Repair a Vintage Project Basket

Free Beginner Knitting Pattern: Lucy’s Pinktastic Scarf

This scarf is a great for a beginner wanting to try knitting with two colors at the same time. For the more advanced knitter, it’s a simple garter stitch pattern so it’s perfect for knitting while enjoying a movie or waiting for kids to get done with sports. And only 4 ends to weave in on its entire stripy lengeth.

Speaking at 1 Million Cups Ames: Show Notes Edition

On February 17th, I woke up early and headed off to the Iowa State Research Park Core Facility to present my entrepreneurial story to our local 1 Million Cups chapter. I decided to scrap my usual presentation and tell my whole entrepreneurial story. Starting with Craft Leftovers and coming full circle with this year’s launch of my art business this October.

Welcome to Craft Leftovers

We are in the process of restoring the archive post server hack. Please excuse the virtual dust and some out of date content.

I am trying to use up all my leftover craft supplies before I die. I'm an artist and tea shop owner who loves to knit, crochet, and sew. I live on a third acre with my family and our pets: 2 cats, a dog, and 2 chickens in the middle of Iowa. On Craft Leftovers you can find craft patterns, tutorials, recipes, and stories about using up what's on hand. Dig around in the archive, grab a zine, get inspired and make things.
