PICTURAL C2C

 I've moved from dishcloth to a blanket 

using the C2C (corner to corner) stitches.  

You just follow the graph diagonally in a kind of intarsia method.

  It is harder to describe than it is to do! lol

As I worked along, I wondered if the graph would also work for a quilt; using different shades of the key elements to produce the design!  I think it will make an interesting study to compare!

  There are several free patterns available for these newer crochet patterns.  It's good to learn something new!

IT'S A WRAP!

I  crocheted right through the basket filled with balls and partial skeins of dishcloth cotton!

Now the basket is filled with twenty three 7-8" dishcloths

 in the C2C pattern!

And I wanted to share that I added loops to the hot pads I had made and hung them on the end of the kitchen island--now the color really pops and makes me happy!

 

CALL ME!

I made my first Call Me! bag yesterday and it was a good project!  I can see why Chris makes so many! 

It is a free pattern, too.

The front.

The back.

The front has a vinyl pocket for a class name tag or a ship pass, with a zippered pocket for credit card or cash.

The back holds your phone. 

 This might be my first but will not be my last either!

And I think it's become an obsession! 

 They work up so quickly and enjoyably,

 I am using up my dishcloth cotton!!!

 

TOSSED ABOUT THURSDAY

I'm a bit late to the C2C (corner to corner) Crocheting Fad

 but I just learned it by making a dishcloth! 

 Yes, I liked it enough to make a second one!  

And another batch of rocks is finished! 

 This one is from The Rock Shed and includes several new-to-me specimens with fun names like sunstone, opalite, tiger's eye, amethyst, moss agate, and bluestone to name a few!!
