new trend? c2c crochet graphgan...

Hello to all! I was looking around on  Ravelry  for a few baby gift ideas and patterns, while surfing I came across some cute blankets with pictures in them. I have made quite a few myself over the years, but I kept seeing c2c in the pattern name or description... I had no idea what it meant. I had to look! These blankets were so cute and had a lovely texture to them. Here is a great video explaining how to crochet Corner 2 Corner while following a graph. I had to give this a try! I've made these 'graphagans' before by using single crochet with color changes, single crochet with cross stitch (least fave) and Tunisian crochet (fave!)... So I went searching for charts, graphs, c2c. But the best I found was under pixel art and 8 bit! Here was my try....it was quite advance considering the color changes... Here is my block: 4.00mm hook and ww yarn 6.5 in Omg! The ends, look at my wip! But.. My son loved it! I was thrilled with the texture and h...

That's what I'm leaving ...

new year 2018!

Hello to all! Yes, I'm still here! Even if I haven't been here on my blog. Sorry about wasting your time checking in and no updates in so long! Life has changed so much since I've started the blogging adventure! I used to be a SAHM and yes we are busy to, but I always found time for crafting and submitting. I went to school to better my family, graduated and fell in LOVE with my career. Yes, career and not just a job. I am a Certified Dental Assistant! Everyday is filled to helping patients, helping other staff and learning! This year I have really started off self thinking and aweareness about little things I need and want to change for me and my family. It is really hard to do things for myself, but since I'm recovering from a minor procedure, I realize I have to take care of my health or I'm not good for my family or anybody else. I've started little things, writing in a cute daily planner I received from my mom. Writing days out in advance, planning to do li...
