Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Are you having a good February? I'm working on a knitting project (of course! But since I haven't gotten to the fun part of it yet, I thought I'd just post a little bit about what I've been up to over the past couple weeks. That will be way more fun! We got some damaged ceilings fixed, so that was exciting for us! And my pattern sales continue to help fund our home improvements, so I say "thank you! If you contributed to this ceiling repair!

Wednesday, January 21, 2015. I know I've posted about this contraption before, and I swear I have no association with the company that makes this thing! But if someone asked me to list my Top Five Tools for Knitters, this would FOR SURE be included. Because really, if you're going to spend a wad of cash on yarn, then invest a whole bunch of your time making something, don't you want to be able to keep that thing looking nice as long as possible? I'll be promoting this giveaway on my Facebook business page.

Thursday, May 28, 2015. We Interrupt This Knitting Blog. I've been up to some stuff, and shockingly, not all of it involves knitting! Take, for instance, learning how to eat. For the first month of their lives, they ate formula out of a tiny bottle. That was pretty easy - stick the bottle in their mouth, squirt a little taste of the formula onto the tip of the bottle, and they figured it out pretty quick. But transitioning to kitten food from a bag? We got new living room furniture last month, and I've b...

http://creamteasandcrafternoons.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Cream Teas and Crafternoons. Saturday, 24 September 2011. Having finished the Charlotte Dress for P last week, it is now time to get on with the project I've had going on for me! It's a lovely Autumn Cardigan, and I'd like to finish it soon, given that we're now officially in Autumn! It's from the Sirdar Tweedie Chunky pattern book. Though I confess I'm not actually using Tweedie Chunky wool, but a nice Aran I spotted a while back. It's a lovely and simple pattern to follow, though when particularly tire...

Making it up as I go...: New Release: Jillian
http://trappingsandtrinkets.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-release-jillian.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Last year, my local yarn shop started carrying a new Dream In Color yarn, Jilly. The colorways were fun and vibrant and I could not resist selecting a few to take home. And then I stared at them for a few weeks thinking, "What am I going to make out of 3 different colors of fingering-weight yarn? I loved hearing that, because it's exactly how I feel about it! Snag the pattern right now on Ravelry. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Quince and Co. Yarns. View my complete profile.

Monday, November 24, 2014. Featured Designer: Kate Martin. One of the reasons the Gift-A-Long is such a fun thing for indie designers to participate in is that we get the chance to discover other designers who are involved in doing the same kind of work.

Please share 3 fun facts about yourself, Kate:. The long process from getting...
