Granny with a Twist

One of the first things people think of when they think of crochet is Granny Squares. Those little guys can be put together into nearly anything! Most commonly, they are put together in a grid to make a blanket to toss on the back of the couch. However, the humble granny square can be turned into so much more. Not just with how it is put together, but with how each square is made as well. I have found some blankets that have taken the granny square to new levels to share with you today.

Here are the names and links of each pattern.

Della Q review – hook case and notion bag

The products used in this review were provided by della Q. The opinions are those of Jessie Rayot

This summer I was given a della Q hook case and a small pouch to review. I decided the best way to do so was to take them with me on our little beach vacation and see how they fared.

I believe the hook case is actually listed as a dpn (double point needle) case for knitters, but it worked wonderfully for my Knitters Pride Dreamz hooks. It’s just the right size for a set of hooks, and it rolls up and ties easily. The construction is professional and pretty. I used it throughout our vacation, and have continued to use it with no problems. It’s really nice at home where I bounce between the basement and the first floor a lot, I can take all my most used hooks with me and not be without one when I need it!

Becky Cowl

The Becky Cowl is a triangular fringed wrap with a turtleneck top. It is made entirely with knit stitches, no purls. The fringes are made by dropping stitches, and they are loop fringes, so no worries of them fraying!

Have you ever tried wet felting with roving? I sure hadn’t, I’m only just venturing out into the world of felted art, and I’m having a blast. My latest foray into felting introduced me to Felt Evolution and their awesome felting kits. I tried out the felted picture kit as my intro into wet felting art.
