My own little corner of the craft blogging world
This weekend I decided to get my needle felting supplies out and work on a few projects. I used a kit I got for Christmas to make a cute calico kitty in a pink bunny suit, which was instantly stolen by Miss 4 year old and put in her secret box of goodies - so… Continue reading Gotland sheep
I've taken a few days to figure out what projects I wanted to work on. Having so many hobbies is a blessing but also most often a curse. I often feel guilty when I'm working on anything besides my knitting, since it was my first "love" (well technically I did crochet before but we don't… Continue reading Neon stripes and little hexagons
Last week I skipped posting since the only thing I've worked on is my Llama Drama shawl. I was able to finish it tonight and even got ends woven in, washed and it's on the blocking mats. Blocking shawls is definitely not a skill I'd say I'm proficient in since I don't knit shawls on… Continue reading Early Wednesday posting
This spinning project basically spun itself right off my wheel. This is from Blue Moon Alpacas on Etsy. 4 ounces of 23 micron merino and sparkle. "Once upon a time" colorway. I'll measure the yardage after it gets a soak. WPI is currently between a lace and light fingering weight but I expect it to… Continue reading Sparkly spinning
Not much has happened with my crafting. Well that's not true, lots of knitting but all on a single project with a few scattered rows on my Nanner socks. I really have been bloody horrible at updating here, sorry about that. And yes, I've been watching a bunch of British TV. I've made lots of… Continue reading Sunday vibes
I finished my lollipop yarns stripey socks. Colorway is Charisma. Just a basic top down with 68 stitches, slip stitch heel flap with rounded square turn and standard toe. I cast on for another pair with more lollipop yarn but I may finish a different sock wip that has been hiding in the ufo pile.… Continue reading Sunday socks!
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
