Random Rows Sedge Stitch Blanket

If you watch any crochet videos on TikTok or any social media really, you have probably seen people making Chaos Blankets. They have gone viral and now everyone is making them. The idea is that you randomly choose a stitch, color, and number of rows and you end up with a blanket full of different colors, textures, and sizes of stripes. Some people draw slips of paper, some roll dice, some use online spinners, and others use a combination of those, but however you are doing it you are letting the "luck of draw" choose how your blanket turns out.

My kids started school this week and there is something about kids going back to school that makes me so ready for fall. I don't love the summer, or more specifically I don't love the heat, so I am ready for cooler temperatures and one of my favorite cooler weather things to make is hats.

It has been a while since I have shared a dishcloth or washcloth on here, but they are one of my favorite crochet projects to make, especially when I either just want a quick project to make, or when I want to try out a new stitch. This particular washcloth pattern hit both of those reasons. I actually made it a few moths ago and I am just finally getting around to actually posting it.

It is the 1st of another month, which means time for another Bear of the Month. For August I have chosen to make a Back to School Bear. I know there is some variation in when kids go back to school across the United States, not to mention in other countries, but my kids head back this month and from what I have seen August seems to be the most common month for kids across the country.

I have wanted to make a little pioneer girl doll for a long time. I have a little Anne of Green Gables doll that I made several years ago because I love the Anne books when I was a kid. Another favorite series of mine was Little House on the Prairie so after making the Anne doll I considered making a Laura doll as well. Today seemed like it was the right day to finally make a little pioneer girl doll for a couple of reasons.

I have always loved playing with colors and pairing different colors together in a project. When I was in college I worked at a quilt shop and one of my favorite things was helping people pull fabrics for quilts or other projects they were making. I just think it is so fun to pair different colors to see how they work together, and create with them. It doesn't matter if it is fabric, yarn, paint, or any other craft medium, playing with colors has always been something I love about creating projects.
