Red Nick’s Fancy Hat!

About two and a half years ago my brother’s girlfriend Michelle reached out to me. She works as a costumer and shopper in Hollywood, dressing characters in movies and shows like Death Wish, The Morning Show, and All Rise, for example. She had gotten a job on this exciting movie with some big-name celebs, theyContinue reading “Red Nick’s Fancy Hat!”

My 2023 wrap up… making & doing

I’ve thought of 2023 as Senior Year of the pandemic. Not because there’s any graduation or ending in sight, just because it was the fourth year, and I feel like we’ve all grown and changed so much since 2020, or Freshman Year. 2023 was a bit rough—it’s the year I finally got covid—and it’s alsoContinue reading “My 2023 wrap up… making & doing”

First VIP club 2016 hat pattern: Provocateur!

The first leethal VIP club hat mini-mystery-knit-a-long happened early this month, beginning on February 2nd and (the mystery) ending last Tuesday the 9th.  The KAL continues a bit, as knitters can still post their projects to the forums, since a one-week KAL is so quick, but there’s no more mystery.  The hat, Provocateur (ravelry link),Continue reading “First VIP club 2016 hat pattern: Provocateur!”
