To Boldly Go – Star Trek baby blanket

It has been far too long since I last updated here (I’m kinda putting off checking just how long), so it’s high time I updated. The anemia/depression/arthritis mix has really knocked me around, but I’m finally getting better. So I bring to you an update – a new pattern! This baby blanket was a custom […]

A little bit of catching up

I have been meaning to get back into blogging about what I’ve been up to, but this anemia I’m going through (as a result of the horror movie that fibroids is putting me through) has stopped me. I’ve had to start iron injections after 3.5 months of taking strong iron tablets had me well under […]

Adventures in spinning

I have been more than a little neglectful of my blog, mostly due to a big upswing in stress, pain, and insomnia, which always pushes my depression around. It’s possibly the only time my depression does anything quickly! I’m getting a handle on it again, which is helped by managing my pain levels better. I […]

Another Instagram Giveaway!

To say thanks for getting to 900 followers on Instagram, I’m running a giveaway over there, as well as offering 15% off all purchases at my Etsy store until April 15th.  

Flash the Stash

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some photos I posted after I reorganised my yarn stash. I did this a few weeks ago now, fully intending on making a blog post soon after. But with how stress and parenting and life just gets in the way…I didn’t. I’m trying to get […]

Adventures in dyeing

I’ve finally been able to get back onto my computer – my daughter’s computer has been playing up, so I’ve let her use mine for her games and schoolwork. As I was doing most of my internetting on my phone, and sitting for long periods at the computer hurts, I didn’t mind. But I find […]

Yarn giveaway on Instagram

I’ve now passed the 300 follower mark on Instagram and wanted to say thank you, so I’m having a little giveaway over there. This is a gorgeous skein of Ella Rae chunky lace merino yarn. It’s 100g, 110m, and utterly divine. Please check out this post for the rules. • Comment on this post about the […]

Star Trek CAL – Deanna

Look look look! This is the LAST of the people to make up my blanket. I’ve decided against doing the banner for mine just yet – mostly because I don’t have the yarn I need for it and I’m too broke to go buy more – but I will still write up a few banner […]

Just a quick post

Things have been really tough of late (including a trip to the ER for some agonizing sciatica pain), so while I am still crocheting and posting on Instagram, I obviously haven’t been posting here. I do plan on making a few posts soon now that I’ve finished making Christmas presents. I’ve also noticed that I’ve […]

Charmed Gauntlets – Fingerless gloves with POCKETS

I am so excited about these. I’ve been working on these for a while, tweaking and testing and making my daughter try them out and model them for me. She’s been very patient with me for it, so I’m thrilled that I’ve finally got the pattern finished and ready to go. I’m calling these Charmed Gauntlets […]
