New Experiences …

[Translate] – Are you sure you want to do this?– As sure as I’ll ever be. I’ve done a bit of research and while it’s a new technique for me I’m quite familiar with the basic concept.– So you have experience then?– *blush* Yes, some. I’ve done it a few times but there are so many ways to do it it seems different every time. – Yes, it can be. Are you ready to get started?– Yes, but please be gentle. It’s been a while and as I said, I’ve never done it like this before. – You’re in […]

Happy Holidays …

[Translate] ‘Twas the night before Christmas And the needles were clicking Even over the chatter you could hear The tick, tick, tick, ticking As it seemed that Santa’s elves Had forgotten a huge list And some good boys and girls Were going to be missed Now the knitters and crocheters Couldn’t stand idly by As no one wanted to see anyone With a tear in their eye With patterns from Franklin, Melissa, Jenny,  Hugzzz and many more The crafters  purchased fiber From their local yarn store So now in the house When you looked all around Knitted and crocheted […]

A little Monday humor …

[Translate] So I belong to the Laura Nelkin group on Ravelry, and the other day she posted this on her Facebook Timeline. It was so good I had to steal it and post it on my wall as well, and now it seems like a lot of people are sharing it around. It’s great because it’s funny, and it also has that underlying message that what we do ain’t cheap! A huge thank you to Vicki for originally posting it, whoever sent it to her (a friend of hers), and for Laura for sharing it on Facebook. It’s a […]
