Let's face facts: My stash is certainly healthy and likely SABLE-status (that stands for Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy. It will take years to knit or crochet it all.) My Ravelry queue is 54 pages long. That's over 1600 projects I have noticed and thought "Yeah, I'd like to make that." Yarn and crafts are part of… Continue reading 2018MakeNine

Planning Ahead
On my computer I have a folder for bookmarked sites titled "2006ideas" - it's stuff I marked as a reminder of things that I wanted to knit. With Christmas vacation here (YAY!!) I have the best of intentions to work my way through the stash - get it organized / matched up with patterns /… Continue reading Planning Ahead
