Stay tuned for stripes…

Exciting news, my crafty kitties!
I know this here blog has slacked on releasing new designs, projects, and patterns this fall; but I’m about to make up for a bit of that.
Here is a small sneak peak at one of a few designs I will be featuring here next week.
The items range from scarves and cowls [...]

In a Pickle with Heidi and Anna…all while wearing delicious vests!

I am, no doubt, absolutely obsessed with Pickles. Yes, I do mean the spicy, vinegary cuke treats–but more importantly, for the purposes of this here site, the beauteous Pickles blog, a Norway-based blog that also features a shop of yummy yarns and patterns.
If you haven’t made the Pickles blog a daily reading habit, what are [...]

Happily ever…aff…ghan?

My brother, Bryce, finally got hitched.
And instead of all that traditional registry hoo, my sister and I decided to make them up something they could keep generations of “Wolves” warm in for years to come–the first family heirloom of the Wolf children clan.
So, we feverishly took to crocheting up a wave-style afghan for the couch [...]

When life gives you corgis…crochet, will you?

When crocheted blankets lie around with ends un-weaved in, the corgi, Sir Winston Churchill, is in heaven.
So politely tangling himself into comfy nap position, he slept. And slept.

Yes but no! but Yes!

Yes, but no!, but yes! is right, for sure.
Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. This is bacon being knitted. Not a cool pattern mimicking bacon, but the actual pork product knitted up on chopsticks.
I’ve now seen it all. You can read about it at Yes, But No, But Yes! (The knitted bacon actually [...]

I do feel skinny in this afghan…

A whole while bck–circa last December–I was in a frenzy to crochet up these extra long, super bulky, and wacky colored scarves for everyone I knew. And I’ve finally properly photographed the delicious neck sweaters (they so long and bulky you might as well be wearing a sweater that’s how warm they are) and thought [...]

Spoken soft to me…I conjured up my own Bobble Boss!

Always one addicted to the beautious designs of my fellow knitting and crocheting compatriots across the interwebs, I recently fell absolutely in love with the work of a one Softspoken (which I mentioned at Kraftworkin’ awhile back, as well as bought one of her beautiful crochet berets a week or two back), and that is [...]

These colors sure aren’t “square”…

More amazing photos of the “Not So Square” granny afghan I’m slowly working on. Every couple of nights, I’ll take to making a few more circles, in the hopes of getting toward 70 for the throw of sorts I desire to make.
You can check out even more photos of the progress on “Not So Square” [...]

It’s Monday Night…and I’m avoiding that afghan again…

Because I clearly have issue finishing a project before beginning yet another one, and because I am avoiding the fact that my Come Monday Night (which came a long time ago…and went) afghan might soon involve a major hunt to find more skeins of the yarns used (eek! why do I always start an afghan [...]

Chain me up! I’ve started a new project…

Even thought I have a whole host of projects to finish up, last night I cast on a new one inspired by some summer scarves I’ve seen around the internets, particularly Soft Spoken’s Chain Drop Circles Scarf (apparently the brilliant designer Rachel is a former librarian who turned to creation to make $$ after librarianship [...]
