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 […]

Scarves and stress relief

Two posts in one night! I thought about waiting until tomorrow to post this one, but I’d rather get it done before I forget. A few weeks ago, A Yarny Robin had a yarn giveaway for her two year anniversary, and I was the winner! She sent me this lovely, sparkly, alpaca yarn from Louisa Harding. […]

Infinity ripple scarf

I have finished the Data panel and only need to weave the ends in and take photos, but that will have to wait until later today. I’m putting off doing the ends because I really don’t like that part, and because I’ve been bitten by the inspiration bug and have been bursting with ideas. It’s […]

Pink Pineapples and Pokemon

About a year ago my daughter decided she liked pineapples. She already liked them to eat, but now she liked them as decoration.She started planning her ultimate dream home by the beach, with pineapple figurines and pineapple patterns on pretty much everything. But in a tasteful way, of course. There isn’t too much in the way […]

Granny Square Day 2016

I’m still floundering around on Instagram, brand new and all shiny, but I’m having fun looking at what’s around. I like being able to pop something up there as I’m making it, rather than waiting to have enough for a post here. It helps me feel like I’m doing things, because stuff can be seen by […]

WIP it! WIP it real good!

In my last post I shared a photo of one of my many WIPs, a green and white granny square blanket that I started some time last year. It was something that I was making for me, knowing that I would be keeping it and not maybe gifting it. Most of what I make is […]

Easy like Sunday morning

It has been a rough, rough week. I’ve had a lot of pain earlier in the week, thanks to twisting my knee more than it wanted to (or should) go, and then a lot of parenting stress as we continue to work through my daughter’s anxiety issues. I didn’t feel like trying to follow a […]

Star Trek CAL – Beverly Crusher

I’m still reeling from the Outlander season 2 finale right now, so I thought it would be a good time to get this post out. I had to wait for my daughter to go bed before I could watch it, as So-Ho changed the time it aired from 8:30 to 7:30, which bugged me greatly. […]

Simple slippers

This falls under the “ish” part of Nerdish delights. Winter is here and my daughter’s feet turn into icicles. Though she delights in torturing me with them, I had to do something about it. I found this pattern for quickie slippers and had her choose the yarn. I did have to redo them a few times, as […]
