It's been awhile since I finished one. This one in a V stitch. Three colors means the color you need is waiting for you at the end of the row so you can just carry them up the sides...the border covers the carrys.

Comments (47)I'm hurrying as fast as i can! Not quite half way through - Nynaeve has just gotten Lan's bond from Myrelle. As i read, i'm finding that there are parts of it that i barely remember, almost as if i hadn't read it. Weird. And other parts i remember well. And i've been going to the computer more and more for theories and speculations - names on the Black Ajah list, where the darkfriends are, is Verin Black Ajah? We now know she is, but in the thread i read, everyone said she couldn't be! This was from a few years ago, though. Anyway, enough posting and more reading!...See Morebest space saving project?
Comments (12)Our new stainless kitchen sink has a back drain, and it is installed in a 24" cabinet with a full height door attached to a 6" deep drawer with a half moon routed out in the back to accommodate the plumbing and disposal. In this cabinet drawer, I can fit a large trash can, instant hot tank, kitchen cleaning supplies, and empty milk cartons used for green trash. Because it is a drawer, access is easy. Back drains are fabulous! They don't drain quite as well as centered ones, but our pull-out faucet pushes debris along. An over the refrigerator cabinet that is 24" deep is great for storing trays, cut boards, cookie sheets, etc. with room for shelves above. The old 12" deep one was impossible to access even with a stool. Setting shelves close together with minimal head space enables one to store a lot more very cheaply. I found I could add an extra shelf or even two to practically all my upper shelves or tall cabinets. I also hung a deepish cabinet above a door to store party and picnic goods. I can only access it using a stool, but previously those items were stored in various places and I would lose track of the inventory so I would have no plates, no birthday candles, too many large paper cups, and no napkins. Now, I know where to look....See MoreProject Linus #9 complete
Comments (68)Oh Annie! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! ! ! ! You've definitely gone above and beyond the call of duty! I, too, want to learn this stitch, but haven't tried it yet. The instructions and pictures here will help so much! ! I have no idea what I want to make with it yet, but I'll come up with something! My crochet 'skills' aren't good at all anymore, it's been probably 20, maybe more, years since I've done much of it. With the exception of a toddler blanket I made for my newest great granddaughter 2 years ago. I found out real quick on that project just how 'rusty' I am! ! ! Anyhow, there was no Internet available back when I was doing so much crochet, one had to rely on books and magazines to learn new techniques. So I'm finding so many new (to me) stitches, patterns, yarns, etc, it's very exciting. I want to try them all! Unfortunately, I now rely a lot on closed captioning when watching TV, so my crochet time is cut quite short. Thanks again! Rusty...See MoreProject Linus #10 complete
Comments (23)I'm half done with my 6th blanket (Project Linus) plus random baby hats for local hospital and scarves for women's abuse shelter. My stash may not go down for awhile - a friend and I visited some AC Moore stores in the waning days of their closing sale and came away with many bags of yarn for minimal prices....See More

Put a wider border around the sides to make the green (I ran out) change more “planned looking” 😂 Will be donating it to my charity group, this year’s efforts are being divided between Nepal, Ukraine and Melbourne (Australia)’s homeless. The local charities prefer acrylic for washability but as refugee camps tend to have open fires and limited washing facilities, we only send wool garments for safety.Annie Deighnaugh
