It’s time for another give away, but not yarn this time. We can never have too many knitting/crochet bags, right? I can’t, I have four (or maybe there’s five…) and I do like to switch them out on occasion.
We actually have a “sponsor” of sorts, this time around. Underground Clothing, Co. has generously donated one of their [...]

After a long weekend of beach bumming and pool side diversion, I’m surprised that I actually finished a project. Honestly, making the Swallowtail Shawl was not nearly as fun as I had hoped it would have been. The results are fantastic, however, the process was just a little monotonous for my tastes. But here she [...]

This is long overdue. I started the Girl’s Games Sweater back in March before I knew I’d be getting my breast augmentation. When the operation was scheduled, I experienced some sort of anticipation-knitting episode and starting casting on project after project. I wish I had stuck to the sweater, it would have been finished ages [...]

Now that I’ve passed my six week post-op, I’m running again. It feels so good to get back to my old routine, I’ve been doing this all week…
But with just the one treadmill. I’m finishing up the Girl’s Games Sweater. All that is left is sewing on the sleeves and adding [...]

Wee! My gifts are here! Thank you, Mr. Yarn Bearer, this is better than Christmas. Thankfully, I only had to give birth once to get this kind of gratitude (because I’m not going through that again).
Here’s the Mini Record Earrings, the Handcuff Necklace, and matching bracelet.
And the Jellyfish Earrings…
My LAMB BELT!
And this one isn’t exactly [...]

I still feel like death warmed over, and over, and over… But we’re all working though it. Nothing like a Man Cold on Mother’s Day.
I have a feeling that I’ll have this runny nose for the next two weeks, argh. A small project was finished yesterday, presenting the White on White [...]

Zakka Basket from Pierrot
I made this all kinds of tiny. Isn’t it cute though? Single crochet has become very satisfying lately, it reminds me of when I first learned the knit stitch, but was still fumbling around with purl. Garter stitch never feels quite as rewarding again once you’ve progressed beyond the novice stage, I [...]

Once again, my ability to post was put on hold when our modem crapped out. I spent two hours on the telephone with AT&T to find out that it wasn’t the lines, there were no repairs being made, but the modem had actually died. Thankfully, they overnighted a new modem and it arrived just after [...]

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I did finish a May 4th project, but it was nearly midnight before I realized I hadn’t posted yet. Here’s May 4, another T-shirt Corset from the Alabama Stitch Book:
This had originally been a God Awfuls tee, but Mr. Yarn Bearer tossed it on the recon pile due to a stain [...]

Crocheted Ring from the Purl Bee.
Spicy, eh? The Purl Bee posted this project journal this morning. I’m not at all interested in the Treasure Locket, but the ring was cute, perfect project if you only have about half an hour to spare.
The pepper bead is big, is it not? I found nearly fifty of them at the [...]
