I’ve been slowly working on a hat and some wristlets for a couple of weeks… Funny how other mundane things (like mopping and dinner.. ;o/ ) seem to intrude on the more important things in life.. (like knitting, sewing and spinning..;o) Back in 2010, son Phil and my wonderful DIL Loretta traveled to Earth Guild [...]

I’ll bet your bookmark [...]

This is another of those things that I found online several years ago. I made one and let it set in my knitting box for years. I cannot tell you where I found because I really don’t remember. If you have any idea who came up with this wonderful idea I would love to know [...]

After I made the rose petal soap not long ago, I found myself using one of my larger face cloths for a fingertip towel to dry my face… It felt so much better than a terry towel that I immediately found myself knitting some more. I’ve tried several different patterns, but I personally like the [...]

Confessions of a Fiber Enthusiast … that’s my buddy Pat Blankenship. She’s been a knitter/spinner/all around fiber person for about 25 years. In all honesty, I think we both should rename our sites “Confessions of Fiber Obsessives!” ;o) Pat has designed her own shawls and has now turned her attention to hats. This is [...]

This time last Saturday I was on my way to Van Alstyne, TX with my friend Pat. It was my first time to attend a spin-in and the first time to Apple Leef Farm. What a lovely day! I had no idea there was such a well stocked spinning shop anywhere in the vicinity. Leef [...]

Christmas is coming … I can’t imagine where the time goes. Anyway.. there have been several requests for the Dale Earnhardt, Sr. crocheted afghan. It took a little searching, but I have found it again. We should all give Cindy Murray a huge hand for this… I’m sure it was terribly time consuming. [...]

I have put several free patterns that were created by me up on this site. They were uploaded with the thought in mind that others might like to use them. If they are used for personal use… that’s great. If they are used to sell the products ..well… I hope millions are made, all the kids are sent to [...]
