This sweet little bunny was first published in the spring of 2008. It’s a unique construction because the base of the little hopper is knit like a heel flap. The first time I made him, I used some vintage acrylic and the last few times I used leftover cotton. You […]
Springy Crocheted Head Wrap
I have been oogling head bands and other things like that to show off my new bangs. It’s the first time in years. There is a problem though, art supplies or hair accessories… hmm… of course the art supplies win out. So what to do about showing off these new […]
Stash Socks
So this pattern completely has to do with impulse buys… Cotton Fine in Rue and Hempathy. Two of my fav yarns and, especially when it comes to the hempathy, I just can resist picking up a skein and feeling it and then, of course, buying it… only one skein. I […]
Think Spring
Oh it is so cold out and I really wanted something to help me think spring. I grabbed some of my spring time colored yarn and had a go at it. I figured a little shoulder bag would be the perfect thing, then I could take it with me wherever […]
Pin Tin Canny!
The table in my studio always has a mix of things on it, often making it difficult to get anything done because of all the clutter. So I decided to make something that would keep it all in one place, straight pins included! I put pens, pencils, scissors, rotary cutters […]
Needle Wrap
I have acquired quite a few felted sweaters and ridiculous blouses with weird patterns from the thrift store over time, just for fun, but I’m trying to clean out my closet and they were something that needed to go… Just a little past their prime. Put that together with the […]
The perfect dishcloth
It’s crocheted, it’s half felted, and it’s just perfect. Download the pattern here (pdf). I just want to be clear about the fact that I didn’t write the stitch pattern. It is a pretty common one and is called an interlocking block stitch. I just thought it was great for […]
Holiday Crafting!
Okay, so things have yet again gotten away from me. But I’m just going to embrace it and gear up for next time. Basically I’m leaving out of town today and this was finals week so everything is nuts and all nighters. But in all of this I do have […]
Christmas Cards
Well, I decided to go ahead with a particularly Christmas craft this time around, which is actually good for me becase I procrastinate like no other. I will post close up shots on the flickr site, you should check them out. If you have any other ideas about making cards […]
This week’s pattern…
Well I just thought I would post a little howdy here to let everyone know that you should look for the pattern on Saturday. I have to work a double shift and then off to pot luck for the artist group I am VP of.. I will be teaching people […]
Scrapy Pillow
Well, I’m not so happy with the colors that I picked out, so I’m going to make another one soon… Maybe with patterned fabric instead of just the plain color. I do like the pattern though. It’s a good way to use up little scraps of yarn and strips of […]
Finally! Patterns again!
edited in: I found my cord, finally… i was getting worried about it, so here is a picture of the stamps that I made (and yes I did make the ultimate mistake of writing the text the correct way and so it is reversed when I stamp it… don’t do […]

I regret to inform you….
Unfortunately I am going to have to postpone this week’s pattern to next week. I am out of town and even though I have the project finished it is going to take a little bit to get it written out (so that way it is not rediculouly confusing). I am […]
