One month to go!

Just one month to go until the CGOA/TKGA Knit and Crochet show (Oct 2 ~ 6). Lorene and I are getting rather excited. We will be taking several classes, and participating in several events. My goal is to improve my skills to bring you even better patterns, and to improve this blog.  Also, to have a LOT of fun!! Lorene and I will be doing lots of schmoozing, and I will be taking many photos. I was sure to get a hotel … Read more

Basement Organizing & Yarn Stash

I spent most of the day in the basement doing some cleaning and organizing. My cutting table was covered with varoius…stuff, and there was a stack of bins and crates 8 feet long and 3 feet tall next to the sofa. I have been looking for the same skein of yarn for weeks now and I finally couldn’t take it anymore. I knew it was in one of those bins! The first thing I did was pull out some of … Read more

Katherine-do-over

Once more into the breech

Hello my friends! Do you remember how far I had gotten on the Katherine Coat over the spring/summer? Well, here she is now:

Katherine-do-over

That’s right, I frogged the whole coat. It had to be done. I took a couple of weeks and re~wrote the entire pattern, I did warn you I was going to do that. I am much happier now. I was not impressed with the boxy look of the coat on the first go around, and I want to provide you with the best possible patterns.

Our trip to New England (a little late)

I had a lot of photos to share in this post, maybe a bit too many, so I turned most of them into collages. As always, you can click on a photo to see it a bit larger. At the beginning of the month we went to visit my family in New England. My mother is the oldest of 11 kids, and all 11 of them managed to make it back to Beverly, MA for our little reunion. OK, maybe … Read more

WiP Wednesday 8/21/13

This seems like a good Wednesday for a WiP update, so here you go! I have done most of the math for the Katherine coat re-write that I told you about the other day. I am ready to make a few videos for extra help with some of the more tricky parts. Then I will be ready to start making my coat. But first, I have to frog the first go. Lots of unraveling ahead for me! Yesterday was such … Read more

Marital bliss

This evening I am going to share a story with you. It’s something that happened a few weeks ago. Doug tends to go to bed before me. One, two, sometimes three hours before me. He also gets up before me. When it’s only around an hour, I sometimes find him still reading his library book when I head to bed. Other nights he is already asleep by the time I climb into bed. Most of these nights he is sleeping … Read more

Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga

That’s me, just chugging along. I try to do one thing at a time, but sometimes that doesn’t seem feasible. Oh well, I just make the best of it and do what I can.

Custom-Max-hat

I received a special order for a Max hat. A couple saw them at InsaniTea, and fell in love, but didn’t see one in the size and color they wanted. So above is a picture of the cute colors they picked out for their 6~12 month Max hat.

Just minutes ago, I was uploading and tagging photos to share with you. Some of my yarnie works in progress, and a few other goodies. I popped over to Facebook for a moment to check a message, and saw a status update that changed my plans. The crafty post will go up tomorrow. When I was pregnant with the twins, over 6 years ago, I joined a brand new site for moms, CafeMom. It was my first social media site … Read more
