in-law does send me the odd copy through the post, and often as I flick through I find one or two things that I want to try....but in general, if I do crafty then it's from a book. I'm a real homes magazines kind of gal, so to find a craft magazine that features homes that are of a crafty inspirational angle, then that does it for me! This one promised to be different. Beautiful eye catching front cover, gorgeous drool over pictures and photos, awesome features pages....dottie angel and Lola Nova amongst others. Printed on quality paper, beautifully presented, definitely a mag you will want to collect, look after, keep referring to and have for a long time. I really hope that they keep up the amazing standard they have set. Definitely the mag for me! So, as you can tell from the pictures, I got a bit carried away with the front page project! Just LOVED them........COMPLETELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM!!!!! Quick and easy to do, I had so many odds and ends of cotton yarn to use up, perfect for this. After a couple I remembered the pattern in my head so whilst it was fresh in my mind I carried on! So, well whether they are practical or not, they will be used! One in each of the Bears lunch boxes, one for my bag, one even for Mr H! And a few to keep in a bowl and just stare at longingly!!!!!! Seriously I am a nut! These became the focus at the weekend. My blanket progress was slower . I did manage to get a few squares made, so my total so far is 317. I have just 115 to do. Wow, still a fair amount and I don't even reckon that I will be half way on the make it stage. It will take forever to sew together and then another forever to sew all the ends in! I'm so sure that it will be worth it though! Nothing else was really done at the weekend. By Thursday we were all getting attacks of the sneezles, so by Saturday, Mr H was in bed and I soldiered on until I hit the brick wall midday Sunday. An evening on the sofa watching Practical Magic cheered me up no end! Love that film, want to live in that house! Right, cup of tea, drool some more over the apple cosies and then crack on with all the mundane that I didn't do at the weekend! I have the wanties for Lola Novas Garland tutorial too. Need to look out some ribbons next. I am feeling the crafty love! So much to do and so little time! Cheerio all, Have a super Duper Monday!!!!!!! xxx

This contest is now closed. Thank you so much to everyone who participated! To find out who won, click here. That's right, folks...we have another book contest! And if you have never done entrelac knitting, you should really give it a try! It can look intimidating at first, but you will be a pro in no time with Rosemary Drysdale’s book, Entrelac: The Essential Guide to Interlace Knittng. It can be a fun and rewarding technique that not only looks complicated and fancy, but is so versatile at the same time. The book begins with Rosemary leading you through every step of the way in understanding the concepts and techniques used for entrelac knitting. Using modular triangles and squares, you can create really stunning and interesting pieces using cables, lace or colorwork. One of my favorite things about this book is the entrelac stitch dictionary that highlights over 60 different stitch patterns! Once you understand the concepts behind entrelac knitting, this stitch dictionary makes a wonderful resource that allows you to create your very own designs with confidence.

Probably I'm not the only one who has few projects sitting in the back of my closet I'm not going to finish. There are many reasons why some projects were abandoned. Perhaps you've lost interest in or your taste in color has changed. Maybe you have old knit/crochet sweaters or shawls you don't wear anymore. As a designer,

It's yet another January, and once again my goal is to master Tunisian crochet this year. I failed at accomplishing it that last two years, not because it's difficult, but because I have so little time I can commit to crochet that I usually fall back on standard crochet because it's quick and easy for me because I've been doing it for years. But I swear, this year will be different.

Ever since my bf wanted me to knit him a Dr Who's scarf, I've been looking for the different colour wools that is similar to the original scarf. But choosing the right colours have been difficult and the length of the scarf have been holding me back from starting the project and being a 'not' Dr Who's fan didn't help either. I've got 2 half priced vouchers from http://www.skeinz.com and I thought this will be a great project to use up these vouchers. The lady from the shop was really helpful and helped me pick up the colours that was very similar to the scarf which saves me from looking in the shop for hours. The wools just arrived this morning and I'm really happy with the colours. I'll be going on a cruise with my family before this xmas and would be a great time for me to just lay in the sun and knit. I've found the pattern from http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com/season12.php . I know...they have a whole website dedicated to the scarf.... how crazy is that.!!! Killerbees
