I have recently discovered maybe I have become a "homesteader" and have thus updated my blog to reflect this newfound revelation.

What time is it?
What time is it? Well its not tool time! (hehe) Crochet time of course (or quickly becoming craft time in my house)! And how will you know? Because this clock speaks crochet time ALL over it! Any craft studio needs this whimsical addition! His idea happens to be one of the most unique ideas I have come across on the Internet!
The whole set up was actually really easy, and fairly cheap too. The pattern calls for a pre-made crafting clock face, I didn't find anything like that. So I simply bought the clock mechanism and cut out a clock face from cardboard, of course mine being made of cardboard has its ansymetrical qualities. Then really all you do is make a circle big enough to fit over the face. (I really didn't look at the pattern, so if you do and this sounds odd that is why). After I made the face I hot glued it to the cardboard face and cut a hole in the center, in the middle of my crocheted ring and inserted the mechanism. Then I made appliqués for the numbers, and since I really can't stand clocks without numbers I used the ones that came with the mechanism and glued them on top of my appliqués. To make placement easier I moved the hands on the clock to the corresponding hour so I would get the appliqués placed in the correct positions. The rainbow was crocheted into the clock face. Everything else I glued on top since I had already glued the face to the cardboard when I made the appliqués.
So the pattern and tutorial can be found on According to Matt...
