I finally got around to replacing the mittens I knit in 2007 and had sadly lost [ in 2009 ]. These aren’t as fancy, but they’re a fast knit and are really warm. Let’s just say they get the job done. I want to make another pair of the
It’s been pretty cold the last few days. I didn’t have any coverage for my ears and I’ve been rocking the old lady shawl [ ie. I took an adorable cowl and figure-eighted it so it acted like a hood too ].
I decided to whip up this bad boy. It’s pretty warm. Not to [...]
I’ve been asked by a few people to provide a tutorial for this lovely scarf I made as a commission by Mark for his mom for Christmas. Which, by the way, I might have to make a few more of because they are really cute. You can snap all 3 snaps, leave some open, mismatch [...]
It’s getting colder outside here in Iowa, but not cold enough to bust out the full-on winter gear.
It’s the season for wrist warmers and convertible gloves and mittens.
One of my favorite men’s patterns is Cigar Gloves from knitty.com. I made a pair for Mark and one for his dad 2 [...]
It’s October, so it’s high time to get started on winter knitting that way the projects are done and ready by the time it really gets cold. I love these Corazon Mittens from Knitty.
It’s not a pattern for beginners. But I picked this project up after only knitting scarves and hand [...]
I realized I’ve not blogged lately. Which is weird. But I have been SUPER busy.
I’ve been crafting up Christmas presents — for my friends and for those who’ve purchased crafty items from my etsy store for the holidays. I’ve been spending the past several days filling a pretty large order of [...]
My friend Molly had her annual Christmas party this year and I was lucky enough to be invited to the festivities. Molly makes the most awesome food and it’s always fun to get together with these girls — usually full-on crazy.
I was really excited to go because I finally got to [...]
I’ve got a Mary Kay facial in about a half hour, so I’m just chilling out and finishing up some stuff and hanging around at work.
Today was really nice out… 30°ish and NO SNOW! I took advantage and ran at noon. BEAUTIFUL out but my body just wasn’t having it. I think I’m sore [...]
I was on etsy.com looking for some super bulky handspun yarn to make a scarf kind of like my friend @daniAWESOME’s scarf .
Anyway, I found a ton of cool yarn… and a ton of other crap I shouldn’t buy.
my average time FINALLY made it under 10 min/mi according to Nike+.
And if you notice, I’m pretty close to 500 miles (since August — I’m about 15 miles away from 1000 since last March).
I ran 7 miles last night between the treadmill and track. Dunno if I’ve mentioned this before, but I [...]
