Okay so first off about making ponchos Look I made my first proper poncho in spring 2022 when I was basically just tired of wearing the same cardigan every day and wanted something that felt different but wasn’t gonna be complicated. Ponchos are actually way easier than people think because you’re basically making a large […]
Okay so I made this strawberry granny square last June when it was stupidly hot and my AC was broken, and honestly it turned out way cuter than I expected even though I was basically melting the entire time. The pattern itself is pretty straightforward once you get the color changes down but there’s this […]
okay so spiral granny squares I made my first real spiral granny square in spring 2022 when I was supposed to be doing literally anything else productive. Had a bunch of Red Heart Super Saver in my stash because it was on sale at Michaels and I figured why not try this continuous round thing […]
okay so spiral granny squares I made one of these last summer, like August 2024 I think, because I was bored with regular granny squares and kept losing track of where rounds ended. My cat kept batting at the yarn while I worked which was super annoying but anyway. The spiral version is actually way […]
okay so solid granny squares I made one of these blankets in spring 2022 when I was basically just trying to keep my hands busy after my breakup with Jason and honestly it was the perfect project because you can just zone out and make square after square without thinking too much. The solid granny […]
The Single Stitch Blanket Thing I Made Last Spring So I made one of these in spring 2022 right after my sister had her baby and honestly it was the most boring thing I’ve ever crocheted but also kinda meditative? Like you just do the same stitch over and over and your brain can completely […]
The Actual Blanket I Made Last Summer So I made this big outdoor blanket in June 2024 because I kept going to the park and sitting on this terrible thin beach towel that would bunch up and get grass all over everything. Figured a thick crochet blanket would work better and honestly it does but […]
Making the Mushroom Granny Square Thing So I made one of these back in spring 2022 when I was basically watching way too much of The Office for the millionth time and needed something to do with my hands. The mushroom granny square is basically just a regular granny square but you’re doing it in […]
okay so the moon granny square thing I made one of these back in spring 2022 when I was supposed to be organizing my closet but obviously that didn’t happen. The moon granny square is basically a circular motif worked into a square if that makes sense, and it looks pretty cool when you’re done […]
Making These Little Hearts Actually Works So I made like fifteen of these hearts back in February 2023 because my niece wanted to hand them out at school instead of buying those plasticky valentines and honestly they turned out way better than I expected. The pattern is stupidly simple but you gotta know a few […]
