It’s true what they say (and I’m completely guilty!); dog owners treat their pets like children. My hubby and I are no different. If Crosby wants on the couch, we make room for him; if he wants on the bed, my husband shares his pillow; so basically what Crosby wants, Crosby gets. For now this is perfectly fine with us. …
WIP Wednesdays
The blue blanket is coming along nicely and more quickly than expected (too bad it’s not photographing well)…. The hat that I had started last week, well I did change my mind. I wanted a cowl much more than a hat. I’m not quite sure how much yarn I’ll need so I’m knitting it on straight needles then I’ll seam …
WIP Wednesdays
I’ve completed a few projects in the last few weeks that I haven’t posted, oopsies. First was the completed (finally!!!) Purple Baby Blanket… then there was Edgar the Elephant….. And then there were a few Christmas Ornaments…. The stocking is a little bit too big, especially in the toe area so I’ll be making it even tinier. I’ll be using …
Milton’s LYS
I was always terrified of buying yarn from a LYS (local yarn shop). I would browse online for luxurious, non-acrylic yarn but would never purchase any because I had no idea how they felt. I had always wanted to buy the expensive stuff but feared that once I started I would never go back to acrylic and in turn bankrupt …
Making a Gorgeous Stitch Marker
I usually only talk about knitting and I like reading about knitting. More importantly, I like knowing the process people go through when coming up with patterns and new ideas. So I thought I’d let you in on my process. Not for knitting (that will come later) but rather for making gorgeous stitch markers. So here’s my thought process. 1. …
Eeek Mold
Well I’m not sure if it’s mold, it’s more of a bad water stain(I just like being dramatic). On Thursday we found a nice size water stain underneath our night stand in our upstairs bedroom and a small stain on the ceiling. It looked horrifying and I refused to take pictures of it, so I have none to show you. …
WIP Wednesdays
I’ve been working on my Etsy shop these past two weeks. A new banner, new listings, being more active in teams and forums. The new listings I’m talking about are stitch markers. So my knitting projects have been temporary put on hold. I still work on them just not as much as I would like to. Here’s are the items …
Happy Anniversary
Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our first year anniversary. Yup, we are no longer newlyweds. My in-laws came over to celebrate, we had an awesome BBQ. Chicken, shrimp, short ribs, corn, garlic bread, and salad; all incredibly delicious. I most definitely ate too much but it was worth it. And the best part was a chocolate mousse cake. Oh …
Niagara Falls
It’s almost a year now that my husband and I have been married. Seems like just yesterday we had 10 people trying to cram into our small 3 bedroom house while I was trying to get everything ready for the big day. To celebrate my in-laws sent us to Niagara Falls for the weekend. I’m not so sure it was …
WIP Wednesdays
I’m finally getting the hang of using DPNs, so all of today’s WIPs were started (and finished soon) using DPNs. The basic baby hat has a simple K1, P1 ribbing followed by a stockinette stitch all the way to the crown. I’ve been testing out a few different patterns for baby mitts. The first is a seed stitch border with …
