Remixed!

You know how I’ve been mentioning since the beginning of the year that I’m working on an ebook? Well, it’s a long process but there’s finally something ready to put out there into the world!

Food adventures from my garden!

Now that food-growing season is coming to an end here in Portland, I want to share with you the goodness that came from my yard this year! My most favorite thing is that the cucumbers were successful, and I tried making pickles for the first time! This was my first harvest, in August – 2Continue reading “Food adventures from my garden!”

My recycled fabric infinity dresses!

I made some dresses! These are infinity dresses, using this tutorial, made with recycled sheets! So, awhile back I had a wedding to go to and I wanted to use it as an excuse to buy a new dress… but after a day of shopping I found nothing I liked, so then my plan changedContinue reading “My recycled fabric infinity dresses!”

My new time-sucking toy is a combined wedding and christmasContinue reading “Having too much fun with my new toy!”

Mystery hat revealed: Terrapin!

Here it is, my mystery hat knit-a-long design – Terrapin (on ravelry here): That above is in a sport weight (Brown Sheep’s Lanaloft Sports Weight), and then below is in a bulky weight (Malabrigo’s Chunky), for a very different look (but I love them both!!): And then there’s a no-buttons version as well, making itContinue reading “Mystery hat revealed: Terrapin!”

Sock Summit (sale), and stuff, yeah!

So, here in Portland, starting today, the second Sock Summit is happening, which is so super awesome, but I still feel a wee bit out of place in the whole scene since I tried to knit a pair of socks last time the Summit happened, 2 years ago, and they haven’t gotten much farther thanContinue reading “Sock Summit (sale), and stuff, yeah!”
