Shannon's Stitches
Just a little pattern that I came up with this afternoon. Super simple and basic, yet really useful. These can be used as washcloths or dish scrubbers, and I’m sure that they can be used in more ways than just that. A list of abbreviations is available on my page. Read on to see the full pattern!

“Introducing the White Potted Collection of Knitted Cacti. If you don’t have a magic green thumb, or prefer to dust rather than water your plants then these woolly varieties are perfect for you! Each plant is hand crafted from woollen materials, featuring a combination of handknitting & embroidery. Presented in a white ceramic pot with real stones & not so spikey spikes, they are just like the real thing! Available in small, medium or large in an ever evolving range of designs.”
I love this! They’re cute!
How To Carve a Crochet Hook:
“In order to crochet, you’ll need a proper crochet hook. If you’re more of the do-it-yourself type of person, or can’t find the hook size you need in your local shop, it’s easy enough to carve your own. Your own hand-carved hooks may become some of your favorites, even if you also have purchased hooks on hand.”

Day 1: What was your first finished project?
I started crocheting when I was (I think) about 7. I wanted to make my mom a hat for Christmas, but I couldn’t read patterns and I had no clue what I was doing. Then I ran out of yarn, so I bought a completely different color than I had been using. It was oddly shaped, and looked sort of like a purse, so I made a super long chain for a strap and sewed it on.
She never used it.
(Chain a multiple of 4 sts + 3)Row 1 1 Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn. Row 2 Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), *skip next sc, 1 dc in next 3 sc, yo, with hook in front of work, go back and insert hook from front to back into skipped st before the 3-dc group; loosely draw through a lp and bring it up to the height of the 3-dc group; yo and complete dc (Cable st ); rep from * across, end dc in last st. Turn. Row 3 Ch 1, 1 sc in each dc across. Turn.
Rep rows 2 and 3.
