Spent Easter weekend in Koln (Cologne) they’re starting to power wash the cathedral.5yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/powerwashingporn
My new obsession two different color cakes, alternating every two rows. (Two rows so they both end on the same side, not cutting the yarn I’m carrying the tails up and will single crochet over when done. No weaving!!)6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
Pottery yarn bowl my sister gave me for Christmas. Made locally by a potter in our hometown. It’s much bigger in real life than it looks in this photo. Sharpie for reference.5yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
In honor of nurse’s week: my mom circa 1958, the reason I became a nurse, too.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/OldSchoolCool
Following a pattern from repeatcrafterme with a few tweaks on the color. Can’t decide to stop now or repeat the whole color block one more time. Each row is tied off - lots of weaving.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
As promised I got my “Little Box of Crochet” today from the UK. It’s very little, but I love tiny things. A gift from my sister, it’s a subscription but I’m not sure for how long. I’m over the top excited.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
My 3rd “Little Box of Crochet” it’s the highlight of my month. This one came on a particularly bad day. They are so fun!5yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
FO finally! Stripes are subtle IRL, camera makes them look harsh. The most intense game of center pull yarn ever & a cat that sits on everything. Top is a little wonky I think I added too many boarder stitches.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
Not sure if this sub is an enabler or a partner in crime. This is my downstairs stash (upstairs stash is about the same) Tucked this in the ottoman - no one has discovered it yet. Time to start a scrap project!6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
Continuing with my current obsession. Three cakes using Lucy’s Attic 24 “Cosy Blanket” pattern instead of the 15 colors the pattern calls for. Carrying the yarn so I’ll only weave 6 ends total!!6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
Graduation gift for my son’s gf. It’s been done for a while, but I wrapped it before taking pics. She opened it today and loves it (whew!) she’s going to decorate her dorm in this shabby chic pink. Win for mother of the bf. super fast to make, ~8-10hr to make, will def do again!6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet

Baby blanket I made from a ralvery pattern. Worked up quick, only single, half double & double crochet. Caron Cake in Nightberry “I” hook. There’s a picot boarder that is hard to see. (Sorry for the weird/bad pic my camera is broken)6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet

2nd WIP a high school graduation gift for my son’s girlfriend (at her request.) I make College color blankets for grads - she opted for pink and cream instead of white and navy (I’m ok with it, it would have been the 3rd PSU blanket in 3 years!)6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
I made this blanket for my son in his University colors. My aunt taught me this pattern when I was 12. Does anyone know the pattern name or have you ever seen this before? I’ve probably made a dozen or more blankets because it is easy and versatile with color combos.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
Beach Cover Up. Finished yesterday, leaving for beach at 1am to avoid driving in the heat. It looks much better on and the diamond stitch mesh makes it hang funny in the pic/on the hanger.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
I was gifted this yarn. Any pattern suggestions? I like to make baby blankets for a charity. It is 4 shades of purple and light silver gray. TIA5yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet

Just a neighbor, I don’t even know her, supported her kid’s baseball fundraiser and got this! Not sure where my response went, but I responded to the 1st that I work FT, have no $ w/2 kids in college and I provide respite care for a sick relative. She didn’t stop, I ignored the second.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/antiMLM
I saw this suggested, but never in a pic. I had a hard time finding “J” in the bag - only two I found were backwards 😂 Dollar Tree Made in China, but that’s ok- they are still 100% better than my Chinese character abilities.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
....Suggestions for a light open stitch pattern to make a summery wrap out of this cotton yarn (1200 yards) I’ve looked all over and have fatigue/confidence issues about everything I see.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/crochet
Central PA, USA. Babies hatched about 3 wks who. I checked today they are still alive & size of 4 point type. Why aren’t they growing? Also this weird tick thing is eating Mom right now, and she’s been dead since they hatched weeks ago. ELI5 what’s going on?6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/spiders
Central PA - in process of building a massive web - about 18 inches across, s/he is just about done. Spider could easily fit on a quarter legs and all. I almost ran right into it, I’m excited to watch him over the next few days.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/spiders
Is my doing laundry disturbing you? You got 8 “arms” buddy start folding! Seriously tho, what are they? I know they’re good hunters because we have very few other bugs. I also notice a pop decrease in million-leggers when I see an increase in these guys.6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/spiders
Expert opinion: What color/shade would you recommend to dye over cream/butter colored yarn? Bottom pic is more accurate. I have 21 skeins, so I’m willing to experiment. I’m thinking cool tones are out but not sure. Any & all advice appreciated. You all are amazing!6yr ⋅ jmad888 ⋅ r/dyeing
