My own little corner of the knit blogging world
I started sample knitting for my LYS a couple weeks ago. It's a great way to knit patterns that look fun but aren't something I'd wear or use new yarns. So my main project right now is this shawl by Casapinka, The pattern is Llama Drama and the yarn is Yakima from Plymouth yarn. I… Continue reading Sample knitting and socks
After I finished hats for both hubby and my dad in December, I had yarn left from my Gotland lamb handspun yarn. While cleaning for the New Year, I found some previous handspun from when I first got my Spin-E-Kube wheel. It was 144 yards of a worsted-ish weight yarn, (10 wpi falls between worsted… Continue reading Three weeks of crafting – pt. 4
I've been itching to get down to my sewing area for over a year but when my hubby working from home since the middle of March 2020 and the fact that we share an office, I don't get to sew as much as I'd like. Since he took vacation time for the holidays, I was… Continue reading Three weeks of crafting – pt. 3
In my head, splitting up these catch-up posts into a few smaller posts makes more sense than having you scroll through a super long post. This one will have actual projects in it so yay! Shortly after New Year's, I finished Miss 4-year-old's sweater and she wore it to her preschool art class on the… Continue reading Three weeks of crafting – pt. 2
First off, yikes! I realized late last week that I hadn't posted a blog post in a while, and then the thought of trying to catch up with "all the crafting" that I had done in that time got to be overwhelming so I tried to ignore it. While I had big hopes of doing… Continue reading Three weeks of crafting – pt. 1
Yay middle kiddos fingerless mitts are done. I'm excited to have another FO and free needles. Can't wait to see her face when she tries them on. Until next time, Laugh often, love deeply, and knit the day away!
I bought some needle felting supplies a couple months ago when I saw how much waste I'd have from combing my wool fibers. I had filled a gallon bag with grey Cormo and decided it was time to make something. This little bunny was the result of my needle felting time this weekend. The girls… Continue reading Stab, stab, repeat!
Although I'm done with holiday gift knitting, I still have been pushing myself to finish my current projects on the needles. *knocks on wood* I might actually finish them in time to be holiday gifts! Of course, now that I've said that, the universe will mess with me, oh well. First up with Miss 4… Continue reading 10 days left
About 7 years ago I knit this sweater for my now middle kiddo. It was not one of the first sweaters I had knit however both the cast-on and bind-offs were a bit tight. To be honest, it was never her favorite sweater but that's ok. Fast forward several years, we have Miss 4 year… Continue reading Reclaiming yarn
Friday night we had a slight dusting of snow. Enough that it covered the ground, more than a dusting but less than half an inch. Our youngest kiddos were so excited to go out and play yesterday morning. As soon as miss 4 year old came back in she said she'd never go play in… Continue reading Cold weather means more wool
