Contribute to #yarnbomber: Done. 

​I crocheted so much one day somewhat recently that I had pains in my forearm. Did I stop? No! I switched to knitting until the pain went away.  A glass of wine  also helped. I did learn a lesson that day, sitting on the floor needling a sock together whilst eyeballing the abandoned crochet project:… Continue reading Contribute to #yarnbomber: Done.

Why I’m Not Pooling

I do love the pattern it makes. Pooling is all the rage and argyle is in. The first time I saw it demonstrated, it looked easy enough. The woman said just use a variegated yarn and count this or that many and do the moss stitch. But now there’s this method and that method and the… Continue reading Why I’m Not Pooling

Yarn… What is it about yarn? New yarn, used yarn, free yarn, hand me down yarn, yard sale yarn…you get the point right?

Aside from all of the things you’re… Continue reading Crocheting On The Job, Or Basically Anywhere, Anytime

Sew-In Labels

I’m wearing many hats these days and juggling (quite well) a few projects simultaneously.

Flowers for Mom

I like the idea of making flowers. I like the idea of making anything but this is a great project because you could, if you feel moved, just keep making flowers all the way up to and including May 7th and see how many you can make.

Quick Mother’s Day Spa Set

Whip up something for Mother’s Day that’s pretty, quick, and won’t break the bank in materials. Mother’s Day is in 10 days! I’ve gotten pretty good at making a washcloth within one hour and can probably manage the mitt in the same amount of time so this could actually happen. If you don’t have cotton… Continue reading Quick Mother’s Day Spa Set

If Your Mom’s Into Hookin’…

My husband bought me a travel bag for my yarn and things for my birthday, and also a set of hooks. It was a complete set from super tiny to nice and large, cause size does matter! He was sure he had made a huge mistake and I’d throw it at back at him but… Continue reading If Your Mom’s Into Hookin’…
