From me, anyway. I’d gotten really board with all that stockinette. What am I talking about? Why, Aidan’s sweater, of course. Four months after I started it, I am done. DONE! Last night, before I went to bed, I folded up the sweater neatly and left it as a surprise on the corner of his […]

It’s been somewhat quiet in Blogland these last several days, but I have to believe there are a few of you out there still checking in, just as I have been reading a few long-time favorites, too – mostly via my tablet, from under my quilt, while next to a crackling fire. Oh, I have […]

I seem to be going in reverse age order with these. Today’s quick knit is another hat, this time for Aidan. Aidan is nearly 12, a sixth grader, and he is of the opinion that when it comes to hats, “simpler is better.” So, no cables for this one. Just simple ribbing on the brim, […]

Somebody needed a new hat. Two somebodies, in fact, but this post is about the smaller somebody, in particular. The hat I made him three years ago was starting to feel a little snug and look a little crummy. Pilling and such. He picked out the yarn, and I picked out a pattern that would […]

Ever since the days of the “Blankie O’ Love” this boy has been all about Cozy. Wherever he is, if there’s a blanket nearby, he’ll get under it. (I took this picture at my in-laws’ house the other night, where he had easily made himself at home under Grandma’s blanket.) He still thinks he is […]

I first saw this on Pinterest with no source given. I found it repulsive in a can’t-avert-my-eyes kind of way, and so I google image searched my way to the original. I showed it to the one person in this house (other than me) who likes both pasta and hot dogs, and he was all […]

I spaced-out on the Kids Clothes Week Challenge until today (Ever just want to sit next to an open window with a good book and a refreshing drink? Yes? Well then, you have the gist of how my week has felt. Forget dragging the sewing machine back up from the basement, I’ll just sit here […]

Aidan’s quilt top is finished. I put it on his bed to get an idea how it will look in his room. None of the fabrics are pre-washed, so it is likely to shrink and get that delightfully-crinkly look, assuming I manage to quilt it well. If you find quilt-making intimidating, I highly recommend using […]

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 […]
