Chevron Rug

I'm trying my hand at a crocheted chevron rug like the pic above but in purple shades.

Wish me luck!!

The pattern can be found in Patons Book 1257 

New Project

I'm crocheting a string shopping bag. Thinking that it might be a small version but I suppose it depends on the stretch of it.

The pattern comes from

Its a great book with stitch instructions as well as some patterns.

Dish Cloths - Part 2

Okay, with a little more research, I'm fairly confident on how to do the original pattern I found. I was a bit confused with the YO direction in the pattern. I had to look up exactly what that meant.

My one I'm doing now won't have the fancy edge unless I crochet one after I'm finished (which I will probably do) but it will look pretty none-the-less due to the varigated cotton I'm using.

Don't you enjoy knowing that I knit?

Go on, sure you do hahahahahaha
