Yup! My stuffies from Annie’ Knit Animal Friends are coming along, though they are currently stuffies without faces. I’m still deciding on how to go about that. I’ll tell you why I don’t want to do what the patterns recommend in a sec. First of all, the doggie looks much better than the anemic-ly stuff […]
Read More Stuffies Without FacesSo, lately I have been knitting stuffed toys from Knit Animals Friends by Annie’s, and I’m doing finishing work on a bunny and am working on a dog as a follow up.

Read More WIP Wednesday: Knit BunnyHas it really been over a month since I last posted? That’s bad, and I’m guilty of being a bad blogger. To be honest, I needed a break. I was burned out on writing and even a little bit with knitting. I’m a little more re-energized now. I concentrated on a different things, like crocheting […]

It’s awesome to see different people from different departments and how diverse our knitting group is, and not just in skill level. Beginners are certainly welcome […]
Read More Knitting Over Lunch at WorkStitch Mountain: 30 Warm Knits for Conquering the Cold by by Laura Zander is a cool book. I got it in one of the fun bookstores in the Outer Banks, NC, USA a few years ago. I saw the Snowflake Turtleneck pattern in there and knit it, and TOTALLY messed it up. I think I […]

Read More Art and Interacting with KidsI had a Visa gift card for $50.00 that I received as a Christmas gift. I was poking around on Amazon, and it’s unusual that I can’t find anything on there that that I want, so I decided to look around my bookmarks on my web browser to check out other merchants. I saw one […]
