Crochet Openwork Octagon Square Motif

ByJanel December 5, 2022February 5, 2023

Built from the septagon mat, but I decided to make this a separate post. I was so tickled with how the septagon design looked that I wanted to make some more using flower colors. Good luck joining seven sided motifs, so it had to turn into eight. But a square is simpler! While messing around…

Crochet Openwork Septagon Counter Mat

ByJanel November 25, 2022February 11, 2023

I wanted, not a dishcloth, but a cotton round to lie on the kitchen counter for cushion under pans and things. I wanted it openwork for more ventilation. 1)   Dig through the internet for two hours  2)  There’s nothing like that  3) Invent something. Not that I really cared until I started, but there aren’t…

Diamond Granny Crochet Motif

ByJanel December 5, 2021February 3, 2023

Crocheting for Relaxation

ByJanel August 14, 2019May 4, 2022

Yarn is a very good thing for PTSD symptoms  🙂 Here’s my latest scrapghan project. No, that’s the old one!  I started that long ago, at the other place, and had worked on it in little bits for so many years that it had acquired a feeling of should. “I’ve worked on it for so…

A Better Spiral Crochet Granny Square

ByJanel August 13, 2019May 4, 2022

Went looking on internet. Really, nobody’s done it quite like this? I’m surprised!  Probably it’s out there somewhere but I couldn’t find it. So I made up my own which I think is much more authentic grannyish than the other ideas I could find.  The others are very cool and artistic but they’re more complex,…
