Road Trip Crochet Pattern Round Up

Road Trip ~ Crochet Pattern Round Up from Jessie At Home

With Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, and whatever other holidays just around the corner, many of us will be spending a decent amount of time in a car. I know when we take road trips to visit family for the holidays, I like to have a project to work on in the car, in the hotel, or even just while sitting around with friends and family. I find that I need my road trip projects to be simple enough that I can make them even if I am slightly distracted. I’ve searched around and found some patterns that I think will work nicely for road trips, I hope you enjoy them.

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.

Studio Update

Hello there my blogland friends. I hope your week is starting out well.

Today I have some more studio reno photos for you. Right now the studio is sort of at a holding point. I’m hoping that I can get most of the remaining boxed items cleaned and organized into my new space throughout November. For now, I’m still catching up on all the work that got put on hold while I was renovating.

So here are some pictures, with a bit about each one. I’m pretty happy with it.

Due to the pipes in the back corner of my basement, the little cement ledge didn’t go all the way to the back wall, so

Table Settings Round Up

Table Setting Crochet Pattern Round Up by Jessie At Home

As the weather gets colder, I always seem to get the nesting bug. I guess I just like to make sure my home is cozy if we are all going to be cooped up in here for the next several months. One thing that makes my home feel more cozy is a nice table setting, plus if you’re having company for Thanksgiving dinner, a pretty table is always impressive! So, here are some crochet patterns to add to your table.

Studio Update

Hello my friends! The never~ending renovation to my basement studio is moving along. Here is a little reminder of where this all started.

The yarn storage wall is still in limbo. I hope to finish it up this week. I had to take a break from it because I REALLY needed to get back down here and start getting my “stuff” cleaned and put away. The Unicorn Fibre products are doing a spectacular job getting the yarn and finished items cleaned up, however, I had to take a break from cleaning until I had a place to put everything! I seem to have issues doing things in the right order…

Here are some photos of some of the progress on the main part of my studio.

Starting-to-look-like-a-room

We put up some paneling to cover the furring strips and cheap insulation. The walls will still need to be finished properly one day, but at least they look better now. The ceiling just has fabric stapled up, but it’s a million times better than the joists with the miles of wires and pipes everywhere. We sealed and painted the floor, then tossed some inexpensive carpet down. I have more to go along in front of my yarn storage wall, and to line the stairs. I wanted gray, but they were out. I’m really glad they were, because I love this blue and I think the room really needed the color.

I bought a slipcover for the loveseat (which has been vacuumed a couple times since the soot incident) but
