Help a Dachshund!
No surprise, I'm a big fan of dachshunds. I spotted the Willie pattern on Ravelry and left a comment for Pam, aka Flint Knits, to let her know how much I liked the pattern. Then I found out it is a fund-raising pattern - her dachshund, Crush, recently broke his leg!! Read about the pattern… Continue reading Help a Dachshund!
An Inspirational Pattern – Day Two
Blog about a pattern or project which you aspire to.

Misbehavin’ Model.
I knit a hat and I was trying to take a good photo. I think I found a good combination of a particular wine bottle and an empty sugar bowl - together it fills out the hat and then gets it up off the table. Today, trying to take a photo of the hat and… Continue reading Misbehavin’ Model.
Tiny Shoes
Do babies really need shoes? Of course not. They are usually bundled up in footie pajamas or blankets or even if you do get the socks / shoes on, the smart little babes figure out how to kick them off real quick. That doesn't stop knitters from making them - little baby socks / shoes… Continue reading Tiny Shoes
A Tale of Two Books.
Fair warning, there's no knitting in this post. It's about books I finished in the last month or so. I recently came across an interesting website, BookSneeze. Cute slogan. I signed up because even though most of my free time where I could be reading is usually spent knitting, I do enjoy new books and… Continue reading A Tale of Two Books.
