Granny C2C Afghan



I'm working on this now. This is a good pattern. I got the idea from Zooty Owl's granny c2c cowl pattern; click here for the pattern. I did modify it slightly; Zooty Owl didn't work a ch 1 in between each of the 3 dc clusters, but I did. So far, I like this pattern and it should prove to make a great afghan!

EDIT: I noticed that Clare at Bobwilson123 also has a video on this same pattern! Here's the video:

Apache Tears Blanket

OK so it's my first time really going all out with this pattern, and I'm uncertain how I feel about it. 

I'm doing this in groups of 4, and changing color every 2 rows. But I think my tension is off. I think it's too tight, because it's curling a bit much. Not sure if that will eventually get worked out or what.

But here's my progress so far:




I suppose I should keep going...

I Wish...

...there was a way I could do cottage industry and earn enough extra money at it to offset the costs of living so far from my job.

My crochet...

My jewelry...

And candles...

Or candles like these...these are not originals that I did, but I can do this...

In the long term, I want to purchase and refinish and resell furniture like this...and once we move into this house I'll have the room to do it...this is not an original; I got this from another site, to show as an example of what I have in mind...this would look so sweet in a little girl's bedroom...

I would love to do all this at home and earn money at it. I am not sure how I can do that and earn enough money to put some bucks back, possibly for a new car in a couple of years, gas back and forth to worth, etc...

Competition on Etsy is very, very stiff. I'd have to just create, somehow, a business of my own and get the word out there some other way...must do research....

Gray Scarf


I think I like this simple pattern. Worked it up kinda by accident.
