Day One (Monday April 22nd): The House Cup. A bit like Harry Potter, but not quite, this year’s Knitting & Crochet Blog Week is split into 4 houses. Don your favourite knitted or crocheted hat and let it guide you to which house you will be in. The House of Bee: Bees are busy and… Continue reading The House Cup (KCBWDAY1)
FO Friday – One Owl
I don't know about you, but I am pretty happy it's Friday. I do not have a lot to show this week even though I am working on so many projects! This little owl (the pattern is here) is on his way to a new home out in Oregon because he was made for a… Continue reading FO Friday – One Owl
Yarn Along / WIP Wednesday – For the kids edition
Truth: It's been a decent week for starting projects. I am super pleased at how a few of them are progressing, so that's good. I am not so pleased with how a finger on my hook holding hand tends to cramp up / lock straight when I crochet an awful lot. Has this happened to… Continue reading Yarn Along / WIP Wednesday – For the kids edition
Make More Light.
My heart goes out to Boston. New England may be 6 states big, but it all feels like a small town. What do we do while our hearts are heavy? Make an appointment to give blood. Look to the helpers. And this:So yesterday, we started our seeds. There's hope there.
FO Friday – a peek
Oh the cuteness, I can barely stand it! Last night at SnB I practiced my crochet skills on this wee little baby toy.

WIP Wednesday – a bit of everything
Instagram has captured what I have worked on this week. I finally cleared out my garden beds. After a not-so-successful garden last year (the weeds won), I left everything there over the winter. I figure it gives a little bit back to the soil. This year, with the sole exception of green beans, we're going… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – a bit of everything
Quarter 1 – Review
At work we do a quarterly review of statistics for our clients and I thought maybe it seemed like a good idea to check in on my self-imposed Resolutions & Intentions.1. Knit / Crochet at least 13 skeins that have been stashed before 1/1/12 (inspired by the Use It or Lose It thread in the… Continue reading Quarter 1 – Review
WIP Wednesday – Ombre Coffee
I've been really pushing myself on my Morning Coffee sweater. I would like to be able to wear it a few times before fall! The body needs one more inch or so and then several inches of ribbing. I should be able to start the sleeves next week! Except for the first skein which was… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – Ombre Coffee
Too much stuff – Yarn Along & WIP Wednesday
Let's just sum up by saying I have a lot of stuff. I have a lot of projects going on, I have to keep track of a lot of details for my work, my home & family. I may be reaching a tipping point. Today I started the washing machine and left the top open;… Continue reading Too much stuff – Yarn Along & WIP Wednesday
