I’m Knitting!
I’m actually making something that will amount to something larger than a dishcloth, but with more shape than a scarf!!
The first question is… what?
I found this cute pattern, it looked easy enough — didn’t require circular needles, and I have the size it DOES call for. I’ve been wanting to make a tank for my […]
Yay! I’ve just finished up my oldest DD’s tank top.
DH says it’s too wide, so I see some altering in my future, but she loves it!
She loves the color — which is awesome, since she is the one that picked it out.
She loves how it feels against her skin (Another […]
I’ve got pictures!
Yay — I finally snapped and uploaded the slipper pictures.

I’m currently working on this bag, and will start on this one ASAP! I’m looking for a project bag, since the one I currently use is too small for much of anything. I think I need something that holds more than one […]
T has just whipped out a shawl for his grandmother. I can safely guesstimate that it took him roughly 5 hours from start to finish!
I’m not sure picture picks up the detail, but it’s very pretty!
He’s started on his aunt’s gift: a poncho!
He needs a yarn run!!! He’s shopping out of my stash, […]
T and I are working on ghans!
Pics are clickable.
Here’s his:
Here’s mine:
I squeezed this ghan into my to-do list. My StepDaughter is expecting, and I thought she’d like something handmade for her baby.
She doesn’t know the gender, but she’s calling it “she”… mainly because she has 2 boys and *really* wants a girl this time, […]
T is officially crocheting! Yup yup — he made two practice squares that we’ve lovingly dubbed, “Thing One” & “Thing Two”
may05/turner_with_things_one_and_two
He’s working on a simple single crochet scarf. He’s so proud, as am I! I think he’s really got the bug!
Now, soon, he’ll have to have his own yarn stash! […]
I was so excited to try the halter on R this morning, but I didn’t know I was going to have to fight with her.
I finally got it on her with lots of “Oh, you’re so pretty. Mommy made you a really pretty shirt with crochet!“
But she wasn’t going to allow a camera around […]
That’s right — square number four is done!!!
I used pastels and a vintage variegated yarn for this one. I used this pattern, which may be hard to make out on my version, due to the light colors, but I know what it is!
This square represents babies that my husband and I have lost. […]
Wowee wowee! I’ve finished number 3!!!
This is supposed to be for my stepson. I was aiming to make it more masculine. Did I deliver?
Oh, if it looks discolored in places, it’s because the square is wet.
This square started out with a pattern, but at round 8, I got confused, (hint: this happens […]
Yeehaw!
Now, I’d love to tell you the name of the pattern, but I can’t — because I started off with a real pattern, got confused about halfway through and just winged it from there!
I can say that the original pattern can be found here.
Here’s a pic:
I’m now a week ahead of the game!
Today, I plan to […]
