Making milk liqueurs!

I decided to try out a new thing for fun this year: liqueur-making! Thanks to pinterest, I read how easy it is to make a basic milk liqueur (on Lottie + Doof)… I thought, hmm, maybe I’ll try that someday… and then I came across 2 more recipes and just couldn’t get the idea outContinue reading “Making milk liqueurs!”

Betiko: print pattern, new PDFs, and alternate top stitch pattern!

I’ve got a few updates regarding Betiko to let you know about! First, it’s now a part of my line of print patterns – I managed to get the 27 page pdf to squeeze into a 12 page booklet to keep it at a reasonable print pattern price. There aren’t many photos, but all theContinue reading “Betiko: print pattern, new PDFs, and alternate top stitch pattern!”

Ten minute no-sew recycled t-shirt bag!

Tutorial time! I got a gig teaching a recycled t-shirt project at the library a few months ago, with a request for a recycled tee bag – the only bags I’d made from tees in the past had required sturdy sewing, and I didn’t want hand-sewing to be the only thing holding the bottom closedContinue reading “Ten minute no-sew recycled t-shirt bag!”

Best of 2010 (plus a few wedding photos)!

I made some best of 2010 mosaics! Always fun to do… First, these are most of my knit designs from 2010 – for most months, I only chose 1 of the 2 quick knits club designs, to keep it from getting too big, but all the non-quick knits designs are up there. And a fewContinue reading “Best of 2010 (plus a few wedding photos)!”

Gifts from the past: Printed Shirt and Oven Mitts

Hah, these gifts from the past posts were supposed to happen before xmas, not a month after! Oh, me… Anyway, I grouped a couple of gifts I made using printing on fabric. This is a freezer paper stencil printed shirt I made for my dad, on a thrifted long sleeved tee: I just freehand drewContinue reading “Gifts from the past: Printed Shirt and Oven Mitts”

November 30th – December 31st photos

The last of my photo-a-day project for 2010! I made it through the whole year (missed a few per month towards the end there, but still) and now I am so happy it’s over! I love taking pictures (duh) but I don’t like that every day requirement… it resulted in lots of blah photos whenContinue reading “November 30th – December 31st photos”

January’s quick knits club! Yay books!

This month’s quick knits club theme is Read Books! I chose the theme for two reasons (which kind of go together)… We are getting our home library (old photo) into awesome functioning order – just got a fold-out couch so it can double as a guest room, and so we now have a comfy placeContinue reading “January’s quick knits club! Yay books!”

2011, my year of movies!

Happy new year everyone! One of many things I want to try hard at this year is to watch more films instead of tv shows – I consume a ton of media, while knitting, while editing photos and my website, while doing other crafty things, etc, and most of it tends to be tv showsContinue reading “2011, my year of movies!”

Betiko! Mystery knit-a-long pattern revealed!

Wow it took me many days and many pages longer than expected, but the first leethal mystery knit-a-long pattern is now in normal pattern pdf format (well, maybe not “normal”… it is 27 pages long… but at least it’s all together in one file now)… And the mystery is solved – it’s a shawl! OrContinue reading “Betiko! Mystery knit-a-long pattern revealed!”

Gifts for knitters + super quick last minute knit gifts!

First, I just want to give a quick update to those of you waiting for my new pattern (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can skip this paragraph) – the mystery knit-a-long ended yesterday (well, it didn’t end exactly, since lots of knitters are still working, but yesterday was one week afterContinue reading “Gifts for knitters + super quick last minute knit gifts!”
