savers find
Here we go with my love hate with WordPress. I wrote this yesterday but the WordPress monster that sometimes for no reason, deletes everything when you post deleted this post. So one day late- Here’s what I got at Saver’s: A new plastic container, with many, many empty spools and bright embroidery floss. I figure about …
Yarn Harlot
Although I only have knit one thing, I loved Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter. There are so many parallels between knitting and quilting, or really any crafting activity. Her chapters about her stash were hilarious, her frustration with certain patterns was also hilarious. When she triumphantly achieved a new knitting skill after …

Yes, I finished it! I expect I will trim it and sew it onto some kind of back. I think it will eventually be part of a tiny quilt. I started this a long time ago and carried in my purse for several years. Periodically, I would take it out and do a little bit. …
dolls
When I went up to my mom’s we were looking through some old boxes and we found this. It is a doll I made for my sister probably 15 years ago or so. I used an embroidery machine to make the face. The hair I made out of socks. I had some black socks at …
finished scarf- July UFO
Since my last two finishes for June and May were decidedly lame, I am pleased to have finished July with gusto. Since I began this scarf over two years ago, I am proud to complete it. It is obviously a first knitting project, because the first quarter is so tight and wobbly. I am pleased that …
