heart squares

I thought I'd pop in and share what I've been doing.

I've been working through my stash yarn as I may have mentioned before. These heart squares by Mayhem & Majesty take less than an ounce of yarn. The pattern is very simple. It's called the Filet Crochet Heart Granny Square.

The hook is the birthday hook given to me by my friend Fran.


I plan to continue making these in between other projects.

Happy crocheting!

afghan and snowmageddon

I know I've been away a while. Lots of health issues but I continue to crochet as I can. Here is the scrap afghan I just finished. 

Yarn: sport scraps

Hook: G/4.0mm

Pattern: straight dc. Two strips with foundation chain of 50 and one of 100. I tried to get 10 rows of each color and succeeded with the 50 stitch strips. For the 100 it was whatever I had.

Size: 44" x 54" 


Louisiana is currently having snow issues. There was even a blizzard but not in my area. It has been snowing since this morning - it's almost 4pm now. We expect a few more hours of it.  I've not gone outside as it is cold and I'm not steady on grass, much less snow! Louisiana is not equipped to handle snow, especially of this magnitude, so everything is shut down. We've been told not to get on the road but to shelter in place.

Here is a picture of my backyard this morning at 10am. There's a lot more snow here now.


I hope you all are warm and cozy in your homes.

Happy crocheting!
