Have you seen the September 2010 issue of Yarn Forward???
(yes, I KNOW it’s only the middle of July… and YES… the SEPTEMBER issue IS out already)
Anyway… it features one of my knitting patterns!
I’m such a newbie to the world of print publication… and this is all so wildly EXCITING to me!!! The hard part though, [...]
The embellishing of the crochet hook case with scrap embroidery thread continues…
Who knows where it will end???
Added a vibrant green to my ripple blanket…
I was so sure that I had taken a photo of the original jumper, but can’t seem to find it anywhere.
It was beautifully hand knit, but had never been worn.
I can imagine that very few people would look good in this particular shade of green.
In small doses, [...]
Some days I feel super creative… I’m driven to push boundaries, and work outside my comfort zone.
Other days I just like to stick to the straight and narrow.
No prizes for guessing which zone I was in when I started embellishing the crochet hook case…
Please don’t breathe a word of this to Mr Goldfish… but I have a terrible time trying to remain monogamous.

Isn’t she a treasure???
This is the best hook storage system that I have ever used.

Pocket 1 contains bits and pieces – wool needles, scissors, gauge ruler, tape measure, etc.
Pocket 2 contains my 3mm and 4mm hooks
Pocket 3 contains the [...]
Thanks for all the wonderful feedback on my new ripple project.
There’s only been a tiny bit added since the other day.
I think it’s going to be one of those long term projects. I don’t expect it to be finished this winter, but it WILL be done by next winter.
Part of the delay has been that [...]

I’ve tried and tried and tried.
Perhaps I am missing that all important “plastic fusing gene”… it’s just not part of my brain’s chemistry
I seem to end up with holes like these:
and part which don’t fuse like this:
Can anyone help me with where I am going wrong???
I’m using plastic bags which are [...]
Remember when I went away on my crochet retreat?
I packed all the essentials before I left…
I had BIG PLANS to piece together my 2009 square-a-month afghan, but I only took 24 squares with me… for a 5 x 5 blanket…
