Look what’s here! It’s the final piece of my Remixed collection (on ravelry here), the long-awaited Remixed: Making Recycled Yarns ebook, which is included with that collection (with 8 any-gauge accessory patterns) and also available by itself (on ravelry here). I think it’s worth the wait; I ended up putting a lot more into it thanContinue reading “Remixed: Making Recycled Yarns ebook, including Rejuvenation hat pattern!”

Reconstructed hooded cardigan, with cuff tutorial!
I started this project back in October of 2012, worked on it a little bit then, a little bit last spring, and then picked it back up and finished it over the last couple of weeks, finally! Hooray! I’m so excited to show it to you now! I got this ill-fitting but beautiful hand knitContinue reading “Reconstructed hooded cardigan, with cuff tutorial!”
Obligatory TNNA summer 2013 recap post!
The weekend before last I spent 5 days in Columbus, Ohio for the industry trade show of the year for all things fibery and needley. We had a time. I roomed with the fabulous Andrea Rangel (who is pictured above and is the best at colors – check out this palette she rocked one day.) And IContinue reading “Obligatory TNNA summer 2013 recap post!”
thrifty find, part 2: Painted Table!
Almost 2 years ago, I blogged that I found this table at the Goodwill Bins (outlet store) for 3 bucks, and that I had plans to do something to it… I said that hopefully “in a few weeks I’ll be showing you after photos!” A few weeks, hah! Well, after spray painting it yesterday, here’sContinue reading “thrifty find, part 2: Painted Table!”
June’s quick knits club: Thrift! (last club ebook!)

thrifty finds: Best of my Recent Acquisitions!
Pete has a new obsession, I mean hobby, for the last couple of months – men’s fashion! His used-to-be comicy blog has turned into a record of his clothing finds, all scored at thrift stores all over town (and outside town), most of which I’ve accompanied him to, where I’ve scored some finds of myContinue reading “thrifty finds: Best of my Recent Acquisitions!”
From Thrifty Finds to Crafty Lamp!
A couple of years ago I came upon a bag of granny squares at the Goodwill bins! Score! No two colorways alike, they were obviously handmade, the start to a project that was never finished: I washed them, then they sat there for 2 years, waiting waiting waiting for a project… and then I gotContinue reading “From Thrifty Finds to Crafty Lamp!”
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!”
thrifty finds: End Table!
Took a trip to the Goodwill Bins today and scored this awesome Mid-Century Modern style end table! It’s not high quality – faux bois laminate type surface, a bit wobbly – but it was $3!! Three dollars!! Pretty beat up, but I’m hoping this will be my before post and in a few weeks I’llContinue reading “thrifty finds: End Table!”
