Crocodile Stitch Crochet! Video tutorial, photo tutorial and 10 free patterns!
I desperately want to be good at crocodile stitch. I need to be good at the basics first. I haven’t even attempted crochet in months.
Via days of yarning
It has been a making kind of day.
I started with dinner. Hubby is sick so I ransacked the freezers and made chicken and ground beef soup with green chilies.
Then I started some applesauce bread (which is the only thing not finished).
Next was huckleberry banana bread. I just had a piece and it is sooooooo gooooood!
Then I made me first batch of corn tortillas. Then I turned them into tortilla chip strips for the soup.
Then I made lunch. ;-)
Then I made buttermilk biscuits.
Now I’m getting ready to watch Top Gear and knit (and possibly eat more huckleberry banana bread).
It has been a great Monday.
So, this charity takes things knit or crocheted for people and sells them to raise money for pet charities. Also cool.
If you follow my personal blog, you will probably know that pet issues like abuse, neglect, overpopulation, euthanasia, etc. are things that I take very seriously and care very deeply about. So I was excited to find this charity.
I have to say there “if you ever make a blanket for a shelter animal you must credit us because we were the first ones to ever come up with the idea” stance was kind of off putting. I know of several other charities that have been around a very long time that make blankets for shelter animals, so I kinda doubt that they were the first ones to think of it, but the idea is still good and they seem very organized and streamlined.
I’ll never understand why gamers get so mad when they play video games. How can you get mad while enjoying your favorite pastime? It would be like a knitter raging at their knits.
FUCKING SWEATER, FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING CUNT! YOU LOOKED BETTER AS A BALL OF YARN! I BET YOUR DAD…
I have definitely been mad at my knitting before…
How I wish I had the time or patience to learn to crochet. I would be willing to trade a hand knit item or some Handspun if someone were willing to make the 1st or 3rd down for me :)CROCHET PATTERNS for handmade dolls by lalylala in Munich, Germany.
These are absolutely cute. Add them to the “someday” list.

I wish my work day was more like this. Unfortunately, that would require me to have some sort of skill, or you know, know how to ride a dirt bike.
;-; cant believe its a free pattern
Oh My Vishnu!!!!!!
I seriously need to get serious about my crocheting.
These Addi Turbos (circular knitting needles) are on display at Paradise Fibers located in Spokane, Washington! They were custom built for Paradise Fibers by metal artist Tim Biggs to Addi specifications all the way down to the nickel-plated tips. They are Size 150, 7 feet tall, and weigh 56 pounds. I’m curious what diameter those needles actually are!
According to the Guinness World Book of Records, the largest knitting needles in the world are from the U.K.. They measure 3.5m long and have a diameter of 8 cm. That’s about 12ft tall and 3.15 in. in diameter. On March 10, 2008, Ingrid Wagner used the needles to knit a 10 sts x 10 row tension square at the Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
I love Paradise Fibers. The store is just mind-blowingly awesome. Since we only get to Spokane once a year or every other year, I have to content myself with the online store most of the time…

About me
I wanted a place to post my projects and inspirations. This is it. I'm primarily a knitter and baker, but I also spin, dye, craft, and cook. Find me on Ravelry as scitchet.
