Pattern Recommendation: 29 Stitches Dishcloth

I love the availability of free crochet patterns online. Between Ravelry, Crochet Pattern Central, and others, there are SCORES of patterns out there for nearly everything you'd ever wish to make.

As such, I've accumulated several patterns over the years that are favorites, that I make time and time again.

I thought it might be fun to highlight a few here from time to time.

First up is the 29 Stitches Dishcloth pattern, by Heather over at The Good Life.

I found this pattern on Crochet Pattern Central, I believe. (I think it's also on Ravelry, but I'm not sure.)

It's quickly become my favorite pattern for dishcloths, though I do veer from the actual pattern a bit.

Rather than the H hook, I use an I, which makes the cloth bigger (I do this to allow for shrinkage, as cotton draws up SO much after being washed). Also, I do a simple half double border, as I simply couldn't be bothered to figure out the reverse single crochet.

Anyway, it works up beautifully, and I would highly recommend it!

Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern

(Check out this handy dandy Pinterest ready graphic I made!) In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, one of the dwarves (Bofur) wore this really, really awesome hat. I fell in love with it, and decided to see if I could crochet my own version of it. Well, first I scoured the internet, hoping for a pattern, and when I didn't find one THEN I decided to make my own. And since I know there are others out there who would love to have this pattern, I'm posting it here! PLEASE NOTE: You may make items and sell them using this pattern, but PLEASE link back to the pattern and credit me as the source.

Spidey Warmers

At long last, here is the pattern for the Spidey Warmers! I ended up not being able to get them to the boys til last week-ish, and I had to get their sister to take photos for me to post here. So thanks Jaimie!! Aren't they adorable? As you can see, I made two sets in different colors for them, but the pattern is for the red with blue trim. To make the others, just swap out the colors. Easy as pie! First off: much thanks and credit to the creativeyarn blog, as I used her free pattern as a basis for mine. Thank you!!!!!

An Honorary Reporter & Member of the K-Influencer Academy for 2021!

Shortly after my last post, I realized I may have gotten ahead of myself a little bit. Oops. My last post, if you recall, was the very first article I had written and submitted as an Honorary Reporter for Korea.net. But I completely forgot to mention that I had been accepted as an Honorary Reporter, much less explain any of it. So that’s what I’m doing now! I found out about the Honorary Reporter program earlier in the year through a Facebook group for the K-Friends program I joined last year. After doing some research into it, I applied for the program back in March, and found out I had been accepted in April. Also around the same time, I applied to be part of the 2021 K-Influencer Academy, another program offered by Korea.net, and found out I had been accepted into that as well! But what does all of this mean ? The Honorary Reporters, to quote this article from Korea.net : “consist of foreign nationals both in and out of Korea w...
