In fall 2008, I made this really sweet neck warmer inspired by the autumn trees. Since we are heading into spring, I thought it would be a good time to dust it off, spruce it up, and re-release it.
I learned a lot from laying out Diane’s and my ebook and tried out some fun new [...]

The mail has been pouring in lately. On Friday I was so happy when Jason checked the mail and brought back the first package delivered to my new studio address: Lee sent me her awesome Quick Knits Club! The yarn is gorgeous, it’s recycled, respun, and over-dyed. An amazing amount of work went into this [...]

If you are a sock knitter, you know of the little 10 feet to 20 yards that are left when you make them. Well, I’ve been knitting a Ton of sock. Okay, maybe not a “ton” but about 5 pairs down now — I love wearing them now that it’s getting cold. Anyway, I’ve been [...]

It’s been awhile since I started a new knitting project, so I wanted it to be really great. Something I would want to wear all the time. And something that would be brainless to knit so I can take it everywhere for me. At first I was going to do another in the round sweater [...]

It is always so satisfying to use up stash yarn I must say. I’ve had this nondescript bundle of bulky super wash wool for quite sometime. It was given to me by a friend who was de-stashing. Known as the “Craft Leftovers Girl” I often get donations of leftovers from other people’s projects. It’s like [...]

Last week I was so excited to start guest blogging on CRAFT. Whenever they have guest bloggers, I always think “wow those people must be so cool”. And now I’m one of them. Although I still have doubts of my “coolness” I do feel like one pretty crafty lady. Check out that sweet banner they [...]

Often it’s those last 10 yards that are the hardest to find uses for. What the heck do you do with those? Thankfully there are many answers to that question! But today I am going to just focus on one: Slip Stitch Knitting!
Traditionally, fair isle work using up more yarn – so creating a complex [...]

Yesterday was kit making day. I was going to post about it last night but was freaking tired and wussed out, ha! Anyway, Jason helped me put together about 60+ yarn craft kits and I’m working on another 40 sewing kits and 20 paper kits (collage it and stitch n’ sketch). This has a three [...]

Well, exciting things are underway and I finally get to share with you what I’ve been working on all weekend.
First, if you are on Ravelry, I’ve started to add the all cl patterns to Ravelry for download! And I’ve also started going through all the cl patterns and updating their information, links, pictures, and descriptions. [...]
