I am making a cap for a friend. He wants it in synthetic yarn, and it has to be quite thin yarn, so I went mooching through my stash looking for the perfect yarn. I had some discontinued Caron Shadows that I had used in another project that was rejected, so I figured I would be eco friendly and recy...

  The weather has been glorious--breezy and warm with more than enough sun--and even I can't complain. So we've moved our workspace outside for as much of the day as possible.     Crafty cherubs are usually nearby begging to participate as crafty cherubs do. Like yesterday ...

This has been a joy to do   I think it was the picot edge that did it for me   and the chance to use my last horn button   The pattern is free on www.knittingdaily.com, I used two balls of Rowan Felted Tweed. No 2 asked me if it was going to be for a granny.  Boys... eh?...

I’ve been up since 7:30am and I’ve barely sat down today.  It actually feels really good to be so busy today.  The first thing I did was dye a big bunch of roving.  This is about a half pound or more of that mixed wool/llama/mohair/whatever that I got at the fiber fair last year, ...

(These are for the 52-Hats-This-Year Challenge on Ravelry. Numbers 1 and 2 are the Hat with Flower and the Baby Toboggan.) I made this one from the Ragg Yarn Watch Cap pattern by Marty Miller in Cool Crocheted Hats. However (there's always a however, isn't there?), I didn't like the way ...

I enjoy looking at your crochet. It is very sexy and elegant. I mostly make baby blankets and afghans. It's hard to make them look sexy =(. Maybe one day I will have skills to make things as awesome as you. Have a good week,J MODEL:  AVA...

"Art is not about thinking something up.  It is the opposite -- getting something down."  -- Julia Cameron Who coined the term scarflette?  I use the term when marketing certain work on Etsy, as it is obviously a common term on the site.  But isn't this piece re...

I finished my first real crochet project last night... all except for the flower for the front. It is the In Bloom Clutch from Stitch 'n Bitch Crochet. I really like how it turned out and had the perfect fabric......
