The. Snowflake. Shawl!

November 29, 2008 | 3 Comments

I’m an early riser. Anywhere between 5 and 6 AM my body just jumps out of bed. Usually takes my head a few minutes to catch up, look at the clock, argue with my body about what my eyes are seeing on the clock and finally, succombing to the fact that I am, indeed, awake.
This [...]

Lookie, lookie what I found! A snowflake headband, ear warmer pattern! Isn’t this pretty! And easy too, and Free!
In my continuing quest to find you all the snowflakes I can (this originally started out because I saw a snowflake shawl that was just gorgeous) and because I think snowflakes are just cool, I hit on this [...]

So, what are you doing this Thanksgiving Day? (other than the whole turkey thing?) You’re giving thanks for all of the [...]

Let The Fur Fly…

November 22, 2008 | 1 Comment

While searching for the perfect project to start my 3 pre-teen granddaughters on, Be Still And Knit boldly marched right up and saved me!
Isn’t this too fun? And talk about a stash buster, knit on size 13 needles, it would be a pretty quick knit also.

Handpun Yarn From……

November 21, 2008 | 3 Comments

Recycled Newspapers? Why not? We spin anything from anything, but this is truly unique. Apparantly, this person can get about 20 yds of yarn from a sheet of newspaper. You can read the article here:
