Yes, I am launching another new pattern. I know, two patterns in one week?! Exciting!! Anyway, the pattern is called Sir Gawain after the hero of the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. I've actually been working on this pattern since about October, but it takes me a while to make a 7 foot …

I love this pattern, it's very well written out, works up quickly and turns out super cute! I've actually made this pattern three times...yes, three. I obviously like this pattern a lot. The version above …
Let's talk about some awesome math-based geeky crochet for a minute. If you're like me-- and it's possible, you might be-- you probably get easily confused and give up on math. Normally it comes out something to the effect of "Math? Oh, I hate math. I'm just no good at it." Well, now of course, …
