    Bobble Pumpkin
    Pattern: Ribbed Bobble Pumpkin by Breann Mauldin ($3 crochet pattern on Ravelry or free option on this website)
    Hook: G (4.0 mm)
    Yarn: Sprightly Acrylic Worsted in the Ecru Colorway
    My Ravelry Project Page
     
    Bedside Pocket
    Pattern: None
    Yarn: Kindful Yarn, Swish DK, Kenzie Yarn, Cape Cod Yarn Co
    Hook: 6.5 mm (K)
    Ravelry Project Page
    I started this project on 9/4.
    75 sts across. Single crochet.
    First section- Kindful yarn with Swish DK in Mimic
    Second section- Kenzie Yarn with Cape Cod Yarn Co
    Third Section- Kindful Yarn (lighter colorway) with Quince & Co
    I folded it over, seamed up both sides then put border around all the way over. I used yarn to seam up the middle to separate pocket into 2 so it would be less floppy.
    Final thoughts- could be a little deeper, but I can always add to it.

    Let the Mystery Unravel 2023 Blanket of Calm
    Pattern: Blanket of Calm by Casapinka (free crochet pattern)
    Yarn: Woolen Women Fibers- Let the Mystery Unravel subscription + Cascade Heritage
    Hook: 3.25 mm (D)
    Ravelry Project Page
    You can find my September 2023 Let the Mystery Unravel Unboxing Video on YouTube.
    This subscription is not available to new subscribers but I hope you'll watch each month and see how my blanket comes along. Stay tuned to Woolen Women for all of the fun kits they have! Don't forget, they're Pro Shop Sponsors.
    Progress Notes- I didn't like the sc border I originally added (confirmed by blocking) so I ripped it back. I am now working the border in dc like the granny squares. 1 DC in the spot where each square is seamed together, then (2dc, ch2, 2 dc) in each corner and that seems to be working well.

    I'd like to crochet a pocket to put between the mattress and the platform part of our bed. I sleep with my heating pad nearly every night and depending on how I move, and especially when I get out of bed, the controller for the heating pad clangs loudly against the wooden drawers and metal drawer pulls of the platform bed. I'd like to hold several strands together and make a large piece of fabric with a pocket in it, to hold the controller and muffle the sound. I need to g

    Yarn: Lion Brand Re-Up
    Hook: G (4.25 mm)
    Ravelry Project Page
    About the project: Hattie (age 5) saw a water bottle holder at the local refill store and asked for one. Her Mom, Megg texted asking if I could please make one for Hattie. The pattern is designed for an adult/larger sized water bottle so I knew I wanted to make mine smaller than called for in the pattern. I started in blue and increased up to about 38 sts around. Instead of double crochets, I worked half double crochets instead. 6 rows hdc, followed by 3 rows of (ch1, dc around) in purple. Then I repeated that in pink.
    I had planned to do the strap half pink and half purple, but when I had Hattie try it on, it was too long (even though I had been accounting for a serious amount of stretch). She said it needed attention regardless because there wasn’t any blue in the strap. Noted. Thankfully, I’d anticipated my picky client and brought all three colors with me to the pool. I ripped back, adjusted the length, added some blue to the second half of the strap and voila!

    Each section is 11 squares tall. Green, white, pink, white, purple, white.
    I used mattress stitch to seam  all 6 strips together. I used white to do a dc border round, then a hdc round. From there I did a crochet pom pom border using 2 puff stitches that you fold over to make bobbles. I first used this border on a Cozy Clusters Blanket last summer (Ravelry project page here). I learned about this edge technique on this website.

Like spending time with a true friend!

I’ve been a listener to Jen for many, many years now and I’m even more excited now than ever to see another episode drop. Her podcast has evolved with time and so has she. Jen is sensitive to the ways of the world and creates a welcoming community. I love hearing how she channels her creativity and shares it with listeners and loved ones.

Woke

So tired of every podcast being woke. When I first start a podcast and here someone stating their “ pronouns” I immediately don’t want to listen. There are 2 genders people and you are born with that gender!
