I love snow, but living in SC for the past 14 years, I rarely see any. So I decided to design a pillow help me get over the nostalgia of a beautiful snowy landscape.
I made this pillow using Tunisian crochet as the background cloth and then using a silvery sparkly thread to cross stitch a snowflake onto it. If you're familiar with Tunisian crochet, the pattern is very easy.
Chain 55, then 44 rows of Tunisian crochet followed by 4 rounds of border made up of single crochet to create an approximately 18" x 18" pillow.
If you're unfamiliar with Tunisian crochet, check out the video below:

Once you've finished your Tunsian crochet, then follow the chart below to create the snowflake. There will be a video coming soon to show the technique of cross stitching on Tunisian:

This pattern will be available soon in my Etsy store and Craftsy store. I used Red Heart Classic yarn. Skill level would be advanced intermediate. I used yarn bobbins on "islands" of color which may take more time for the setup but worth it for minimizing the messiness on the wrong side. Instead of SHILOH, the text on the pattern will say, BEST FRIEND. This afghan will make a great gift for dog lovers everywhere.<br>

Let's get started:
Remember from here on out, you are working in the back look of your work. This is what causes the textured ridges.
Row 2: Insert hook in first sc, pull up loop on hook, insert hook in next sc, pull up loop on hook (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops, (2sctog has been made causing a decrease). *Sc in next 3 sc, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc, skip next 2 sc*. Repeat from * to * until last 5 sc. Sc in next 3 sc, perform 2sctog in last 2 sc. Ch 1 turn. Row 2 is completed. Now your work should look like this.

Here is day 1 to learning this awesome stitch. Now I stumbled upon this beautiful stitch on Facebook when it was posted by Edinir Aparacido Bento. It came complete with this easy to use chart! Right? Wrong! This chart is almost impossible to follow if you want to learn this stitch, so I decided to share with you what I did in a four-day tutorial.
Day 1, Row 1: Chain 32. Beginning with second ch from hook, sc in the next 4 ch, 3 sc in the next ch, *sc in the next 4 ch, skip 2 ch, sc in the next 4 chk, 3 sc in next ch*. Repeat from * to * until last 4 ch. Sc in last 4 ch, ch 1 turn.
Your work should look like this.

Good work! See you tomorrow for day 2 lesson 2!Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05387564832698881714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040345283063229188.post-39590686774159684362014-07-02T02:32:00.000-07:002014-07-02T02:32:23.680-07:00Copyright InfringementWhat do you about that? A Chinese company purchased 1 of my bonnets a while back, decided to mass produce the bonnets, but stole the image that I use for my online store to display what the bonnet looks like. The pattern is not mine, but the image of the bonnet is. I tried reporting it to the online store that the company is using, but for some reason, my complaint won't go through (hmmm go figure). Does anyone know what I should do about this?
I want to thank one of my loyal customers for bringing this to my attention.

I often get requests for preemie sizes and hear a lot of concerns about the difficulty in finding preemie clothes. Take a look at the pictures of the bonnets and booties. The largest bonnet and booties are for full-term babies. The middle bonnet and booties are for smaller, lower weight babies with head circumference up to approximately 11 inches and foot length up to approximately 2-1/2 inches. The smallest bonnet and booties are for preemies with head circumference up to 9 inches and foot length up to 1-3/4 inches.
They're offered in a variety of standard colors and of course, custom colors are encouraged. I will be experimenting with new designs in bonnets, booties, dresses and rompers. Thank you all for stopping by.

It is often said that crocheted dishcloths are unsurpassed in their abilities to get the cleaning job done, but they can be a bit pricey. If you've wanted to invest in some of your own, but shied away from the price, here's a chance to win the set shown here. Go to http://www.facebook.com/GloriousCrochet for details.

I sure had a lot of fun creating this dress. It is so colorful and full of life, just like the lucky little girl who will receive it! This dress will be available for sale in my Etsy store within a week so please visit Glorious Crochet on Etsy, if you're interested or just shoot me an email.

They're so warm and and comforting to me. I became a little curious about what these colors would like when crocheted together in a beautiful pattern. This was the result. Please keep in mind, the yellow appears much paler than it really is:

Not bad, I thought. Could make a nice autumn bedspread or a beautiful table runner, so I began to place the blocks together.

Then, I thought, a table runner or a bedspread would be too boring, so I decided to do something a little more daring. Do you know what that is? I'm not even going to give you a hint. You're going to have to wait for the finished product so stay tuned!!!Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05387564832698881714noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040345283063229188.post-73816149798370972642012-09-18T06:18:00.001-07:002012-09-25T08:09:03.514-07:00Is it Autumn Already?Autumn is by far my most favorite season of the year. It's colorful and it leads into my 2 favorite holidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas! Autumn is also inspiring as far as crochet design. I'm working on a shabby/cottage chic dress popping with fall colors. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the skirt of the dress solid or ombre, sigh. Decisions, decisions. I'll be posting pics soon of my progress but meanwhile, enjoy the cute hat that I just posted to my Etsy store: Glorious Crochet Design
