The border includes 2 rows of SC and is finished with Crab Stitch. Dimensions (including border):Baby: 36.5” x 43.5”Throw: 50.5” x 61”Twin: 67.5” x 90”…

Greeting From the Far Side.
Hi. I’m alive. And quite well. I’ve decided today was the day to write a blog. I had some guilt about my hiatus, thereby extending it further. Which is all absurd, because blogging is not compulsory. And the guilt was misplaced. As it happens I’ve been not really doing a lot of social media posting.…

YOP 2023: 5-7/52
It seems like those first four consecutive weekly posts were a fluke! Last weekend I had a stomach thing, I think food poisoning. So that shot last weekend. But honestly, 2023 has been pretty slow to FINISH stuff. UNTIL TODAY. Today I finished the knitting of this massive scarf, including undoing all 292 cast-off stitches…

Giving Quilting a Chance
My least favorite part about sewing is cutting. Quilting is A LOT of cutting. This is the reason I haven’t done much quilting beyond my two rudimentary quilts and a few table runners. The Cricut Maker cuts fabric. And there are two free ready-to-make patterns in the Cricut database. I opted to try the slightly…

YOP 2023: 3/52
You know what I’m bad at? Going to the Post Office. I can FORCE myself to go when I have DEADLINE specific things like Etsy Orders or holiday cards. But in general I find it REALLY difficult to just go. I don’t hate going. I just struggle to make the time to just do it.…

Free Pattern- Giant Squishy Scarf of DOOM
I feel guilty calling it a pattern; its so easy. Its not a pattern. Not really. Its literally garter stitch. ALL GARTER stitch. But I’ve done the work so I can tell you the finished dimensions, needle sizes, and how much yarn you need. NO guessing. Project Backstory Because this is the internet and bloggers…

YOP 2023: 2/52
I don’t have any real progress to report. None of my patterns have been released yet, although many of them are just patiently waiting to be. This is me just getting sidetracked instead of sitting down and JUST DOING IT. I think I should add “Just do the task” to my YOP goal, for my…

WIP-it Wednesday! #1
It’s the first Wednesday of the new year, and I decided to introduce structure to my posting schedule! Back in November I started a fingering weight scarf. Short Shawl?? Anyway, after 6 weeks I finished the body. I spent HOURS trying to find the RIGHT border. Today I found “the one”, cast-on, and am 3…
