A Lesson in Yarn
“Something Good” Sunday The lead up to what is “good” this week involves a mini-lesson on a particular brand of yarn that knitters and crocheters covet. The name of the yarn company is Rohrspatz & Wollmeise. The company is based in Germany. I did a quick Google search on the English translation of the name… →

Not So Basic
What’s a skill you consider basic, that most people don’t actually know how to do? I wasn’t going to answer this question today. But the thing I was going to post in its place is better for tomorrow. So I’m coming back to it because I actually need your help with something related to this.… →

Chaos and Spam
Is a little chaos actually good for us? I’m a crafty person. I knit, I crochet, and because I do that, I have a lot of yarn. I also have a community of yarn friends on Ravelry that often talk about the same thing at one point or another, and that is…organizing our craft room/yarn… →

Fun Fur and a Tattoo
Movie/music Monday Since I have dubbed Mondays as the day I post about movies and/or music, I think it’s appropriate to share the 2nd outfit from the Harry Styles Desk Goose Collection that I’m developing.

Golden Girls Summer
Screenshot Saturday This week’s screenshot was saved on July 3, 2021. The summer after Covid. I saved it because that year, my online knitting group returned to holding our annual summer knitting “camp”. We couldn’t have it during 2020 because of Covid and the shutdown. But we came back with a vengeance the next year.… →

Obsessed
“Something Good” Sunday I have been obsessively working on my granny square sweater this week. Last night I started the second sleeve. I fully intend to spend most of my day today parked on the couch finishing it. You can’t have a better “something good” than that! Here’s a sneak peek of the one sleeve… →

So Much Yarn!
Last night, Josh went to bed around 9:30. The cats were more than likely snuggled up with him. The dogs were knocked out on the couch. Though I was also tired, I decided to stay up for a little while. There’s just something satisfying and peaceful about being the only one awake in the house.… →

“What’s on your needles?”
5Ws Wednesday This is a common question that knitters get asked. It just means, what knitting project are you working on right now? OTN is a popular abbreviation when putting into words what you’re working on. You might say, “I have a short-sleeved sweater OTN”. However, this doesn’t really work if you’re talking about a… →
