Site Information

What is it? A site for sharing crochet information, patterns, completed projects, links, etc.

The idea for this site all started with the Facebook Temperature Yarn-Along Group. I became obsessed with mixing my regular job as an elementary science teacher with a craft that I also love, crochet. The opportunity to mix it up became an obsession. I wanted to open this page in order for people who have made or are making temperature blankets to share their projects, but also do it in a way where we can compare location, scales, yarn choices, and more. I also decided to include information on exactly what IS a temperature blanket and how to make one here as well.

While I was at it, I also decided to include submissions of other projects.

And then came my other obsession – color! Now, I have LOVED color since childhood. I was always drawing, but I had a thing for color organization. This lead me to have rainbow wallpaper when I was a teenager. Now, as a teacher, I have everything coordinated in my classroom using colors. With that obsession, also comes the creation of color palettes, specifically from nature images, and choosing yarns that go with that palette. I will say up front that I am a cool-color person and I do gravitate toward those, more so than the warm or earth-toned colors. So, when left to my own, I will most likely choose palettes or images that appeal to me. That being the case, I have opened up the submissions to include photos for creating a color palette.

Please check out the menu both above, and the categories to the left as I add more content. Don’t forget to check out the links page as well, and don’t be shy about making a suggestion. I may be setting up a membership area…but have tried that before. We will see.

All posts are available on the News page, but are also categorized based on their content.

Thanks for visiting!
