Aaaah! Yay! Just found another artist that makes me heart sing colours. I first saw her art on Pinterest and that is why I love Pinterest so much!
Note: I have just included a screenshot from a Google search for Janet O’Neal.

z. Blanket Sizes Info
Quick and Easy Blanket Sizes Guide
This is just a quick, rough guide for blanket sizes. There does not seem to be definitive sizes. I got tired of trying to determine an approximate size each time I wanted to make a blanket. So I am putting this here for quick easy reference.
This blanket sizes chart is from Good Knit Kisses.

z. C2C – No-Hole or Linked C2C Crochet. Holeless Corner to Corner Crochet; How To
Linked C2C (LC2C) crochet? What is it?
I talked about the Basic and most common form of C2C crochet before. But my preferred C2C crochet is this Linked C2C crochet, which I also sometimes refer to as No-Hole C2C. I have currently not as yet come across anyone doing this so this term “Linked C2C (LC2C)” or “No-Hole C2C” are my own labels to indicate:
- LC2C is made of linked stitches (LDC – Linked Double Crochet. That is a standard and pre-existing crochet terminology) and..
- that with this method, there are no pesky holes in the final fabric
Linked C2C crochet vs basic (holey) C2C
Linked C2C is my preferred C2C because I end up with a crochet fabric that is not full of holes. The normal basic C2C crochet is lovely but I find, too holey. And for winter blankets when you need all the protection you can get from the cold, to have your toes poking through into the chilly air is no fun at all.
Here is another look at the results. The first 2 photos shows one of my earlier blankets, made using the standard C2C (corner to corner) stitch. The next 2 photos shows my later work (Artist Trio Lap Blanket) after I worked out the Linked C2C (or NoHole C2C) stitch.

I have various examples of beading circles and rings. Here I am trying to pull many samples together which will make it easier to reference them in future.

Z.Sumptuous Beaded Earrings (CH0538) – How To
In my Beading Circles Round Metal Rings, I started a compilation of varied samples that resulted from a tutorial on how to bead in circles around metal rings. (Original Tutorial: YouTube C y L Accessories, Tutorial Aretes de aros decorados con cristales y mostacillas.)
This is my photo tutorial (which is often easier and quicker referencing that videos when you only want a refresher) based on those same principles. Specifically for how to make this pair of earrings.
