Slow Sunday Stitching ~ Green Metallico Radius Shawl from Life in the Scrapatch

Another cold winter day here today.

Always good weather to stay at home and do some slow stitching.

My kitty crochet inspector is saying, "Time for my lunch break."

Cassian gets grumpy when he thinks it is mealtime.

This is a shawl for My Girl and she picked out the yarn and pattern.

The yarn is Metallico from Hobbii Yarn ~ Color 10

Hobbii often puts this yarn at about 40% -50% off, so if you are interested,

bookmark the page and watch for it to go on sale.

This is shipped from Europe and it arrives very quickly.

The one ...

Stitch Sew & Show ~ 2022 ~ Week 33 from Life in the Scrapatch

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ 2022 ~ Week

I am back after after another week plus of being away from my computer.

Nothing life changing; just life happening.

I have been working on my

Purple Shawl Project ~ Last Posted Here

and have been making good progress.

I have started calling this my "Winging It Shawl"

as I have been designing as I go.

After adding the first shoulder in this photo,

I decided it looks like I am adding wings to the square

that forms the back of the shawl.

The color changing yarn that I am using for this project ...

Stitch Sew & Show ~ 2022 ~ Week 32 from Life in the Scrapatch

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ 2022 ~ Week 32

This week I am continuing my purple crochet shawl project.

I finished the border on Purple Shawl ~ Back Block

early in the week and now am working on adding the two sides to the block

to make the shoulder sections.

The stitch I have chosen for the sides is the

Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS).

This is a very easy stitch.

This looks much like a regular knitting stitch and is achieved by inserting the hook into the space between the front and back bar (also called the legs) of the stitch, front ...

Hello, August ~ Back to Blogging from Life in the Scrapatch

Happy August!

I have been sitting and stitching and enjoying summer.

Mr. Scrapatch has been working all week and catching up on all the projects that need doing around the Scrapatch on the weekends. Here he is yesterday using his portable electric cement mixer to replace cement landing for the back steps.

The steps and stringers also need replacing,

so there is a gaping hole off the back porch ...

... and a pile of wood and bags of cement on the deck under the gazebo.

I am very blessed that he can do the work and I can sit and stitch ...

I Like Thursday # 141 ~ One Stitch At A Time from Life in the Scrapatch

Good Morning, My Friends!

Time to head over to

I Like Thursday @ Not Afraid of Color

and share the small things in which we find joy in life.

It is not always as easy to do as it should be.

Quite frankly, there is too much pain and sadness in the world.

Katniss and I have been spending time just stitching and dreaming of peace.

Making and doing for others has always been my go-to form of coping ...

... and going forward one stitch at a time.

This Finished Shawl Posted Here was made for a friend's 70th birthday,

Lion Brand Watercolor Yarn

This color is called Teaberry and it is beautiful shades of variegated pink.

and a 9mm Tunisian Crochet Hook

I made the body of this shawl following the

Phyllite ~ Free Tunsian Crochet Shawl Pattern

This pattern is from Andrea @

I used almost all of three skeins to complete the body of this shawl.

Then with a forth skein of yarn and a regular crochet hook I added three rounds

of Front Loop Single Crochet.

Then I added a picot ...

I Like Thursday # 140 ~ Suddenly Summer ~ Suddenly Not from Life in the Scrapatch

Good Evening!

I am late joining my friends @

I Like Thursday @ Not Afraid of Color

to share the simply joyful things in life.

It has been a very cool and rainy day so I am enjoying the blooms opening on the big rhododendrons outside my window from the comfort of my sofa today.

Last weekend it was hot for a weekend in mid-May in my corner of the planet.

It seemed summer unexpectedly had arrived mid-Spring.

Then the strong on-shore winds that have been blowing all spring returned.

Today's day of rain was much more like an early spring ...

As my faithful followers know, I also stitch in my backyard ... and with my cats ...

Since summer has abruptly arrived here, I have been mostly doing just that.

Fiber Projects from Becca's Crazy Projects

I'm still making progress on my mosaic crochet blanket. It isn't fast but I really like how it is working up. I learned this design by watching a YouTube by Tinna. You can find her on Ravelry. From there you will find her patterns and links to her videos. Totally worth your time if you want to learn about mosaic crochet.

I finished a row on my Tunisian crochet shawl. Pattern is Ard-Ri, available on Ravelry.

This is a project that has been set aside and I think I'll try to get back to it this week ...

Odds and Ends from Becca's Crazy Projects

I saw a fund video on YouTube from Bigger Bolder Baking and wanted to give it a try. These are hand-held apple pies made from mostly scratch (purchased pie dough). They are Devine when warmed in the microwave, broken into thirds, and served with a scoop of ice cream.

Aunt Betty made another delivery.

I will never manage to sew with all this fabric.

This time there was some yarn, too. I have so many ideas for this yarn. I'll be busy all winter.

I worked on my Tunisian crochet shawl after dinner on Saturday while watching television. Even ...

I finished these fun socks made with a couple leftovers from other socks. These were made of leftover semi-solid black from the middle of a ball of Knit Picks Duos, colorway Rocket Ship. I didn't know if I had enough for the sock but it worked out great with two row stripes of each color. The other is a speckle leftover from an Into the Whirled, colorway Captain Tight Pants. These came out so much better than I could have hoped and I love them.

I worked on my Ard-ri shawl some more. The fabric for this one is ...

Tunisian Crochet from Becca's Crazy Projects

There are few Tunisian Crochet designers on Ravelry. One of those designers is Aoibhe Ni. I've been looking at her many patterns trying to decide on one to buy. I did find her free pattern Saoirse easy to follow and easy to stitch. I just wasn't as excited about the Tunisian crochet lace as I thought I might be. Then, she released her latest pattern and I could not resist.

The the pattern called Ard-ri, available on Ravelry. After a couple false starts (this is standard for me when making shawls) I got moving along nicely. Then, I ...

I tried to make a quick-disconnect holder for masks. Progress was spotty, needs more work.

I worked on another Granny Hack shawl that turned out too short and will end being a cowl.

I made some Tunisian crochet swatches to test an idea.

Because my set of Tunisian crochet hooks arrived.

Tunisian Crochet Update from Becca's Crazy Projects

I finished another dishcloth using the Very Pink pattern for Tunisian Shaker Dishcloths. It was super fun to watch the colors of the variegated yarn work up. I still have cotton yarn, so I will likely make several more of these.

I also found some really amazing Tunisian crochet patterns for shawls. This is just the beginning of one called Saoirse. It's a stunning shawl and the designer has so many other great Tunisian crochet patterns. Check out her work if you want to try something new. I don't think this is quite the right yarn for this ...
