In my last post, I talked about how PatPatsHats put out the call for tiger-themed hats. You can read more about Madeline's story on the PatPatsHats blog. I wanted to help make a few hats but the yarn had to be just right. The right shade of tiger-orange and the right materials (acrylic), neither of… Continue reading FO Friday Crochet Tiger Hat

WIP Blobs with a side of Turkey
I make a strong effort to blog each week. Having the link parties like WIP Wednesday, FO Friday (those ones haven't been active in a while - I wonder what's up?), Creative Friday, and Yarn Along are all wonderful motivators. I want to join in and see what everyone is up to. I have found… Continue reading WIP Blobs with a side of Turkey
Halloween Listicles
This candy corn buddy I made for my niece and of course I didn't get any photos of her with it! The pattern was easy and it worked up quick. Click here for the pattern; it is on the RepeatCrafterMe website, not yet on Ravelry. I haven't done a list in a while! Halloween is… Continue reading Halloween Listicles
Calm Cowl Finished
One FO this week, and it is already off and into the wild. Well, maybe not the wild, but there is a good chance you can see this cowl at the Common Ground Fair in Maine. This was a sample for Good Karma Farm and they are vending there this weekend. They now have a… Continue reading Calm Cowl Finished
Happy Friday, Happy Throw
Hello Friday! If you follow me on Instagram (@nutmegknitter) you can probably guess what my FO Friday post will be about. Nate's Blanket is finished! Completing this project also means that I completed all the challenges for Camp Loopy 2014! Did you read about Loopy Academy? I've already signed up and will probably talk more… Continue reading Happy Friday, Happy Throw
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
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
A Lot of Dinosaurs
Yay for going to the library. I just finished the Ten-Year Nap (meh. Didn't love it or hate it.), so that went back and The Invention of Wings came home with me. My mom read it and spoke highly of it. We also found a pile of dinosaur related books. I didn't have a dinosaur… Continue reading A Lot of Dinosaurs
