New batch of fleece from Penny. This is a pattern I haven’t seen before: Edged in Loops & Threads Impeccable yarn in Aqua, which I am pretty sure was leftover from a previous project. But I am too lazy to go back and look… Continue Reading “Blanket 42”
Michael’s finally starting putting their house yarn on sale again, so I tried the Charisma line: Three skeins of Black Raspberry (the variegated) and seven skeins of Fuchsia. Single crochet. My mother thinks this is awfully heavy, and perhaps it is for a little kid.… Continue Reading “Blanket 41”
This morning, my veterinarian’s office posted on Twitter that they will be co-hosting a Canine Cancer Walk on October 1. I hope that by then, Gibbs will be well enough trained and socialized to participate. But that reminded me of several other pet-related fundraising… Continue Reading “Several Chicagoland Fundraisers for Pets”
Is in the washing machine right now to be delivered to Project Linus in the morning. I forgot to take a pic before bringing it to the laundry room. Lucky for me it looks exactly like this one: Except the crocheted edge is Pound… Continue Reading “Blanket 40”
Finished this last night and I have one more fleece before Project Linus day on Wednesday. Ha. That was Caron Soft yarn in Grey Heather. Four rows single crochet.

If you count Sigmund the Foster Grey (more on him later), there are four pets in my house: Dog, cat, two African Greys. And they need stuff. Food, treats, meds, toys, various supplies. I have no one source for all of my needs, so… Continue Reading “Petango”
Yeah, yeah. Finished another blanket this weekend. I want to record this stuff, as I am giving them away as soon as possible, and I am too lazy to set up another blog for it. So, the bear fleece came from Penny’s stash, and… Continue Reading “Blanket 38”
I’d been doing so many Penny Blankets that I forgot how very long it takes to crochet a full one: The variegated yarn in the center is Red Heart Soft in Plummy. Yarn colors are starting to sound like nail polish colors these days.… Continue Reading “Blanket 37”
I had an oversized Raggedy Ann as a kid and loved her so much that when she really fell apart – the stuffing in her foot was being held together by duct tape – my mother found me a new one. I was 13.… Continue Reading “Blanket 36”
