On the Needles
Here’s the latest on what’s in progress. I can’t show you everything, because the gifty crafting has begun. Only 56 days left til Christmas, you know. (I know, I was shocked too – it’s only Halloween!) As soon as I … Continue reading
Beekeeper
I have a small stash of fingering weight yarn in two and three skein quantities that I have been saving for small shawls or summer tanks. I grab them as I come across them in my wanderings, and they are … Continue reading
On Cozy Sweaters
We’ve all got a favorite cozy sweater in our closets. You know the one – it’s so soft, snuggly, and warm that we wish we could wear it every day. The one that fits perfectly, is just right for our … Continue reading

Featherweight
Here in the Northwest, cardigans in every shape, color, and weight are the norm in every well-stocked wardrobe. In the winter they add a cozy warm layer, in the spring and fall they guard against the temperature swings, and in … Continue reading
Catching up on FO’s
I’m behind on showing you several finished objects (FO’s). I still blame the boxes. I finished the fairytale cape in plenty of time for my niece’s birthday. I even managed to find some white fun fur and a sparkly button … Continue reading
Other Work in Progress
Now, just because I started a few new projects does not necessarily mean that I have abandoned the other work in progress. I have never been accused of being a monogamous knitter/crocheter, after all. So here’s an update on the … Continue reading
