I kind of went through most of my day today not realizing what day it was. Happens sometimes, but it did lead me to almost forget to post. Remember how I said the other day that I wanted to make a little something for hubby? Well, after much searching, I found a couple of things …

Aaaand, Done!
Yep, you read that right. My Holden by the Sea is officially a Finished Object! Granted, I had to abandon the idea of the picot edging the pattern called for because there was just no way I had enough yarn left for that, but bind off happened with a bit of a tail to spare. Go …
Stranger in a Strange Land
Greetings and salutations, one and all! A couple of months back Karin asked me to write a guest post here and share a little piece of me. So the natural question is, who am I? That's a great question. Simply put: I am a man in a woman's world. I'll explain that in more detail …
Playing Yarn Chicken
So I've been diligently working away on my shawl. I remembered to put in a lifeline... only to forget to move the stupid thing after the next round of beads *sigh*. So here's to hoping I make it. I'm on what should be the last row of beads, leaving one more row after within the …
A Little Late
Today's post is a little later than I normally do because silly me, I wanted to see if I could finish my shawl before posting. Yep. I wanted to show off a finished object. As you can see, this didn't happen. Mostly because I decided to keep knitting, rather than follow the pattern. You see, …
I’m A Work in Progress
Hi, readers!! My name is Nicole and I normally blog over at Little Blog on the Homestead. Thank you so much to Karin for letting me stop by and share my story with you guys. I've always wanted to be one of the fabulously talented people who could create magic with their hands. I've always been …
Check, Please.
For the record: migraines absolutely suck. Was laid up all yesterday with one, and I'm still not completely over it. Needless to say, no crafting happened, which left me in a bit of a bind for what to write about. Lucky for me, a friend of mine shared a post with me on Facebook about …
Not. Enough. Coffee. In. The. World.
Or otherwise known as: Daylight Savings Time. Eesh, I want my hour back! Seriously, Benjamin Franklin, what were you thinking when you came up with that idea (yeah, yeah, I know technically the idea's been around for a lot longer)? *sips caffeinated beverage* Ah well, I suppose I'll have to wait until Fall to get it back, …
A Piece of Meredith
Hello everyone. It’s a real treat to be here on Karin’s blog today. Strange even. As a blog owner myself I’m usually on the other end of these. So, please be patient with me. I’ll start with telling you a little about myself. My name is Meredith King and I own a book blog called …
We Have Lace, People!
Granted, it's a simple feather and fan lace pattern, but still! I managed to figure out where I went wrong (twice, I might add), and fix things. Lo' and behold, three sections of lace and beads. I'm loving it! I am enjoying the knit (well, I am when I don't make stupid mistakes, at least) …
