Journaling is hugely popular now both for self-reflection and personal growth.
⠀
It can also be used for your crochet notebook to capture ideas for patterns, yarns and projects that you may decide to create later.
⠀
In this video, (link in bio) I'm going to share with you how to make a Classic Crochet Journal Cover with an easy two-round granny square.
⠀
The journals I like are the Leuchtturm1917 and the Moleskin A5 journals.
⠀
They are around 5" by 8" or 14cm by 21cm.
⠀
This is an intermediate crochet project using a 5mm hook and number [4] weight yarn and Loops and Threads “Impeccable” yarn. You will need one ball in colors white and smoke (blue/grey).
⠀
The complimentary PDF pattern will be available for our “In The Loop” Email subscribers soon, and for everyone else, from our website shortly.

My filet crochet tea towel is now complete and I just need to steam block it later this week.
⠀
I made my tea towel with Caron Cotton Cake yarn, but you can use any mid-weight [3] yarn, and 3.5mm hook.
⠀
I haven’t used a hook finer than 5mm for over ten years as it is hard on your hand and eyes, but this project went ok with a hook handle that was a little fatter than usual.
⠀
This complimentary pattern will be available to all you fabulous people on my mailing list shortly, and for everyone else, on my website after that.
⠀
Question
What is the finest hook size that you can comfortably work with?

I’ve been meaning to buy tea towels for long time and can’t seem to find ones that I like. Then I thought, hang on, I can crochet them.
⠀
So here’s where I am so far. I had to frog the “A” to get the top arch right.
⠀
I’ll keep you posted.
⠀
Question of the day:
Do you make your own kitchen cloths like dish cloths and tea towels?

The two-row alternating Granny square.

I love this simple pattern and always change the direction of each round to help keep the squares, well, square.

Do you alternate your Grannys or just go straight?

I am a huge fan of “no sew” crochet.
⠀
I like to design items where there is no sewing up required.
⠀
I want to share with you how I love to start working a spiral on a poncho.
⠀
Foundation Row: Chain-less double crochet, join with slip stitch to form ring for neck.
⠀
2nd row: 3sc in 1st st, skip 3, ch1, 3hdc in next st, skip 3, ch1, *3dc in next st, ch1*, repeat from * to * to corner.

QUESTION
What questions do you have for crocheting in a spiral?

If you’ve always wanted a great crochet design on your coffee mug... The Never Ending Granny.
⠀
One way to avoid the awkward colour change in long-change variegated yarns when you start a new round in a basic granny square, is to work the Never Ending Granny.
⠀
Make the first round as normal. Then on row 2 the magic happens.
⠀
Foundation circle: ch5, join with sl st to form ring.
⠀
Row 1: Ch3 (as 1st dc), 2dc, ch3, 3dc, ch1, *3dc, ch3, 3dc, ch1* into circle, rep from * to * twice more, join with a sl st into the top of the 1st ch3.
⠀
Row 2: Ch3 (as 1st dc), 2dc into same corner gap, ch 1, * 3dc, ch3, 3dc into next corner gap, ch1, * repeat twice more into next 2 corner gaps, 3dc into 4th corner gap, ch1, [NOW MAKE YOUR NEVER ENDING MOVE] 3dc, ch1, 3dc into the top chain of the first 3ch of row2. Continue pattern.
⠀
Now you will continue to work in a spiral round and round with no row starts and ends. ⠀
Finish your Never Ending Granny when the 3dc (shell) count along each side is the same on every side. End at a corner.
⠀
This is easy crochet to work in front of the TV as you don’t have to think.
⠀
A large Granny like one, this can be used for blankets, or for a poncho with four large squares or other fun items.
⠀
This is a fabulous way to use long-change variegated yarns like Boutique Unforgettables.
⠀
Will you try the Never Ending Granny on your next large granny square project?
⠀
Tag your photos @OldEnglishCreations so we can see your masterpieces.

I love a long-change variegated yarn. Not one that changes colour every six inches in a predictable way like self-striping yarns, but one that slowly morphs into another shade and hue at varying lengths, and with an unpredictable pattern to the colour changes.

As a crocheter, what do you think?
