Hey, I can crochet!
Back when I was a very new blogger, I wrote a post called Not Just a Knitter. In it, I told of the other different things I did. Among other crafts, I mentioned I crocheted. Let me give you a bit of background about my crocheting history.
When I was little, maybe about six or seven, [...]
Bamboo and Lace
Spring can mean only two things for knitting…Bamboo and lace! Bamboo, because it looks great in lacy patterns, and I’ve heard it also keeps you a lot cooler than wool. 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 [...]
Tutorial: Felted Soap Sack
Ever feel like your soap doesn’t lather up as much as you’d like it to? Or maybe you’re the artistic type, and like to add a pretty touch to anything and everything you can. Maybe you’re looking for an easy gift idea that is also pretty. If the answer is yes to any of these [...]
Post Christmas Boost
Hello blogging world! I’m still here, and now that the holidays have passed (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years), I’m charged and ready to go! Who all had a great Christmas? I know we did over here! Christmas is always a very busy time, not just because the usual busyness, but also because of the knitting [...]
Tutorial: Stove-top Dyeing
You know, dyeing yarn doesn’t always turn out like how you planned it. In my experience, it never has turned out how I expected it to! But most of the time, it turns out for the better. It just wasn’t how I pictured it. When I took blue and yellow and mixed them, I thought [...]
Tutorial: Beginning to Dye
There is one rule to dyeing yarn that must never be broken, lest it cause trouble. Dyeing is refering to applying color to an object in order to change the color of that object. Dying is completely different. They are not the same, so please do not get the spelling mixed up!
Other than that, there are [...]
Yayy!
Fresh off of the blocking mats, trumpet fanfare:
My knitted shawl! I can’t believe I’m finally finished with it, but I’m so pleased with how it turned out. =) I finished it last night, soaked it for 18 minutes in water, and blocked it overnight. I didn’t have enough blocking pins, because I’ve never had to [...]
Musician’s Delight
There’s a saying that goes: “Those who wish to sing will always find a song”. Well, in my case, that happened with piano. I wanted to play, and the Lord provided me with a way to play. It’s a long story, but I’ve been looking for a piano to play over here in the states for a while. My [...]
A little of this, a little of that
It really is quite difficult to get into the habit of blogging again after being gone for a while. But there is a lot to write about, so I should be able to finish a post. Let’s see…
A few weeks ago my dad went out to the garage, took some PVC pipe, and made me a [...]
Blooper Pictures
Whenever I write my blog, I try to choose pictures that best represent the thing I’m trying to show. But what I don’t show are the “blooper/behind the scenes” photos. Would you like to see what I’m like behind the camera? Well, I just finished making a purse about a week or so ago to [...]
