October Blog Stops
August 1 – November 7 2013
What’s Gauge Got to Do With It? on Calleigh’s Clips Blog
How many times have you neglected to crochet a sample swatch? I know I used to ignore that part of patterns thinking it really doesn’t matter. It’s no wonder I found some hats super gigantic and others small enough to fit a newborn. What went wrong? G.A.U.G.E.
Taking the Mystery Out of Blo Yo St on Crochet Happy Blog
As someone who has crocheted for well over 10 years I sometimes forget that to those new to the craft I’m speaking nonsense. I mean really, what is a ‘blo’, ‘flo’, ‘yo’, or ‘sp’ anyway? And what’s the purpose behind all those asterisks, brackets and parentheses?
How to Join Yarn with Minimal Loose Ends on Mac’s Crochet Blog
It’s nice to share this joining technique with Ali’s readers because it was through her Crochet a Granny Square a Day challenge in 2012 that I first discovered her blog. We’ve become online friends and I’m so proud of how she has grown her little teaching business.
For regular readers the Join-as-you-go method of joining squares is probably quite familiar to you as Ali makes her squares this way. This is one of many ways to join them. You can Google search “joining granny squares” for additional methods.
How to Make the Granule Crochet Stitch on Jei Crochet Blog
Crocheting is by far my favorite craft. Learning new ‘to me’ stitches is so fun so when I found this one I knew it was perfect for Esmerelda’s readers. This stitch is called the Granule stitch and is simple to learn. You will need to know how to make a chain and a single crochet. Knowing how the picot stitch works will help as well. (U.S. terms)
Sweet Cherry Crochet Necklace Pattern on Oombawka Design Blog
It started out innocently enough with Professor Oh’s Korean classes for my 5th grader. Little did I know when he asked to learn Korean that 1-year later I would be a Korean Drama addict. Yes it’s true this mom with a hook is now a mom with a k-pop addiction. Why am I mentioning this you may ask? This is the inspiration for the pattern I’m sharing with you today.
There is just one more stop on the Crocheting a Business blog tour. Next week I will share a simple and cute Panda coaster on Raine Dae’s blog.
Missed out on the blog tour? You can view all stops on the Hooking Blog Tour page.
