This past week I discovered a neat new crochet method called Wiggly Crochet. It started with this post of a crocheted thrift store hot-pads by Nancy over at Joy For Grace.
Unfortunately Nancy didn’t know much about these hot-pads, other than that they were crocheted. Since I was taken with the design, I studied the pictures and came up with the basics of how they were probably done. I searched around by Googling some of the methodology I’d come up with from the pictures and eventually found that they were made with “Wiggly Crochet.” A little more searching and I found a pair of tutorials by Barbara Langer of Made in K-town

Wiggly Crochet Tutorial: Part 2
This crochet method produces some neat looking stuff, and it has my mind alight with possibility. Just have like 10 or 15 or so projects to do first and then maybe I can play with this method a bit.
-Confusion is a state of mind, or is it?
I’m imagining cute li’l sweaters for Tron and Vash! I love finding new ways to crochet. Thanks Taco.
That’s OK, you can repay me by sending me wiggly crochet hotpads in amusing and ugly colors
