I have been taking a knitting class, and what I wanted to learn was how to make 2 socks on Circular Needles, knit at the same time. I really had the idea of making one of something, and then having to turn right around and make another one. I’ve been doing okay with [...]

I have not been posting because I’ve been at the Shriner Burns Hospital in Boston. My sweet baby girl burned her hands on a stove. We were at someone’s house and when we arrived I saw what appeared to be a wood stove that was off. Well, it wasn’t wood, so after [...]

I have photographed and compiled, in Word, the instructions for the Wrap around reversible dress I created. It will not include a pattern, but it does give instructions for how to make the mechanics work. You will need to come up with your own pattern sized to the wearer. The instructions will [...]

My mom knows how to knit, crochet and sew, but between having a relatively short attention span and being extremely busy taking care of aging family members and working and all the things that go along with being a mom, Grammy and wife, she hasn’t got a lot of time for crafting. But she [...]

I am notoriously bad about eating breakfast. I just don’t have much of an appetite in the morning, so by the time I think to eat, it’s usually lunch time so I just go for a lunch item and move on from breakfast. Well, since that is not really the healthiest thing for my body, [...]

I stitched the little purse together, but until I finish the embellishments, it looks the same as the last pic I posted, so no need for another. I am still at the same spot on the baby socks. I worked today, so I didn’t get much done. I should have finished projects tomorrow, [...]

I finally finished the little necklace tutorial I have been working on. Per my usual, I did not get it just right…PDF conversion seems to be a bit beyond me, still, but I’ll keep striving for perfection. In the mean time this is the part that got cut off:
Insert thread into the wrapped [...]

I have finished the knitting and felting of the cute little sweetheart bag. I need to stitch the front and back together (for the photo it’s just set in place) and then embellish! I am pretty proud of how well I felted this. I have finally found a groove with the felting. Mom’s tea cozy [...]

I had so much fun making the last pair of socks for the baby, I decided to just have a pair I’m working on at all times. Socks are so small and easy to transport, so I can throw the yarn, needles and notebook in a little box bag in my purse and drag [...]

I’m loving Ravelry. It’s just an amazing website. Truly, Amazing, and so well thought out. The folks behind it are quite on the ball, and obviously know the cyber world very well. This site has EVERYTHING at your fingertips. It’s a great database for patterns and yarns. Got a yarn in your stash, but don’t [...]
