Free Pattern: Crocheted Baby Snuggle – Updated 07/2023
Update 07/25/2023: I've added a diagram of the layout of the pattern to hopefully help when doing the trim! Please forgive its sad representation of the snuggle pattern. I tend to stick to drawing with invisible ink because I'm terrible at it, LOL I've also added...

i know it's been absolute ages since i posted, everything started going crazy at the end of last year and it just kept getting crazier. three days before my mom's open heart surgery, my aunt died from complications due to her's, which hit us really hard. mom came...
warcraft fans/addicts: boomie, the moonkin pattern
i've been playing world of warcraft since march-2005 and... ok, FINE, i'm not just a fan, i'm an addict. many moons ago, on my first trip into the hinterlands, i discovered "owlbeasts" and instantly HAD TO HAVE ONE. part bear, part owl/bird, part feral cat - they're...

Coming and going and spinning around in circles. It’s been that kind of month.
It's been a crazy couple of weeks, so I've not been posting because I've not been sure if I'm coming or going. I'm trying hard to stay upbeat, but it's not been easy... On the way to San Antonio to sit with my aunt for her open-heart surgery, I stopped by Mom's place...
Have guild, need sword! It’s the rules.
So i finally got around to joining the Crochet Guild of America! But, of course, the rule is: you can't join a guild without a sword and... (ok, mostly that's just my rule, but a good rule it is, nevertheless!)... so I set out immediately to forge mah sword! I'm...
World of Warcraft queue causes spontaneous creativity
Nerdy, geeky person enters, stage left: So, there I sat. I'd already run my daily World of Warcraft instance and was all ~gung-ho~ to run it with my moonkin, but alas, the queue was taking *forever*. Being the patient, calm, laid-back person that I am (Hush!), I...
What do you do when you decide you dislike the yarn you loved before?
When I bought this yarn, I was all, "OMG, THIS IS THE BEST YARN EVER." I'd no idea what I was going to make with it, but I had to have it. But then months went by and, apparently, my fickle nature set in and, while digging through my yarn stash, I decided I was no...

The End of The Tale of How I Went Blind Trying to Crochet (Part 3)
No, really. I've DONE IT. I have made... Well, basically, I have made the world's best crocheted marble EVER. It all started because I wanted to crochet a beaded necklace, but with the pattern calling for a .75mm steel crochet hook and SEWING THREAD, I first had to...
The Tale of How I Went Blind Trying to Crochet (Part 2)
As I stated previously, I'd purchased The Complete Photo Guide to Crochet and, in the very back of the book, there is a gallery of items created by the book's contributors... Which is where I saw something like this: I had to have it. Those beads are absolutely...
The Tale of How I Went Blind Trying to Crochet (Part 1)
Recently I've been on some kind of frenzied hunt for crochet books… I swear, they’re *like crack to me*! I can’t pass a bookstore without rushing to the craft section to see what they have. Then, someone recently gave me an Amazon gift card and I spent… 5… F I V E…...

Free Pattern: Crocheted Asshats!
Recently, I went to visit my aunt & uncle. I was reminded of all the summers that I’d spent at their home in Canyon Lake, Texas (beautiful, beautiful area) and during those visits, I learned to love HeeHaw (and pfft! she was gone!), square dancin’ (yes, i CAN acey...
Welcome to The Snarled Skein
When I was a little girl, my bestfriend’s mother decided that we needed to learn something "suitable for young ladies", rather than our cavorting around like little hellions for the summer. For the next few weeks, we dabbled in various crafts: needlepoint,...
