Outlander CAL – Brianna
Thanks to insomnia and hurting my back, I’ve been able to finish the next square faster than I anticipated. Being unable to do much but sit or lie down for the last 36 or so hours has been good for my crocheting, at least. And for once, my arthritis wasn’t playing up, so my hands […]
Outlander CAL – The Fraser Stag
One thing I like about the C2C stitch is the ability to fix some mistakes without having to frog it. I’ve been extra tired this week, so I noticed three blocks were the wrong colour (yay for not paying attention :P) and had the choice of frogging it all the way back or trying to […]
Outlander CAL – Jamie
It was another long weekend here, so I was able to get Jamie done. I was trying to get a plaid feel to his kilt, so I used a variegated yarn. I did try a few different ones, but given the nature of the C2C stitch, I’m not sure I’d get a ‘true’ plaid feel. […]
Outlander CAL – the standing stones
Between going away last weekend for my daughter’s birthday (she’s now 9), and my arthritis being more of a literal pain this week than normal, this square took me longer than I’d planned. I did get about half of it done while we were away (the train ride there and watching tv at night were […]
Outlander CAL – Claire
Last week’s episode (Not in Scotland Anymore) was more of a slow burn than action packed, but it was still damn good. I was thrilled to see that the two dresses (Claire’s red dress and the Swan dress– NSFW) were shown true to the books. They were both such big statements in the book, so I […]
Behind the scenes
I wanted to share a couple of photos of what goes on before and during the making of each panel. I’m not sure how other people work their patterns out, but mine goes a little something like this: I make the graph up in Excel, print it, and figure out each row using a […]
Outlander CAL – Claire’s rings
I chose Claire’s wedding rings for my next panel because of their importance to her and how frequently they’re mentioned throughout the series. Gold from Frank, silver from Jamie. I placed them like this because Frank’s ring is from her past, and Jamie’s is from her present and future. Plus, she wore Frank’s on her left […]
Outlander CAL – square one
I don’t know about you, but I am thrilled that Outlander is back for season 2. I’ve been rereading the books (currently halfway through book 4, Drums of Autumn, by Diana Gabaldon) to refresh my memory, so I’m eagerly awaiting what unfolds this season. I decided to start this blanket with one of Jamie’s pet […]
The return of Outlander
I love Outlander – both the book series by Diana Gabaldon, and the TV version of it. Season 2 starts up this weekend and I cannot wait. Inspired by my love of the characters and story, I decided to try my hand at designing my own C2C panel blanket. I’ve made my first panel and am […]
Doctor Who CAL – finished!
In January I started the Doctor Who crochet along by Two Hearts Crochet. I finished it today and I’m really pleased with the results. Arthritis has worsened in my fingers recently, making crocheting a bit harder (and painful), otherwise I’d have finished it earlier. I’m already planning on doing her Harry Potter CAL as well as her […]
