I So Totally Lied

Shelley — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 07:23:06 +0100

By the time I'd posted my blog entry the other day my fingers were itching to knit and I walked into my studio thinking I'd get started on that scarf … except I'd forgotten to print off the pattern or even check which size of needles to use. I also realized I wanted something that could feel finished a little faster than a mammoth scarf - my other projects right now are all pre...

Scrappy Square

I started crocheting a blanket last night.

Actually, since I'm still learning to crochet, I started it a few times.

Once I got going it was really fun. Crochet has a nice rhythm to it. I've had this blanket in my head for a while now. I wanted to use up all my scraps of worsted weight yarn somehow so I thought I would start crocheting them together. I was going ...

Erin's Scraps

My quilt survived the wash ... and feels wonderful and warm. I am wrapped up in it as I write. That trip through the washer completes my reasoning for this quilt. I'm not sure if you can really create a quilt out of laziness but that is how this one started: I had this lovely bag of scraps from Erin but I wanted to wash them before they went into my stash and I was just too lazy to wash an...

The Last Repeat

I am, I hope, on the very last pattern repeat for my Hemlock Ring blanket. This project seems to have been taking forever but that's just because my knitting time is a little curtailed at the moment - Abby and yarn do not mix well. It hasn't been very well documented on here because, well, it basically looks the same as it did in does in the first picture but bigger and slightly lumpie...

A Bed for Abby

When we decided to get a puppy there were things I was expecting: getting up and going outside at absurd hours and frigid temperatures, discovering whole categories of 'edibles' that I had never considered, pockets that smell like dog treats, less craft time, etc. It had not really occurred to me that a puppy would inspire large amounts of new sewing but I've finished another dog project and am planning more.
