I happened across Faye’s Beer Bracelet pattern while I was knitting one of the many incarnations of my Espresso scarf. I crocheted one for myself using her pattern - it uses a really interesting linked treble stitch.
I decided that I just had to knit one to match the scarf, and include it with the swap. […]

For Friday Flowers… a lovely white columbine hosting a guest.

I love the orange and purple together. I had lavender and daylilies at my previous house, so I had […]

Do you think I could train my cat to do this?

I’m finally getting my stash a little better organized. It doesn’t have a permanent “home” yet, so for now it’s just located in the guest bedroom. Our longer-term plans are to clear out some space in the basement where I can spread out a bit more, but until we can find the time to go […]
