Everything you didn’t want to know and more.

Hey Yarnchick, what is your blog about?
Mostly crochet, food, and photography; hence the tagline. Occasionally an amusing story about my life and some gardening too. Oh, and football. I loves me some football.
Why do you write all this stuff for the world to see?
Because I can.
How do you manage to do all this writing and hooky work with a family and a home and a full-time day job?
Ninja skills. Or maybe it’s just the insomnia. And my imaginary friend Belinda who often takes care of my light work. She’s like the laundry fairy and a hitman all rolled in to one. And yes, in my head she is wearing a tutu. It’s pink.
Can you tell me more about the wiley and wacky cast of characters of which you write?
Yes, but it will cost you.
Frankie:: my husband who spent 9 years in the US Marine Corps, a great idea-man and a farmer and who likes to spend his free time with guns and chainsaws and one mean gigantic vegetable garden every summer. I never said he was a mushy teddy bear now did I?
Our teenaged son:: one of the 6 people on this planet that really and truly gets my sense of humor. He can decipher every nuance of crap that spews out of my mouth. Is it nature or nurture? Who knows. Perhaps it’s survival instinct. He is well aware that 98% of what I say is hilarious or at least it’s meant to be side-splittingly hilarious. He understands that life is too short to take the world too seriously. He also thinks I am a complete dork, but I know that he secretly reads my blog. He is the reason I made it through cancer and he is my hero. Oh, and I never print his name because he’s a minor. And that makes it none of your beeswax.
Martha & Tricia:: my fearless friends that let me publish info about them. They get my humor too, and they know I won’t throw the really crazy stuff out there for the world to see. (The rest of my friends are only dealt glancing blows, because I don’t want to infringe upon their privacy…well, not too much anyway.)
Now pay me a quarter and I’ll introduce to to a few more.
Psyche! That’s all you get for now.
I’m keeping the quarter too.

Hi! My sister just asked me to make her a Tiffany Blue blanket and I’m having a heck of a time finding the correct color. I noticed that you had a Tiffany Blue yarn in a post from January 2012. https://yarnchic40.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/crochet-monsters-monsters-everywhere/ Could you give me the brand and name of that yarn? I would appreciate it very much! Thanks!

I am working on a toddler pinafore. You say you “skipped the changes in the main body and went with the same number of stitches for each row”. I believe that’s what the pattern is. Mine ends of being very wide. Do you somehow decrease stitches?
LikeLike
So mine ended up very similar, I did just make the same number of stitches for every round because my little Miss M loves twirly skirts. You could maybe decrease every 5th or so round to straighten out the body?? Not sure, I only made it the one time.
