Right on track

So a little more about the Marilyn sweater before I move on. I realized I talked about the divots but did not show (or attempt to show what I meant). So here goes my attempt.
Also to talk a little more about my favorite new addition to the wardrobe (no I have not worn it twice [...]

Got the rest of the pattern

So I was able to get the rest of the pattern for the sweater and was so very happy. I immediately went to work knitting away. It was interesting because the way I did the decreases for the bust gather (and I’m not saying I did not follow the patter directions, just my execution may [...]

Look ma, no pattern

My sister complains that I do not update enough for her to keep up with my projects. Well part of that is sometimes the projects do not give me enough to talk about. I mean what if I was to say just make the same dress pattern over and over again. Oh yeah I did [...]

Pants!

So as the current state of my room indicates, (I’m lucky no one can see it, besides a select few) there has been more sewing. The main reason that there are spurts of sewing is that with the limited space, the machine if always out turns the room into an obstacle course. This time I [...]

Great Barrier Gloves

Wow I’ve gotten busy and have not taken the time to post the many projects I have finished. So I figure now is the time to get on that. So what to share first (well I suppose something I have pictures of would be a good thing).

Sidenote of amusement: I was [...]

A murder of stitches

A murder you say?  Oh I mean you say, “a murder you say?”.  Well I was trying to be clever.  I think I may have succeeded, but I may just be deluding myself.  So I spent about 3 whole minutes trying to think of a title for my discussion of learning to crochet?  And to [...]

Questions that should not be asked

So since yesterday I got indications that I may be further from the center of the spectrum of normality than I had previously thought.  It begins with socky and the other green sock.  I decided to wear them to work with my khaki skirt and olive green shirt.  My boss Stella goes, its great that [...]

Welcome.

As a 20 something living in a metro area, I enjoy relaxing with creative projects. I sew, I knit, I quilt, I make curled paper ornaments. Basically- if it’s crafty I will give it a try.
My sister often encourages and feed into my crafty projects (especially since she has an adorable son who is too [...]
