CC domain name

The charge for the Crochet Cabana domain name is increasing so I’ve decided to let the name go. You can still get to this site by using the full name https://crochetcabanablog.wordpress.com/ for this site and for the blog you can use https://crochetcabana.blogspot.com/ . If you enjoy these sites, please do bookmark them.

Note that someone else may take the domain name so be cautious if you click on a link on an older post.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the site since it began many years ago. I know I’ve slowed down quite a bit since my cancer diagnosis so I do appreciate that you continue to follow me. FYI I’ve completed my radiation therapy and will begin a 5 year hormone treatment plan.

I’m still crocheting but trying to use up my stash so I have been working on scrap projects.

Happy Crocheting!

Changes

I have apparently used almost all the allowed storage space for pictures at WordPress. Since blogger has unlimited storage, I’ll be moving the blog back over there soon. If you followed me before, you may have that site bookmarked. If not, the URL is https://crochetcabana.blogspot.com/ . If I do that, the blog posts I’ve made since I moved to WordPress in 2017 won’t be available on blogger. I don’t think many people look at back blog posts so I don’t think that will be an issue. I may keep them on here as I use them myself sometimes.

I have to admit to owner failure here. I should have been reducing photos instead of posting them directly from the camera or phone. I did go through a bit and delete a few photos but you can’t just delete the photos on the blog, you have to delete them in the media center as well.

All in all, it would be easier for me to just start making new blog posts at blogger. I hope this doesn’t inconvenience you all too much.

As to the website, I am not able to keep up with things as I’d like to and many of the articles have not been updated in a while. Because of that and having to deal with a lot of health issues, I will probably let go of all the pages but the pattern pages. I’ll decide soon and get to it when I am able.

Happy crocheting!

blankets

Many moons ago, after Hurricane Ida hit, I started an afghan for a friend. There were yarn issues and getting deliveries was hard in the following weeks and this got put aside. I found it again and was determined to finish it. Of course, the colors I needed were out of stock, so another delay but it’s finally done. The words use my own alphabet. The yarn is Paintbox Simply Aran in colors 202, 207 and 208. I used an H hook.

Apologies for the terrible photography. I had surgery a few days ago and I’m not at my best.

My friend Fran published a shawl pattern on Ravelry. I decided to make it a small blankie for Project Robby. The yarn is Two Wands Color Theory. The color is Tourmaline.

Happy Crocheting!

Sparkly blanket

Yarn: Lion Brand Mandala Sparkle in color Draco
Hook: G/4.0 Furls Odyssey
Size: 30″
Foundation chain: 118
Pattern: Call the Midwife (I followed Fiber Spider’s version on YouTube)

I haven’t been able to post the picture here so I re-posted on blogger.

Update: I apparently have used all the storage space allowed on WordPress. I deleted some photos on posts where I had more than one picture of a project and got back 6% so here is the photo that goes with this page.

I’m thinking of going back to blogger which has unlimited storage but haven’t made a decision yet.

On a personal note, I have been diagnosed with breast cancer and will be having a lumpectomy May 2 (current schedule). Prayers appreciated.

Happy Crocheting!
