My Crochet Lampshade - 2015 Project

It's been a while since I've wrote to you and I have a lot of things to tell you, but first things first my crochet lampshade. Last year I was assigned a major work (by mum) to crochet a lampshade but not just a basic lampshade, a lampshade made of crochet bits and bobs stitched together -I can't explain it any other way.

At the start of the year mum asked me to make and finish a lampshade by the end of term 2. That didn't happen and I actually (completely) finished it in the first week of January (2016). There are many reasons why I didn't finish it earlier; I'm lazy, I didn't know what I wanted to do, how I wanted it to look or how I was going to do it. Even though I finished it way way way too late I still absolutely love it!

My Experience Crocheting a Blanket

Hey Everyone!
In my last post I talked about making a youtube video, and today I want to show it to you! I am a bit awkward in it but what can you expect I am a blogger not a YouTuber :D Well Here it goes:

How to Teach Someone to Crochet

Every time my mum saw something crocheted she said 'Look Ruby you could do that', but my imaginary to-crochet list was already too full from my ideas (that still don't get done). So 2 years ago I tried to teach mum to crochet and that didn't work out to well, so in this post I have explained what actually happened and have put together some tips for teaching someone to crochet so you don't scare them away for crocheting like I did.

Why did I crochet a cushion?

You may or may not know that about a year (or so) ago I crocheted a blooming flower cushion, it was the main reason I learn't to crochet, but I never really talked about it here. I mentioned finishing it in a craft post and didn't much about it so today I want to tell you why I made it, how I found out about it and if I will ever do it again.

My Thoughts on Crocheting a Blanket

Recently I went crazy and thought I would crochet a blanket..
After volunteering at a local aged care Knitting group where half the ladies knitted and the others crocheted (mainly blankets), I really wanted to make a blanket for my room. I remembered seeing a tutorial on a granny stripe blanket by Attic 24 and envisaged it laying on my bed. Today I thought I would tell you my thoughts on crocheting this blanket.
