C2C Heart

Only this week I heard the phrase 'C2C crochet', meaning corner to corner crochet, at the blog from Lola is Hooked. Guess I'm the last crocheter on earth who's using this technique, but after seeing it, I wanted to try it right away and with Valentine's Day around the corner I went for a simple heart pattern, that's actually a cross stitch pattern.


That's what I like the most about this stitch, that I can use cross stitch patterns for it! I'm thinking about this one (but only as all ongoing projects I'm busy with are finally finished and that can take years):

This last week I lost a lot of followers, so I'm asking myself what is wrong. Has someone hacked my blogged to send unkind messages to my readers or something? Ten in one day is a lot of lost followers, I think. I've lost followers before, of course, but one at a time, not this much in just one day. Are you experiencing the same? 
Or is it my blog that's just boring and are people just not that interested anymore? And if this is the case, do you have any suggestions to make the blog more vibrant, interesting and nice to read again?

    Hi Liz,
    Love the heart! Sorry to hear about the loss of followers, that is frustrating and sometimes doesn't make any sense. But keep plugging away, I love looking at the things you make. :) Thanks for partying with us at #TALENTEDTuesday.
    Cheers,
    AJ

    Love the heart! C2C is still on my to do list, so *I* am probably the last crocheter to give it a try. ;-)

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

Image
  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo

Christmas Scrunchies (free pattern)

Image
 Of all the things I made this year, Crocheted Scrunchie s were the biggest hit. My daughter wears them all the time, in her hair and/or on her arm, so I thought Christmas Scrunchies would be nice, too.  I'm happy to say my duaghter thinks this Christmas variety 'is just as great as the regular, no mom, even better'!  My daughter is thirteen now, so I'm wondering if it will last very much longer, that enthusiasm over mom made things, but I hope it does, because I really enjoy making things for my daughters.   How I made them: Round 1: 40 dc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Change color Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Change color Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Change c

Crocheted Scrunchies

Image
My daughter asked me to crochet some scrunchies for her. Not that much work, I thought, so one evening, after she went to bed, I started crocheting. Turned out next morning that the scrunchies that I made weren't exactly the ones she had in mind. She meant scrunchies like the fabric ones: a tunnel with a piece of elastic in it. Luckily she liked mine much better, so I got away well. Not sure if they will be in use as hair bands or bracelets, though. Teenagers think in mysterious ways, aren't they? How I made them: Round 1: 40 sc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Round 4: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in every dc of
