I am so close to being in the final stretch of my Stripe Study shawl -colored stripe #12 to go, then on to the last grey section! I even dreamt about this shawl last night, that was a first. Garter stitch is just so soothing. The rows are getting longer, so it feels like it… Continue reading Almost at the End!

FO Friday – A bit of brain mush
Happy Friday! I'm so glad that I can finally share a few projects. Life has been a bit hectic lately and today my brain is just mush. So I am going to jump in with sharing my projects! I have seriously been bitten by the crochet bug and I love it. I wanted to make… Continue reading FO Friday – A bit of brain mush
WIP Wednesday- Pollen edition
I have so many projects going on right now and I can't share any of them! It is a mix of custom requested projects, gift items, and test/samples - all under wraps for the time being. I really wanted to share something this week, so I started something new. (Who's surprised? No one who reads… Continue reading WIP Wednesday- Pollen edition
FO Friday
Eventually I will have finished knit projects to share! In the end, I have decided to add two more flowers to the cactus that I shared on Wednesday. I am very excited to have finished a blood drop! I have been meaning to give blood for a long while - I wanted to make it… Continue reading FO Friday
WIP Wednesday and Yarn Along
Happy May! I have a few more books to keep it interesting this week. I haven't finished the Agatha Christie book yet, but I was so drawn to the cover of Contagious: Why Things Catch On and it seems interesting so far. I thought I would also share what my kids are reading. We are… Continue reading WIP Wednesday and Yarn Along
Oh, Life.
Typical. I get all excited to do something and then the follow through falls through. I truly intended to complete the entire week of posts for the Knitting & Crochet Blog Week. Wednesday was thrown off for kindergarten parent orientation (and a subsequent letter writing campaign), Thursday I had to put my energy into work,… Continue reading Oh, Life.
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
A cowl, an owl and cables! FO Friday!
It's been a good week! This cowl was my first crochet test project! Crystal wore hers a few weeks back to our knitting group and I was absolutely taken with it. I was rather forward in telling her that I was very interested in the pattern - I am feeling a lot more comfortable with… Continue reading A cowl, an owl and cables! FO Friday!
Bug Eyed & Sluggish
The Blizzard of 2013 has come and gone but we're going to be dealing with this mess for a while. We measured 26" outside our front door, and CT effectively shut down this weekend. My husband and I worked shoveling our driveway yesterday and today and we're maybe 1/3 of the way done. We haven't… Continue reading Bug Eyed & Sluggish
