In addition to baking I’m also a crafter. My main craft is crochet. But I’ve also gotten into quilting. You can read all my posts about crafting here.

Crochet Update

Published on by RJ1 Comment

Hi Readers!!

Things have been really busy for me lately, which is why I haven’t been posting too much. But I had a little bit of time today and I finally finished Part One of Atlanticus, which is one of my current crochet projects. Here’s what it looks like after doing 14 rounds.

I really enjoy the colors I chose for this project and I think it works with the ocean/mermaid theme splendidly. While this section is not perfect (you can see that it is slightly asymmetrical), I think its beautiful and I cannot wait to see how this one works up. Eventually it will turn square shape. Since I am slightly over-gauge, my blanket will be a bit larger than the original finished design, but that’s okay with me. I’m just worried I may need more yarn.

I hope to get back to baking soon, but until then, stitch on!

New Crochet Start

Every now and then, I take a break from baking.

This can be for a number of reasons. Sometimes it’s because my “baking bug” has gone away, and I have trouble finding it. Other times, I feel like baking, but I just have nothing to bake. Sometimes I just don’t feel like baking, or wish to spend my time another way. It is a lot of dishes, usually. And I hate doing dishes. Other times, I’m just too busy.

I can’t believe it’s been almost two weeks since my last blog post. I guess I did mean it when I said I won’t be blogging as much over the next two months due to the rehearsal schedule for the show I’m working on.

But I had today off from work, so I did some things around the house and had some time for a quick blog post!

An Almost Mid-Summer Update

Published on by RJ1 Comment

I can hardly believe that it is almost the middle of July! The summer has just been flying by. Since it’s summer, I don’t like to turn the oven very much (or even at all) which is why the baking posts have been almost non-existent for the last couple of weeks. Not to mention I’ve personally been busy with a lot of different activities and trips into Manhattan.

The Crochet Diaries June 2022

Published on by RJ1 Comment

It’s been quite a crafty month for me. Though I did do some baking in June, I’d have to say that I think I made the most progress on my crochet projects. I’ve also started a new one that is working up much quicker than I expected.

Crochet Diary – Sophie’s Universe Announcement

Published on by RJ4 Comments

In addition to baking, cooking, and learning about herbs, I have another hobby that I do quite often. But it isn’t really one that I talk about too much. I love to crochet! I typically enjoy making blankets and scarfs over hats and other clothing items, but I’ve been crocheting for years.
