Stash Busting
New Shop: Sweeter Lemon Destash
I discovered something very important about myself recently. I am not a fabric stasher. Or rather, I do tend to stash fabric, but I don’t really use it. Instead, I get a brainstorm for a project, and then I go out and buy new fabric for it, completely ignoring the piles of fabric I already [...]

Destash!
Hey folks – I’m getting a little overwhelmed with fabric and yarn! Time to clean house a bit and destash. I just posted some sock yarn and fabric precuts for sale, and wanted to give you a heads up. The fabric available includes charm packs like this one – Bliss by Bonnie & Camille for [...]

Ishbel Beret, and a Swift Lesson
Remember the cute Ishbel beret I had started, that I was all excited about? How I was making it as a way to make myself feel better after the failure of the Backyard Leaves scarf? Let’s just say, I got ahead of myself and knit a few rounds without realizing that I needed to shift [...]

We work downtown near Riverside park, so I took a quick walk and took a few photos, both with the fancy-pants [...]

Stash Busting Update
Well, shoot. I went and signed up all official-like for NaBloPoMo (see sidebar) and what happens? I get called out of town for a few days, and can’t post. Oh, well. Instead of ditching the idea, I’m just going to continue on with the posts as if nothing has happened. Onward! Except… Well, since I [...]

Whoops!
Here I thought I was being so organized. But I forgot something I needed to add to my current stash for the 101 in 1001 goal: a Tulip baby sweater kit, with about 250 yards of yarn in it. Humph. I’ve updated my spreadsheets, and even made this handy-dandy chart showing my progress to date: [...]
