This Saturday, Sept 18th, will be the second official make-a-long, wooo yay!  The first make-a-long, in case you missed it, was April 10th, and I first wrote about the idea here, then posted about the various ways you can participate here.  Scroll to the bottom of this post (under the skirt photos) for a recapContinue reading “2nd Make-a-Long and Skirt I made during the 1st one!”

Tah dah!  It’s the first mini-ebook for my next generation of the leethal quick knits club!  Yay!  The 12 page (computer screen reading friendly) pdf includes these two knitting patterns: Zig-Zag Lace Cup and Circular Needles Hanger…  both have a 20 yard version, which is what you see in the examples, but both patterns alsoContinue reading “Get Organized! leethal quick knits club September 2010!”

Some run-on sentences, food, more food, and stuff…

Wow hey, how’s it going?  Things have been kind of nutso around here!  Mainly, my camera broke a week before a huge freelance photography job was due, my buddy Alex saved me by loaning me hers for several days, and I was able to get the work done (barely), plus another photo job, but hadContinue reading “Some run-on sentences, food, more food, and stuff…”

In an attempt to liven up the ravelry group a bit, I’m trying to organize some kind of leethal knit-a-long over there… It’ll probably be a Buttonhead knit-a-long with encouraged Game Knitting on the hat!  I think the buttonhead design is the perfect kind of pattern to game knit on, with its simplicity and customContinue reading “Knitting-related notes and news and stuff…”

My New Fabric-Covered Box Drawers!

I did a project yesterday!  And it turned out even better than it looked in my head!!  Isn’t it the best thing ever when that happens?! Our house is extremely (embarrassingly?) Ikea-heavy with the decor… so I’ve been trying to find ways to personalize our Ikea, make our home more us.  I got these awesomeContinue reading “My New Fabric-Covered Box Drawers!”
