Heb. 4:12

For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12

On The Watch!

Jan­u­ary 25, 2010- The Spider’s Silk — g08 Jan — Did you know that the spider’s silk, if enlarged to the size of a foot­ball field is strong enough to stop a jumbo jet in flight?!!! Awe­some!

Crochet Projects

I can’t believe it!!

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 […]

Many Tanks!

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 […]

Slippin’ in to say ‘Hi!’

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 […]

Shawl we dance?

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, […]

Attack of the Ghan!

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, […]

It’s a Mother’s Day miracle!

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! […]

Model on strike! Bring in back up.

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 […]

Ein, Zwei, Drei, Vier!!!

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. […]

Square #3 is done!

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 […]

Square #2 is done!

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 […]
