Today I fiddled with the Framer function on Big Huge Labs. There were a lot of tempting options, but I settled on the ‘brushed edge’ for this photo.
The pink butterfly is from the corner of the rain cloud picture I posted on Easter. What looks like a flower is actually a tiny pink butterfly sitting on a blade of grass.

Doesn’t the picture above look like a crochet spermatozoom, perhaps carrying a tiny X chromosome? (And, yes, I did have to look up the singular form of ’sperm’.)
Anyway, Val over at Yarni Gras! has this great tutorial for making marble-enclosed book thongs. Her Crocheted Bookmark calls for yarn and a size F hook. I like this supply [...]

Happy Easter everyone! If you have some extra blog time today, vote for your favorite rain cloud over at Knits and Knots.
*That’s cool* a random fact
Wet air is less dense than dry air with temperature as a constant.

I have more than enough WIPs and computer upkeep to keep me busy, but I just couldn’t resist a few little projects. They are entertaining until all those little ends catch up with you!
Hopefully people are managing with the error in color scheme for the Through Any Window Baby Blanket Tutorial. The corrected tutorial is [...]

I’ve actually had this Bobble Clutch crocheted for about six months now, waiting to be lined. Shocking, I know, but my fear of fabric and thread is hard to overcome. With the “All About Hearts” swap for Swap Swap Gals I decided to make a few purse items in order to force myself to sew. It worked [...]

This Thick Warm Crocheted Winter Hat lives up to it’s title. With front post stitches for insulation, my brother loves how fast this hat warms his head.
I crocheted the Boy Beanie v2.0 for him, also using Red Heart Super Saver in paddy green, but it turned out too tight. I was thinking of trying out the Husband Hat for him, but he requested a [...]

I took a walk around Mountain Lake with my brother today. We wanted to scout out the best campsite since registration is opening up at Moran State Park for the summer season. Quite possibly the best car camping in San Juan Island, WA is located in campsites #126 though #136. They all are on an elevated loop looking [...]

Katrina got her Swap Swap Gals package the other day so now I get to blog about all the super-secret projects I have been working on. It was actually pretty tough to stay mum on so many projects.
And I know there are at least a few of you are thinking, “Finally, she made something besides dishcloths!”
The Brea Bag is the item [...]

Maybe it’s because I spent so much time restitching the border, but I really do like this Lacy Round Dishcloth. I frogged the last two rounds a few times trying to match the pattern to the picture beofre I gave up and wrote my own border pattern.
The directions are clear until round 9 when the pattern directs you to put 9 dc [...]
