The 2020 Temperature Blanket
Congratulations! If you are reading this, you have survived the year 2020. This new year is especially exciting as it means I have completed my first ever crochet temperature blanket. It was last New Years that I heard about temperature blankets and was so inspired to start one immediately for what felt like would be an iconic year. There are many ways to do a temperature blanket but this is the way I did mine. I picked the daily high temperature because it is a consistent and exact recorded number. I tried at first to do the average temperature, but that...
Lupine Crochet Dress
Happy Summer Everyone! It was a long quarantine but I stayed busy and sane with lots of crochet projects. I had plenty of time and a bunch of half skeins of different purple yarns, which would be great for a patchwork project. I had never made a dress and I thought a patchwork dress would be super cute with a top like the halter tops I have been making. It took a while to finish, as most big projects do but it came out so special I decided to keep it for myself. Right when I finally fished the dress, a...
Crochet Face Mask, Free Pattern
It's been a weird couple of weeks with this pandemic going on. The CDC is now recommending that everyone wears a face mask in public to help minimize the spread of covid-19. As much as I've avoided this band wagon, it suddenly seems like a bad time to waste a skill when I could be helping people. I started making crochet face masks and am offering my pattern for free, written below. You can also follow along on my youtube tutorial: https://youtu.be/DJkhj34LQfw Please note: Wearing a mask will not prevent you from getting the virus, nor it is intended...
The Crochet with illJay YouTube channel
Introducing my latest creative endeavor, the Crochet with illJay Youtube channel! Although I've been brainstorming this project for a while, what better time than now to inspire people to be creative while they are stuck at home. Also, I'm stuck at home and have plenty of time to capture and edit and share with you my first few crochet tutorials. For beginners, visit the tutorial on basic crochet stitches. It starts from the very beginning and takes you through a few common stitches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-lmr0Xbj50&t=2s If you know the basics already, try learning the Granny Square pattern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdju4ShryU4&t=4s After...
Daisy Chain Madness!
I'm loving the daisy chain motif so much I did a few more variations on the original shirt. I choose to model them with bikini as I think most people will wear this way. But to be honest, I'd be naked underneath, peakaboo style at a festival or Burning Man for sure. Super sexy! I did these versions mono chrome because it's just as cute and easier and quick so I can make them for a better price than the poly chrome versions. Both are available in the shop under crochet:)
