first ever Quick Knits Club!

First, to kind of go along with the beginning of the club, I started a leethal ravelry group!  It started out leethal quick knits specific, but then I decided to change it to a general leethal group, so that’s that! Most everyone who joined the first month of the leethal quick knits club should haveContinue reading “first ever Quick Knits Club!”

leethal “recipe” – Grilled Breakfast Quesadilla

I’ve become a little obsessed with this meal lately, working (and eating) at home every day – George Foreman grilled quesadillas are super easy, healthy(ish) depending on your filling choices, and so delicious!  You need a GF grill big enough to fit your tortilla, or else you can fold one tortilla in half and makeContinue reading “leethal “recipe” – Grilled Breakfast Quesadilla”

Book Review: Crochet Adorned

I haven’t been much of a crocheter for the last few years, but I’ve felt pushes here and there lately to get back into it – and Linda Permann‘s new book is a huge push!  Full of not-too-intimidating, smallish crochet projects, which then get combined with fabric or clothing to make bigger pieces, there areContinue reading “Book Review: Crochet Adorned”

Book Review: Sock Innovation by Cookie A

One of the books I got signed was this one right here, and Cookie A was super nice and encouragedContinue reading “Book Review: Sock Innovation by Cookie A”

My own personal Best of Portland!

10/22/2011: I’ve been living here in Portland for over twice as long now as when I wrote this post, so perhaps an update would be nice, eh?  Most of the places I loved back then, I still love (or at least like) now, but I’ve made many new discoveries, and some things have changed… asContinue reading “My own personal Best of Portland!”

leethal “recipe” – Coffee Soda Pop!

The first in my new blog category of leethal “recipes”!  These “recipes” are in quotes because they’re not meant to be normal recipes – working at home all day, I get creative in the kitchen like I do with yarn and fabric, so I want to start sharing my weirdo ideas and inspire you tooContinue reading “leethal “recipe” – Coffee Soda Pop!”

Just a few things I want to share with you… First, Amanda of Bread and Badger‘s new ebook: Crafting a Modern Press Release, for sale in her etsy shop!  I was lucky to get to take a press release workshop with Amanda through Trillium a few months ago, and now everyone can learn from herContinue reading “some cool stuff!”
