Knitted Sock Puppet Tutorial
For my cousin’s birthday, my mom asked me if I could knit a couple of puppets to match a puppet theaters she was making for them. The colors: rainbow. I needed a pattern that was quick and simple, because her birthday was very soon (not that I take an extremely long time for just a [...]

His Eye is on the Sparrow
ETA 4/15/12: We’re all safe! Will update later
One of my favorite hymns (ok, I have many favorite hymns, but there are so many wonderful ones!) is His Eye is on the Sparrow. There’s just something about the simple truth that God is watching me. No matter where I go, no matter what I’m doing, no [...]
Hey, I can crochet!

All you had to do was watch a tour on the new library features (which was very informative, I never really knew what the library feature was!). With two-million people on Ravelry, the [...]

Lace, because everyone knows you don’t want to knit anything bulky and hot through the summer, and it’s so pretty in the spring! I’ve actually [...]
