  • on my needles…

    I have been totally smitten with this pattern lately. I picture it all finished and blocked layed out over a crisp white bedspread, as a Coverlet. Oooh…ahhhhh…. A Bed spread may seem like an odd knit during the cusp of summer but someone’s Hubby likes it frigid in the bedroom at night. Bbbbrrrrrr….. This is…

  • through the woods…..

    Over the river and through the woods To Grandmother’s house we go. The horse knows the way To carry the sleigh Through the white and drifted snow, O! Over the river and through the woods Oh, how the wind does blow. It stings the nose And bites the toes As over the ground we go.…

  • Small packages…

    I received a special little something in the post over the summer and I am quite proud of myself for keeping it secret for this long! My very FIRST published pattern!!! A very proud moment for me. One that I hope to repeat many times over!  🙂 Of course this special moment would not be complete…

  • Falling for knits…

    I can feel it starting….the air is feeling ever so slightly crisper, thinner, fresher. Fall is coming soon. I know it is because the box of fresh crayons and bottle of Elmer’s glue told me so! School will be starting in just over a week. I’ll be heading down to the basement to pull out…

  • Testing, testing…

    This pattern has been a long time coming. I’ve had a gazillion Crocheters ask me for a pattern for this scarf since last winter. Zoe ended up in the hospital for a day and a half last week, due to dehydration, so it left plenty of time for me to work on this. What else…

  • Retooling…

    This pattern-writing business is tricky stuff! I’ve been tweaking here and tweaking there, and I think I finally have the pattern where I want it. After 4 hours of counting stitches, unraveling and RE-counting stitches, jotting down this, scratching out that…. And let me just add, if you are working on a pattern that requires…

  • Meet "Calla"!

    Ooooohh…..pretty. pretty. pretty.I love her! I have been sifting through the creative “floaters” drifting around in my head lately for something “Springy” or “Summery” to create for the shop. Bathing suit? Uh……no. Head band? Too……boring. Too bad I can’t get hats to sell this time of year. Ooh! Wait!!And then I pictured those lovely gals…
