One of the yarns I spotlighted during April's A-to-Z Blogging Challenge was the Be Sweet T-Shirt yarn. At some point in April, most likely because the yarn was still sitting out after photographing it, I balled it up and started to crochet a basket! It worked up quickly (only 55 yards!) but did hurt my… Continue reading FO Friday A Crochet Basket

Foxy Friday
Thanks to all who commiserated with me on my knitting errors I posted about on Wednesday. The hat is back on track, the sample knit grows, and that's all there is. Last night I decided to work up a little fox mascot so I would have something to post today, for Freshly Finished Friday! You… Continue reading Foxy Friday
Happy Halloween!
We're ready for Halloween tonight! The weather is predicted to be on the chilly side, perfect for all the Elsa's out there, including my own. My daughter is still big into all things princess. Last year she was Wonder Woman (technically a princess!) and I thought maybe this year we could something different. Elsa, in… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
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
Orange is the new Yarn
I had to use that as the subject! I have only watched 1 episode of the show, Orange is the New Black, and I was not drawn in to watch any more so I really don't get the hype. I'm not an orange person, but these are the newest yarns to be wound up and… Continue reading Orange is the new Yarn
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
Weekending
I already know I'm going to want to spotlight the kid's Halloween costumes on Friday (they are very awesome FOs, even if they are not knit) so I figure that today I'll share a bit about my weekend, which does include knitting projects! Saturday was the end of this session of swim lessons. I am… Continue reading Weekending
Stripes and blobs
My weekly pile of projects! It's relatively small this week, as the bulk of my time was spent on my 30 Day Sweater Challenge (and then, ripping it out). I worked on the dinosaur tummy panel during a meeting, and his tail was started during a car ride. The stripey socks have the heel flaps… Continue reading Stripes and blobs
Decisions on WIP Wednesday
Here's my pleasant pile of projects and what I'm perusing. I'm on the button-hole band of my Morning Coffee and I've hit a wall (it's all mostly mental). Part one: The buttons are still to be determined! I bought a set at the CT Sheep and Wool this spring, but a) I don't absolutely love… Continue reading Decisions on WIP Wednesday
Done Dinosaur
Way back in April I agreed to knit a Terence the Tap Dancing T-rex as part of an swap on Ravelry. Thankfully, the intended recipient is very patient with me. This dinosaur is ready to head off to a new home! His body (including tail and arms) were made with one skein of Ella Rae… Continue reading Done Dinosaur
