I have an addiction. I don’t even know who I am anymore. In the many years leading up to sewing, I often professed my distain for it. It was great for other people, just not for me. I was fine with my knitting, crochet and plethora of other hobbies. I also didn’t really have the … Continue reading Can’t Stop Quilting
This post is a bit different from my usual “patterns”. The more I delve into knitting patterns, the more I realize that my pattern writing is seriously lacking. They help me recall projects, although a more experienced writer would cringe. But I digress… I’d really just like to share some of the new cables I’ve learned … Continue reading Cable Studies
Well, here it is — yet another pillow cover. I couldn’t stand looking at my other IKEA pillow after my last post, so one week later and I have a new cozy pillow to add to my collection. And I mean collection. My double bed is half throw pillows at this point. This cover is … Continue reading Pillow Cover Part II
When I started this project I had no idea how long it would take. For something so simple (it’s really just two squares woven together) it ended up being the most knitting I’ve ever done. I almost feel ready to make a sweater at this point — and I say almost because it isn’t happening … Continue reading Pillow Cover
Well, it’s been quite a while since I last blogged; mostly due to the fact that it’s summer time and I rarely bring out the yarn in the summer. As I was sitting around today spending some quality time with Netflix, as I do (it’s Saturday…), I realized I have so many projects tucked away … Continue reading Big Blanket
My co-worker is pregnant, and we both have Pinterest, so obviously I have been spending most of my free time crocheting cute baby things. Most of them are photo props, because let’s be real: What baby is going to keep a floppy bunny hat on their head for more than five seconds? But the sets … Continue reading Crochet Baby Sets
I’ve had a bit of extra time on my hands, quite literally as this post would suggest, and crocheting a bit more than usual. Luckily excessive crocheting pairs perfectly with binge watching Orange is The New Black. With that I give you this crochet catch all. When I was making this, I wasn’t entirely sure where … Continue reading Crochet Catch All
Another cup cozy? Yes. Not only can I no longer handle a little bit of coffee cup heat on my hands but I’m also a cup cozy fiend. After I figured out how to knit a cozy, a crochet version wasn’t too far behind. I actually like the crochet version more. Crochet is generally thicker, … Continue reading Cup Cozy
If you take a spin past my Valentine’s Day post, you’ll see that I included a festive little basket. This basket is very much a variation of that basket, but bigger and brighter! I also used twine (I love twine). While twine can be a bit difficult to work with, the end result is well … Continue reading Bright Basket
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day. While flowers and candy are all well and good, I just never got into it—single or not. This year, however, I have embraced it and am celebrating with a crafting binge. I picked up this bright pink nylon thread from … Continue reading Crafty Valentine’s Day
