Valentine's Day is coming up next week. (It's already the middle of February?) New holidays mean new hats! I have had the I Love Mom beanie in my queue for a while, so I took full advantage of a naptime or two, which currently are all over the place and not consistent in their length… Continue reading Wrong gauge, still a success!
Photo Challenged
One thing I enjoy about having a blog is that I feel some sort of (self-imposed) pressure to have good photographs. How do you get good photographs? You could take a class like I did (and would totally take again), and you have to just take pictures. Lots of pictures. I do take a lot… Continue reading Photo Challenged
Found it on Pinterest!
I love the internet! Here's some fun stuff from Pinterest I have found and tried.Did you know you can use a stand mixer to shred chicken? Sure, you could use the two fork method, and I have and I don't like to. This way? After the chicken is cooked I can drop it in the… Continue reading Found it on Pinterest!
Baby Rock’n’Rollneck Sweater
A full-sized (baby) garment at last! There has never been a shortage of hats or cowls or other small things around this blog, so it feels quite good to post this one.

Will Work for Yarn
I have another knitting job to add to my resume - blocker. A fellow knitter put out a call looking for someone who loves blocking. She finished Rock Island and did not have the space to block it. I replied to her that I didn't mind it and I had received a set of blocking… Continue reading Will Work for Yarn
Found it on Pinterest!
I am a big fan of Pinterest and the feeling of 'pseudo-organization' it brings me. I have the usual boards on there and a few that I created. I have started a new board that I am calling "I Tried It!" where I can pin things that I have actually done having found them on… Continue reading Found it on Pinterest!

Oh My, Wollmeise!
Last week I participated in a fast action swap online. Person A put up something, Person B says "Mine" and then Person B puts up something new. I had fast fingers and claimed a skein of the ever elusive, Wollmeise! A whole skein! I have a few minis for the Beekeeper Quilt, and that's great… Continue reading Oh My, Wollmeise!
