I’m trying to learn not to be so matchy-matchy. I’ve been hearing lately that it’s very stylish to coordinate one’s accessories, but to match them? Not so much. This isn’t an easy lesson for me, as you might imagine, being someone who has spent much of the last fifteen years attempting to exactly match the […]
Read More: Turn a Dashing SquareSo I had this great idea to start a “Work-in-Progress Weekends” feature, which would feature glimpses into the projects I was currently working on, and would invite you to share in kind. But before I knew it, it was already Monday and I hadn’t made a fancy little blog button to represent the series. And […]

It’s time for another Polka Dot Download! I’ve been wanting to write this one up for ages and I finally sat down and did it. Fiesta Hats are great one-night projects, featuring bright colors and simple techniques. I’ve written instructions for both loom knitters and needle knitters, so you can make these hats no matter […]

I was rereading my last several posts and noticed how negative they were – blech! Enough of that. I’m in a happy mood now that most of the difficulties of the last few weeks are behind me, Thanksgiving is almost here, and there’s so much in the next several weeks to look forward to. Yay! […]

…it pours. Finally getting over my sore neck issues, and now I have my son’s cold (but with a twist – I was lucky enough to get a fever and a headache, too). Throw in a little PMS just for kicks, and well, it’s been a fun few days over here. Yesterday I was good […]

I was commissioned to make a pair of Mike Nesmith-inspired wool hats recently, after somebody saw the one I made for Aidan last year. So here they are. I like these a lot better than Aidan’s, actually, which was done on a loom, and totally improvised. I improvised these, too, but I’ve got more experience […]

I just realized it’s been a year since I first picked up the knitting needles. My first project with them was a pair of fingerless gloves, and surprise, surprise, guess what my most recent project has been? Yes, it’s another pair of Dashing. After making three pairs for other people, I was eager to make […]

There was a perfect hour or so last night, when all four of us were together in the same cozy space, all working on our own little projects, but still together. The TV was off, the house was quiet, save for the sounds of acorns pelting the roof, and I just felt very grateful to […]

I’m thinking I may need to have my “crafty blogger” license revoked. Not counting photography-related posts, I haven’t dedicated an entire post to anything craft-related in almost a month. A lot of that is because I haven’t done much of anything crafty. I’ve wanted to, but I’ve been stalled by the state of my craft […]

We have friends who are expecting twin girls soon, which gave me the perfect excuse to try out some incredibly soft yarn I’d had my eye on. It’s called Latte, it’s made by Ella Rae, and you won’t believe what one of the ingredients is: Milk! Working in a yarn shop is teaching me that […]
