Today is a sort of twist on my yarn along and my WIP Wednesday, because this post is also a review of Heather Zoppetti's new book, Everyday Lace. It is also part of a Scavenger Hunt and you can win prizes! I was pretty excited to see Heather's tweet back in the spring asking if… Continue reading Review: Everyday Lace by Heather Zoppetti

With a Side of Dinosaur, Always
This week I was shown an etsy listing of a mug cozy and asked if I could make something like that. Well sure! After a bit of back and forth to help narrow down the possibilities and a bit of stash diving I came up with this: Leftover Tosh Chunky (not even 40 yards), a… Continue reading With a Side of Dinosaur, Always
Looking familiar
I couldn't decide which way to go with this photo. It's either a "Who Wore It Better" shot or the beginning a joke - a duck and a brachiosaurus are wearing similar sweaters.... These are the beginnings of the next sample knit. No surprise I'm totally sold on the two-at-a-time method. I am not a… Continue reading Looking familiar
HeartCats Update
This post includes what I am reading and finished objects, but each are important enough to deserve a post of their own! Last year I became an Aunt and met my most fabulous niece. A month after that she (and her parents and our family) began an incredible journey to help her with her heart.… Continue reading HeartCats Update
Halfway
It's Wednesday - halfway in the week, halfway between Nate's birthday and his party. Dinosaurs, of course. I've made decent progress on my projects but you can't really see a difference. 50 rows done on Nate's blanket and I'm ready to start the heels on my super socks. I've just received the yarn for a… Continue reading Halfway
Socks, Sweater yarn, and Somber Stories
One of the nice things about driving to your vacation destination is that I really didn't have to worry about space. I packed 3 projects and gave 2 of them serious attention. I started a new pair of socks for my Personal Sock Club. This yarn, Wonderfully Super from Yarntini, was picked as the sock… Continue reading Socks, Sweater yarn, and Somber Stories
une petite pause
Wow, almost a month since I last posted! It's been a mix of busy summer days, lazy summer days, and then getting ready (kids and myself) for a little vacation and all that goes with that. Last week, for an early celebration of our 10th wedding anniversary (happening in November), my husband and I took… Continue reading une petite pause
FO Fiber Friday
I made yarn! Maybe it's a bit unusual to post about yarn as a FO? The way I see it, I did finish spinning the fiber, I finished soaking it, thwacking it, and let it dry. So it is ready to knit into something. It is still a bit corkscrewy on itself, so I'm not… Continue reading FO Fiber Friday
Orange is the new Yarn
I had to use that as the subject! I have only watched 1 episode of the show, Orange is the New Black, and I was not drawn in to watch any more so I really don't get the hype. I'm not an orange person, but these are the newest yarns to be wound up and… Continue reading Orange is the new Yarn
Just Call Me Mother of Dinosaurs
For my FO Friday, I'm pleased to share my third hand-made dinosaur! Joining Dino and Dinosaur Rex we have Spikey! Spikey the Stegosaurus, a Fresh Stitches design, is a really fun pattern to work up. As I've written before the pattern is straightforward and not complicated. Stacey's patterns are a great way to get started… Continue reading Just Call Me Mother of Dinosaurs
