School is in full thing, which can only mean one thing: Halloween is coming! We still have a month and a half, which means there’s time to make some fun decorations and costumes. So grab your yarn and let’s get to spookifying!!
Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.
Oh, my! It’s the final week of the Patriotic Party CAL/KAL! Time sure does fly. You can find all the links to all the patterns in the first post of the CAL/KAL. You can continue to share your creations in the Jessie At Home CAL/KAL group on Facebook, even after the CAL/KAL is over.
**I know I said there would be a CAL/KAL break over the summer, but the wonderful thing about being my own boss is I can change my mind!! I came up with an idea for a CAL/KAL that will work even for those of you who are in and out all summer, and that I will be able to make work even with my crazy summer schedule. So check back next week to learn more.**
Over the weekend I posted the last of the patterns for this CAL/KAL.
Let’s bring this CAL/KAL to a close with some photos of all the patterns in use!
It’s been some time since I have shared family photos with you all! So here are some fun snaps and a bit about what we have all been up to over the last month or so
Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you!) was on a Monday, so Doug and the girls celebrated on Sunday with lots of Star Wars toys. It was adorable.
Well, we are less than a month away from the 4th of July!! Plus, there are only two more weeks of the Patriotic Party CAL/KAL. The last post for the CAL/KAL will be Monday June 22nd. After that, there will be different fun for all of you ~ but more on that another time. Earlier today I posted a new knit pattern for our patriotic parties!! It is the knit version of the can cozies, and it can be made in … Read more
Happy Monday all! Have you hopped over to the Facebook group for the Patriotic Party CAK/KAL and added your pictures of your projects? I really enjoy seeing what you have been creating! Remember to keep checking the original CAL/KAL post for the list of all the patterns we are using.
I am finishing up my super exciting trip to the TNNA summer needlearts trade show! It has been a blast!! Oh the things I have to share with you. And not just words. There will be giveaways throughout the summer and hopefully some other fun things as well. So exciting!!!!
In the meantime, let’s take a look at some placemat ideas for your parties.
I love the look of the blue triangle and diagonal red and white stripes to represent the flag. It works so well for a placemat, and there is no worry of being disrespectful to the flag this way. I made a similar knit pattern a while back, and had quite a few requests for a crochet version. I had to find just the right stitch for it, and the linen stitch fit the bill. I have also included a chart of a mini version of the pattern which should help out with those of you who are more visual. This pattern is part of the Jessie At Home Patriotic CAL/KAL.
Happy Monday my friends! Now I know that the point of this Patriotic Party CAL/KAL was to get ready for 4th of July barbeques/parties/picnics. However, next week is Memorial Day, and these patterns will com in handy for that as well! I love Memorial Day parades. It makes me so happy to be able to wave at service men and women and show them my thanks, even in such a small way. If you use your items made from this CAL/KAL … Read more
Wow, things have been busy around here. I have some exciting news I should be able to share with you next month(ish). Between that and Christmas, I got a sort of neglected my blogland friends this week.

I have lots o’ pretty pictures to share with you, so how about I just post them all with a bit about them and leave it at that. It is Christmas Eve and all…
If you hover over the pictures, a short description will pop up, as always! You can also click on the pictures to see them larger.
The Holiday Gift Shop at the girls’ school was at the beginning of the month. It went quite well. Vada had fun playing in my booth while waiting for things to wrap up at the end of the day.
I am working on getting into the new swing of things around here. I have been much more busy, but very happy. It is a lot of fun working with yarn companies and publications! After taking the littles to school, I spend the school day in the basement, working on patterns and samples, and paperwork. OK, the paperwork is not tons of fun, but the rest is! Usually about twice a week I do have to go our for errands, such … Read more
