Resurrected – February Lady Sweater
With the success of the Central Park (non) Hoodie (which still needs to be photographed, I know, I know) I was inspired to pick up my February Lady Sweater. I think the last time I worked on this was a YEAR ago (yup, the last post about it was October 14, 2008!), and at the [...]

Flickr Inspiration: Chawne’s Embroidery
Oh my gosh, you guys, I’m up to my ears in fretting about the move. I’m knitting in the evenings to keep my sanity, but I haven’t taken any pictures because the house is too messy. So today, I’m going to point you towards the amazing crafts of Chawne. She’s one of the people on [...]

Southern Indiana Fiber Arts Festival
This Saturday, I attended my first fiber festival – the Southern Indiana Fiber Arts Festival in Corydon, Indiana. This is me, at the fairgrounds.

Making Room for Crafts
I’m not sure if I mentioned it, between all of the posts of the “my sweater, the sweater, I’m knitting a sweater!” variety – but Mr. Martini and I are moving this month. We’re staying in Louisville, but moving from our shoebox-sized apartment in a cookie cutter complex to the top floor of a duplex [...]

Now You See It, Now You Don’t
Based on the title, I think you can tell which direction I decided to go with the sweater front that just wasn’t quite the right color (go back to this post for details). After finishing the second sleeve, and looking at all of the pieces together, I decided I just couldn’t go forward with that [...]
