Score Free Yarn Knitting for Charity
A couple of weeks ago, someone shared a fabulous incentive to do some charity knitting – free yarn. Granted, charity knitting is awesome on its own. It lets most of us who love to knit do something we love, and someone else gets to stay warm thanks to our desire to play with sticks and [...]
Blast Off Cardigan and Hat
Since my niece’s baby shower is this weekend, I worked like mad over the weekend to get her other gift ready. She lives in upstate New York, so you know I had to knit something cuddly and warm for her wee one: Pattern: Blast Off Sweater by Carri Hammett (Rav Project Link), size 6-9 months [...]
FO: Quest Cloche
My knitting mojo has been hit or miss lately. I’ve had a few more knitting failures than I would like. In fact, the hat I’m about to show you started out as a knitting failure. It’s amazing how I regrouped and discovered I loved this hat just by wearing it a little differently. Pattern: Quest [...]

This one flew off of the needles. I absolutely love this pattern, and have this same hat in a differnent color. But [...]
FO Friday: Amanda Hat in Mmmmmalabrigo
I can’t believe I didn’t post about this hat sooner! I finished it months ago (July!) in Chicago, but just never got around to writing up a finished objects post. Weird! You’d think I had other things on my mind, like moving out of state or something. Pattern: Amanda Hat by Gina House (Ravelry link) [...]
