WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK?
If you are just joining us, you’ll need to check our Part One of the December CAL here. This week we will be finishing our blanket by crocheting the border - and then we're done!
If you are making the one color version, keep using that color for the border. If you are making the 2 color version, I recommend...
Grab your supplies and let's get crocheting! The holidays are just around the corner, and I can't think of anything better than staying warm under a cozy crocheted blanket!
In Part one of our CAL we will talk a bit about gauge, sizing, and make the main portion of the blanket!Â
When crocheting garments or wearable, gauge can be super important. But with blankets, it's not as big a deal - there's just a lot more wiggle room! The most important thing is that you get fabric coming off the hook that's not too loose or too tight. You don't want a blanket that's full of giant holes, but you also don't want one that's stiff as a board!
The official gauge for this blanket is...
Join Furls and Tamara of Moogly for the latest Furls Fiberarts Crochet-a-Long. Â This month we will be making a gorgeous throw pattern, perfect for holiday gift, or just to cuddle up with your loved ones this holiday season. Â
One more Crochet-a-Long has been added to the books. Â Thank you so much for joining us. Â Please enter your finished project here for a chance to win even more prizes.
If you are just joining us, you’ll need to check our Part One of the November CAL here. This week we will be completing our gloves by crocheting the knit-look ribbed arm section and embellishing it with a Crocodile Stitch edging. Considering how wonderfully fast-learning and dedicated everyone has been (yay everyone!) you actually might be done with your gloves in just a few more hours.
Do I like to check gauge? Nope. Never did, never will. When I get a new pattern that I love, I just want to jump in and start crocheting the whole thing, and checking gauge first is tedious and boring and doesn’t immediately make progress on your project in any obvious way.
After many gigantic hats and skin-tight sweaters with sleeves two inches too short, I finally learned my lesson. For certain projects, there are just no short cuts. This is one of those. We must check gauge...
To get everyone ready to hit the ground running next week, we’ve uploaded a sweet little tutorial of Crocodile Stitch.
A big thanks to Trisha Kahan in Austin, TX for leading us through this stitch! It’s a beautifully simple stitch that should be in every crocheter’s toolset. I’m going to give you a little description and then I’ll let the video speak for itself!
