Angela, Ashley, Cami, Christina and Lesa were kind enough to give me the ‘you make my day’ award. Thank you for the award and to all my readers everywhere! I’m just excited that a few people find my craft world interesting enough to follow.
The rules of the award read: “Give the award to 10 people whose blogs bring [...]

I finished the knit boucle scarf for my mom. Even though the pattern was very simple it took a lot longer to make than I’m used to. There are more stitches to the inch compared to crochet and being a slow knitter doesn’t exactly speed things along.
When I did finally finish the knitting I still wanted to embroider [...]

This is a small sample of the Progressive Pattern Stitch Afghan with Bernat Baby Coordinates Sweet Stripes. I had some yarn left over from the Chromium Star Blanket and ended up using one full skein before the warping upper left hand corner got to me.
Maybe a heavy border would help the misshapen corner and plump the size a little. I guess I [...]

Since I’ve only been working on my boucle knit scarf, and any updates on that would bore you to tears, I thought I’d show you my Baby Hat on a Roll. You can read the original post about it on Crochetville.
I didn’t really bother with the gauge and it turned out too small for a my cousin’s baby so now [...]

The word of the day is blustery. It’s very windy here in the tip top corner of the Northwest. I was holding the door ajar for the dog this morning and I actually had to use force to keep it from swinging. It felt like this massive vacuum was pulling the door closed.
You would think with all [...]

There’s a magazine out there called Crafts ‘n Things. Could you believe that they’ve got a collection of crochet patterns tucked between craft sections? This mosaic is just a sampling of the crochet projects included in the February 2008 issue.
The amigurumi doll is titled “Princess Peony”. What a cute name for a doll! As far [...]

I got lost walking around in Seattle today. I’m very good at getting lost but luckily my brother was with me. We were on our way to visit our cousin Erika in South Seattle, but made a pit stop around Pike and 6th to have a look around.
Isn’t this manhole cover pretty? I wanted to take a clear picture but felt kind [...]

This is the product of my first thread crochet stint way back in February 2007. My Grandma graciously gave me her thread crochet hook collection when I told her I had a project in mind, but no supplies. Not only did she donate her steel crochet hooks to my craft cause, she gave me some of her [...]
