I am participating in The Crochet Crowd’s Stitch-cation Summer Crochet Challenge.
Here are my first blocks using the “popcorn” stitch.
In addition to learning new stitches for the blocks we are being challenged to use at least 8 different colours. I will make an afghan with all the blocks in this challenge.

I’m knitting a Canadian hockey sweater for my 7 year old son. The player is emerging.
There is a trend of “rave knitting” in the UK that was featured in the Daily Mail. Kelley D basically floats out a few balls of bright coloured yarn into a crowd and they wrap the yarn around them, making human knitting. It’s an innovative concept, however, have you ever had yarn wrap around you and somebody tug? Ouch! What about all those substance-assisted participants falling over. I think I’ll pass. What do you think – would you try it? Read the details here. Photo Source: dailymail.co.uk
The past few days I have gone over the process of how to prepare your shirts, how to lay them out to tell a story, how to sash the shirts to make a top and today is the Alpha Omega sorority t-shirt quilt final reveal! You will notice that the sashing is green and the binding is gold – the thread is also agolden colour if you can see it. These are Alpha Omega’s colours and my client was really excited to have these colours represented. For those who are wondering, I used the “bumpity” pantograph pattern on the quilt.

Can hardly wait to see what it is like when you get it finished.
Me too! I am working on blocks 3 and 4 this weekend and I love how it’s turning out! It’s also great to brush up on different stitches and techniques.
