mio After a long slew of bright and bold baby blankets, I think I’m finally ready to go back to the old pale green and yellow stripes again.
Remember this one?
Yep! I’m totally ready to get back to it! (Look at me, being all responsible! Finishing what I start, and all.)
In other news, I decided to prep some more eyelash yarn for use. I can never find the centre-pull on novelty yarn, so I rewound a couple of balls in an effort to solve that problem:
There they are, all prepped and ready for me to do more experimenting.
What’s that?
Behind the yarn? I don’t know what you’re talking about.
No, wait! There’s no need to look closer! Wait- !
Seriously, back away from the laptop! Don’t make me get ugly! *shakes a fist*
Ok, ok. I admit it. I’ve started another blanket. At least it’s pale green and yellow! That’s a step in the right direction, right?
Er…
And now for a distraction helpful video! Tired of uneven edges when doing rows of dc? Unhappy with how different the turning chain looks from the regular stitches? (”ch3 counts as first dc” my butt!) Check out this video I found on how to skip the turning chain and start with a dc.
(And don’t forget to watch the tc version)
…
What?

I just watched your video and I think that is a very crative stitch. I will have to try that very soon. Do you know if that stitch also works when you crochet in the round?
Just to be clear, I didn’t make that video, I just found it. I have successfully used it while working in the round, but I’ve been using primarily fuzzy yarns so I can’t say for sure what it looks like (other than: it looks more like the surrounding stitches).
I’ll try it with some regular yarn and get back to you. ^_^
