Flickr Inspiration: Crocheted Potholders, and SWAP!
I have to admit, if you had asked me a couple of years ago what my thoughts were about crocheted potholders, I would have looked at you funny. “Crocheted potholders? Really? I can’t imagine they’d be very exciting.” Then I caught a glimpse of a potholder swap on Flickr, and saw the error in my [...]

So. Much. Yarn.
While I haven’t been buying a lot of yarn lately, the yarn I’ve bought in the last year or so hasn’t received the photoshoot it deserved. Mostly because our old apartment didn’t really have a good spot to take a really good yarn shot. (Yes, there is such thing as a good yarn shot). Now [...]

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 [...]

Flickr Inspiration: Ishbel Scarf or Shawl
I’m still working on the rainbow Tulips baby sweater for the State Fair. I hit a slow patch with the vast amounts of i-cord edging, but picked up momentum once I had the first sleeve on the needles. Now I have just one more sleeve to go! It’s looking really cute, but I’m so close [...]

Flickr Inspiration: February Lady Sweater
I’m a bandwagon jumper. I admit it. If a bandwagon rolls on by, I’ll be hopping on the back, trying to find a seat. Which means, of course, that the February Lady Sweater bandwagon has got one more passenger. Can you blame me? Look at some of the gorgeous sweaters people have made form this [...]

Flickr Instpiration: Craft Room Daydreaming
While I love our current apartment, I can’t help thinking ahead to that day in the (very) distant future when Mr. Martini and I can purchase a house of our own. Somewhere we can paint the walls, plant a garden, and pound nails in the walls without fear of a lost security deposit. OK, maybe not [...]
