You may have noticed, since I first released my connect-the-dots stitch sets in December I haven’t really been mentioning them – well that’s because I’ve been working on a major format update for the last month! (Oh yeah, I actually did mention them back here, but I said I’d be blogging about it later, soContinue reading “New and Improved Connect-the-Dots Stitch Sets!”

A few fun knitterly things!
I was interviewed on a knitting podcast! It’s called Knit Happens, and it’s part of pdx.fm, but we didn’t talk much about Portland-specific things (except to mention that Twisted is my favorite lys!). She asked me about a bunch of different things that I do and have done, so we talked about Game Knitting, theContinue reading “A few fun knitterly things!”
New free photo desktop wallpapers!
So I meant to do this forever ago, but I finally made the time to add a bunch of new photos to my free wallpapers page! I wanted to add some of the crafty shots I took for the Knittn’ Kitten ebook, so while I was at it I made more and more, and IContinue reading “New free photo desktop wallpapers!”
Knitters are the best! Plus, 2009 mosaic…
Wow, the knitters’ response to Knitters without Borders and ravelry’s Help for Haiti has been incredible! I know more established designers have been raising thousands – crazy awesome! I am happy to say that you’ve helped me raise way more than I expected when I put out the word that I’d donate all pattern salesContinue reading “Knitters are the best! Plus, 2009 mosaic…”
January 5th – 16th photos
Well it’s 16 days into the year and I haven’t missed a day yet in my shooting a photo a day plan; haven’t been great about uploading and posting so far though… I’m gonna try to post each week’s photos over the weekend, maybe it’ll become a habit. So here are the last 12 days…Continue reading “January 5th – 16th photos”
Beaded earrings are back!
Hey remember when I was really into making earrings for awhile? Yeah that was fun, what happened?! I don’t know, but a few friends and I had a jewelry party the other night and I made 6 pairs! (I forgot to include the 6th in the line-up because I was wearing them.) I want toContinue reading “Beaded earrings are back!”
thrifty finds: Sweaters and more sweaters!
Last week I took a trip to Value Village and scored a cart full of sweaters! I couldn’t resist these two beautiful fair isle yokes, though I was so excited by their obvious hand-knitted-ness that I didn’t look/feel close enough to realize they’re not wool. After machine washing and drying, I’m assured they are acrylic,Continue reading “thrifty finds: Sweaters and more sweaters!”
First photos-a-day in 2010!
New project for the new year! I plan to take a photo every single day in 2010, mostly of things I’m making, but not necessarily always… I’ve thought about doing this kind of thing for a couple of years, and I think this is a good year to try it! So, I started up aContinue reading “First photos-a-day in 2010!”
Happy 2010 to all!
Oh my, it’s been awhile! I’ve been pretty out of touch with the world since I headed to California for xmas, came back to visitors, then new year’s, and now desperately trying to catch up on everything that fell behind! Goodness gracious! As usual, this year I plan to blog more, so hopefully it’ll reallyContinue reading “Happy 2010 to all!”
Craft a Silly Tote Bag!
Last minute gift idea! I made this grocery bag for a gift for my brother last year – quick, fun, and recycled! Yay! How-to: Find a tote bag to reuse (I thrifted this one at Value Village), and an old t-shirt with a fun/funny image. Cut the tee image out a few inches smaller thanContinue reading “Craft a Silly Tote Bag!”
