This method works equally well for all types of ribbing. Simply remember to make a regular yarn over in front of every purl stitch and a reverse yarn over in front of the knits

3rd pic is a crochet yoke top. I made it in 2020 with different fabric for the body. That version was too tight in the hips now, so I added a different body of fabric salvaged from a dress I didn't wear anymore. Yarn is Patons grace, squares are from Doris Chan "Convertible Crochet"

2nd pic is a full circle skirt, made from some slinky fabric that's been in my stash for ages, from JoAnn (RIP 😭). Perfect for waltz and foxtrot!

First pic is a Pendleton skirt, with godets inset at hem. Original design was midi length, chopped off the top and added elastic waist. Perfect for Rumba, ChaCha, and Swing.

Gave my hands a break from knitting and did some sewing instead. One upcycle, one from scratch, and one upcycle of something I originally made from scratch! Deets in replies. #sewing #ballroom

Fit check after 1 ball of the light worsted yarn for stockinette portion - happy with the fit! Debating whether to go
1) peplum in the same crochet stitch as yoke
2) more stockinette + 1 or 2 rows of crochet yoke stitch at hemline
3) more stockinette + 1x1 rib to match neckline

Why had it never occurred to me until now to display my favorite vintage book next to my favorite character that's a bit of a fixer-upper, personality wise 😂 #brandonsanderson #stormlight #cosmere

I am obsessed with the rose bushes at my son's school and I want to dye some yarn using these photos as inspiration!

In this tutorial, we’ll see how we can make ribbing tighter and neater when we knit back and forth and when we work in the round.

Progress on my current WIP #crochet #knit 🧶

Clover Earrings (free pattern) I started making thread crochet earrings, and I wanted to design a lacy motif using the idea of a group of 3 double crochet 3-clusters group...

Top uses motif here: vgranger.blogspot.com/2024/02/clov...

Yarn is Patons Grace in natural.

Made this top over a year ago - I've worn it over dresses but finally got the courage to wear it as an actual crop top, for ballroom dance class 🎶💃 #crochet 🧶 yarn and chart in replies.

I didn't really have a pattern, but here is a chart for the crochet part. The knitted part is just plain stockinette with a few rows of 2x2 rib at the bottom.

We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

It's stitch #70 in the book listed above, the stitch name is "broken shell and fan pattern."

Accidentally left my sweater WIP at my mom's, so I started a new WIP with the yarn I dyed myself. Reminds me of azaleas. Stitch repeat is from "A New Crochet Stitch Dictionary" by Nele Braas and Eveline Hetty-Burkart #crochet 🧶

Sample #3 body is done except for the neck banding. I'm feeling good about the sizing (this sample is a S). I think I'll add button holes on this one! #crochet 🧶

I have not gotten enough crochet done in the last 2 weeks! Tornadoes, allergies, and doctors appointments, oh my! 😵‍💫. One of the reasons was happy, though: meet Rosie, who joined our family on Saturday. She is 5 years old and already fitting right in!

Sample #3 (a size small for my SIL) is underway! #crochet 🧶

Yarns is premier puzzle cotton for the knitted portion and Eddie Bauer adventurer cotton for the crochet yoke. Here is a hastily drawn chart for the yoke stitch repeat:

And she's done! I got pretty comfortable with knit and purl, definitely still have some work to do on fitting (I didn't mean to make it so loose 😆) Also, I think I went with too much of a disparity between yarn weights - a bit lighter for the knitted portion would be better. #crochet #knit 🧶

Oh wow, a shell stitch granny square. This is the first time I'm seeing one of these. If you're curious about how to make one (like I am!) there's a YouTube tutorial here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI4U...
