This has been the week for evening projects. Monday I finished a scarf for a friend of a friend, last night I re-potted my rose and tonight I’m going to paint the frame for the map I ordered for our guest room. I’m planning a little photo tour of the room soon, too. I think [...]
Hello! I just wanted to pop in to share a new addition to the shop with you! This is the Coffee Date Cozy. It’s hand knit in pretty chocolate brown yarn and has an adorable row of tiny, pink buttons. I think it’s kind of cute! I found some forgotten bark buttons hiding in my [...]
I know we’ve been talking a lot about knitting this week. Maybe it’s the chillier weather that makes a lap full of wool so appealing or maybe it’s just because I’ve been spending my evenings with candles lit, yarn on needles and endless cups of hot chocolate. Whatever the reason, each afternoon I find myself [...]
Since I did so much knitting, movie watching, coffee drinking, and music listening this weekend, I thought today’s Music Monday should be full of songs for knitting. Last night I made the most random mix of knit-along-music ever!
I had such a productive weekend! I got some house projects taken care of but mostly I dug in and got a whole bunch of knitting done. The shop has been getting busy with lots and lots of early holiday orders. So I’ve been working on those and trying hard to get a handful of [...]
Becka from Bliss in a Teacup sometimes posts Work In Progress (W.I.P.) photos on Wednesdays. I always love seeing a glimpse of all the lovely things she makes! Today’s post reminded me that I have a current work in progress that I could share too! So here’s a little peek at what I’ve been working [...]
We left Chicago Saturday morning at 2am-I know we are crazy people! But it actually made the drive go by quickly and the sunrise in Indian was so very pretty. All that to say my weekend project have all been done in a moving vehicle, but if I had had the time I would have [...]
This might sound a little crazy, but I’ve been feverishly working on my cozy “stockpile”. Last winter I was knitting all during parties and family visits, trying to keep up with the avalanche of orders. It was nerve-wracking and I’d rather not do that again this year! So I’m thinking ahead (way ahead) and knitting [...]
What a productive weekend! I finished up a batch of slouchy hats and cozies for City Bird. City Bird is this wonderful shop in Detroit that I would LOVE to visit some day. It looks so lovely! And I finished up a bunch of new photos of older cozies, like this one…
Anabela wrote a lovely post about her adorable new mittens. They are darling! I’ve had a little idea floating around in my sketchbook forever about using a duet of yarns to play up the natural heart shape that the stockinette stitch makes. I love seeing it in action! Now to get a few minutes to try [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
