  • New Pattern in the works!

    I’m currently designing a new pattern 🙂

    6-19-2026 UPDATE , CeCe’s Lightweight Crochet Poncho-

    Still working on the pattern it’s slow going because it’s busy season at my work which is full time and getting extra hours.

    This is my progress so far, I’ve done 50 rows and working on the last 25 rows. I’m using 3 colors . I’ve had this yarn from Premier Yarns for a while. They no longer sell the bobbin but they do have the Everyday Anti-pilling yarns. You do NOT have to use 3 colors. I want you to tweak it to your preferences. If you can and want to send/post some pics of your work 🙂 . With the yardage I am using I am getting 25 rows with each color, I’m making mine a large. I will get back here with the finish and dimensions/size of mine and how much yarn I used. Keep scrolling down for the original post

    Color of mine is tulipwood. I don’t think you will find this color on the Premier Yarns site. A search may yield results…..

    Until then Happy Crafting and See you back here soon….xoxox

    I’m currently designing a new pattern 🙂

    Sneak Peek……

    You will be able to use ANY #4weight yarn of your choice with this one. I’ll try a #3 weight using the same pattern after this one has been finished and posted. Stay tuned and Thank you for being here……..

    Happy Crafting xoxox

    You Got This 🙂

     Sorry for the delay in posting, I’m redoing most of the blog Post from my old account and am working on them. I have a new Youtube channel and have been working on it.

I’ve also been working on Swedish weaving, Yup I switched my crafts up again lol. Still crocheting( smaller projects) and Diamond painting.

  • A Crocheted Afghan

    Monday, August 25, 2025

    A Crochet Afghan

                                               Hello All I hope you are doing well. 💖

    I’ve been working on another design, This is an afghan that I come up with, simple design, simple border which I am still working on…

    I am using Michaels – Loops & Threads Impeccable #4 weight yarn 285 yards 4.5 oz., I used 3 skeins in Lapis which they don’t have that color anymore but they have many other colors to choose from @ Loops & Threads Impeccable

    And Caron Cakes which I also got a Michaels, another #4 weight yarn in Pistachio , again they don’t have that color but there’s other colors to choose from @ Caron Cakes

    You can use any yarn you prefer for this design.  I used 3 skeins of the Loops & Threads Impeccable. 

    Chain 80 + 4 for  26″(inch) 66cm wide , I got 92 rows @ 56″(inches) 144cm long

    Pattern as follows In the 4th chain from the hook 1 dc then 1 dc in the next stitch, Ch. 1 skip 1 and

    1dc in the next 3 stitches ch.1 skip 1 to end and the last 2 stitches 1 dc in each.

    Chain 1 turn, (I don’t chain 3 which doesn’t create that gap between  the first 2 stitches( 1 being a ch.3))

    DC in the same stitch and 1 double crochet in the next stitch , Ch. 1 ,skip 1 and 1 DC in the next 3 stitches, Repeat to end.

    Follow the pattern for as many rows as you would like for your Afghan.

    For the border I started in a corner and sc ch 1 sc in each corner and then  single crocheted around as evenly as possible with the Caron Cakes yarn. 

    You can stop there or choose which ever crochet stitch you would like to use, I made 1 up using a half double crochet but tricky part is don’t complete the half double crochet yet. Pull thru that will create the first chain then chain 2 more 

    Then you will go into the base of the half double and slip stitch

    then yarn over and create your next half double the same way in each stitch around with a half double picot ch 1 hd picot in the corners.

    That’s all 🙂 Until next time

    Happy Crafting………
