  • A Crafting Update

    A Crafting Update

    Life has kept me busy.  Between work and school, I’ve neglected my crafting.  I’ve made a few things that I don’t want to show here because they are gifts, but overall I hadn’t touched knitting for quite some time.  I’ve got projects that need to be finished.  I’m looking forward to getting in my new…

  • Finished Object Roundup

    Finished Object Roundup

    I’ve finished a lot of small things lately, so it couldn’t wait for a Finished Object (FO) Friday. I’ve been on a crochet kick, so I’ve done some quick crochet hats.  I’ve knit up quite a few small things as well, like a dishrag and a squirrel bib.  I finished the blanket I was knitting…

  • Celtic Myths Shawl is DONE

    Celtic Myths Shawl is DONE

    This has been a project over two years in the making and boy am I happy to be done with this thing. The only thing I have on the needles now is a Gamekeeper Scarf, so I’m going to return back to knitting that and see if I can get through it.  KnitCompanion, my favorite…

  • What Got Done Before the Road

    What Got Done Before the Road

    I’m on the road again. Only for a day, however.  I won’t be long away from my home.  I miss my guinea pig and my bed already. Before I left, I got a lot of crafting done.  Here’s a roundup, in no particular order: I’m still working my way through my Christmas presents list.  I’m…
