Craft List

I am almost half way done the second spat. I’m pretty sure it’s going faster because I actually know what I’m going to end up with. I had a knitting marathon today, I knitted through the televised Santa Clause parade, I put supper on, and went back to knitting. I felt like a cybernetic knitting [...]

Spats… again…

After almost a week of working on the first spat, all of the black work is done. The only thing left to do is sew on the button and decide whether I am going to knit an i-cord or crochet a lace for the back.
If I knit an i-cord, then I will want to do [...]

The Great Spatterdash Adventure

Yes, Melanie, this post is entirely dedicated to your spats. I am proud of my ingenuity and so I must gush at length. First, let me tell you that the pattern I was using (pattern from Arcane Stick Magic) which was meant for size 9-12 is much closer to a size 9 than a size 12. And [...]

NaCraCreMo

National Craft Creation Month! I’m starting it. I decided it needs to happen, so I am doing it, anyone else who is interested can join. I am thinking that this month is not the best time however, so I am planning it for January. The rules are simple, set a goal for the month and [...]

Crocheted Snow Flakes

I am a huge holiday fan. I admit it freely, I love the winter and Christmas. I love the holiday music, decorating the Tree, baking, everything about the holidays. Anyway, I decided that there are 50 days left until the holiday season starts to end, so I want to get ready. Conveniently enough, prep for [...]

And for my next trick…

For the past two or three days, I have been recruiting my room mate Angie onto the hand-made band wagon. I have toured with her through the wonders of Etsy (including my friend Cheryl’s hand made/painted/bound notebooks,) And she’s started to get really into her own chosen craft of cross stitch. I’m happy, we are [...]

1 and a half days to go!

I don’t really want to sit down and do the math, because in reality it is a much more complicated fraction than a half. It’s almost NaNoWriMo, and I think I am fairly prepared, easy to cook and/or slow cooker delicacies abound, and the house is almost entirely clean and ready for an entire month [...]

Leisure Junky

I have been busy over the past couple of days. Not that I’ve done anything of consequence when it comes right down to it, but I’ve kept myself happy. I’ve managed to look busy, and that’s all that really counts.
I have worked on the aforementioned crochet chain mail scarf, however the yarn that I was [...]

And the crocheted madness continues…

I should preface this post by saying that my most favorite thing in the world to make is a scarf. They are so straight forward that they leave acres of room for creativity. A scarf can also be worn by almost anyone without worry of sizing or style, it doesn’t matter how conservative you are, [...]
