Do I sound like a broken record yet? Yes, I finished another Strib Hat. I really like this pattern. After making it for the third time I basically have it memorized, although I might have made the stripes different widths than the original. After seeing the other hats at Christmas, my sister-in-law requested one that […]

WIP Wednesday overachiever?
It’s a start of a new year and to get myself over that post-holiday, new year, it’s-colder-than-Antarctica (literally!) crafting hump, I have come up with a bunch of projects to start me off. 1. I frogged the Emily Sweater I was making for myself. The yarn is a delicious grape color and I fully intend […]
WIP Wednesday – another striped hat
I’m still chugging away making some Christmas presents. I had one hat already made up that looked like it would be the perfect size for my great-nephew Anthony. Until I saw him at Thanksgiving. The hat would fit … but I made it in black, white and red. His coat was black, turquoise and bright […]
30 Days of Gratitude – Day 20 / WIP Wednesday
I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t craft. It’s a creative outlet for me that is relaxing – at least most of the time.

WIP Wednesday – socks
My unfinished list has gotten quite a bit smaller lately. I think blogging about them helps – it keeps me motivated because I want to be able to show you what I’ve finished! I’m down to just these left: A sweater for myself. I’ll probably frog and start this one over because I found a […]
WIP Wednesday
I haven’t had much time to craft the last couple of weeks what with traveling and late bedtimes for Little Chick (she needs to start getting up earlier in the morning!). Here’s a project I’ve worked on and off since February. It’s called the Between Meals Centerpiece and is a popular doily pattern among the […]
WIP Wednesday
I’m not sure I’ll get this done by Friday, so here’s my Work-in-Progress Wednesday showing: Can you tell what it is yet? It’s a sweater for my daughter. I just have the sleeves yet to do. I couldn’t start last night because it turns out I don’t have size 6 dpns – just my circulars. […]
