Foundation Double Crochet (Fdc) Tutorial

July 7, 2020August 19, 2020Leave a comment

I, personally, HATE working into a foundation chain. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but when you're working a solid row of single, double, or half-double crochet stitches as your first row, you'll be happy to know that there's another option! Foundation stitches!

The Kiss Stitch in the Round Crochet Tutorial

February 4, 2020December 11, 2020Leave a comment

The Kiss Stitch was originally introduced in my XOXO Throw pattern, worked in flat rows, which is a fantastic way to practice the stitch. But if you want to use this stitch pattern for other fun projects made in the round, the beginning and end of the round will vary from the way rows begin and end when worked flat.

Hi! I'm Kristen, a wife, a mom to two boys, and a breast cancer survivor. I'm passionate about crafting, particularly crochet, reading, and traveling. I love baking and only cook out of necessity. I learned to sew when I was around 9 years old but it's not my favorite thing to do. I love plants, but am not so great at growing them. I can't wait to share my adventures with you!

This has been one of the longest weeks ever…fun, but long. 😅 It’s getting close to the end of school, so there are tons of things going on with my boys at school. We’ve had A’s first track meet on Monday, J’s field day on Tuesday, A’s field trip yesterday, and today is A’s field day. I’m thankful to get to be there for all of it.

Happy Friday! I am looking forward to spending today getting some work done on another pattern that’s been in my “unwritten” folder for a while. But I’m not ready to share a pic of it yet. You may see a peek of it from last summer if you scroll down far enough, but that’s the only clue I’m giving you right now. In the meantime, here is an up close detail shot of the lovely texture in the Evren Baby Blanket.
The black sand beaches of Hawaii are a mood, aren’t they?
