Happy Homemade Halloween
Growing up, my mom made our costumes every year. I remember being a snowflake, a dog, a pencil, and one half of a pair of dice. I remember my sister being a bear and a spider. All of our costumes were made at home, and they looked pretty dang good as I ... |

Escher's Horses Tote
I've had a love for M. C. Escher's work ever since I saw a gallery display when I was in junior high. The mathematics combined so uniquely to produce his art has always intrigued me. After seeing Carol Ventura's "For the Birds" tapestry crochet purse, ... |

a Medatative Cabled Sheep
I've gotten involved in a variety of yarn swaps on Ravelry. For those unfamiliar, a swap is an on-your-honor trade among a group of people. A limit is set for how much your box should be worth as well as a few items that must be included in the box. ... |

Flowered Longies
If you asked me last year, I never ever would have thought I'd say this, but I love using cloth diapers. And I think its awesome that I can knit covers to put over them. These are a pair of "longies" that are worn over a cloth diaper (like a prefold ... |

Pointy Dodecahedron
Dodecahedron is just a fun word. I really don't know if this qualifies as a dodecahedron. Dodecahedron is 12 an object with sides... a cone has 1 side, right? its one long continuous side?? and this has 12 points (cones) -- so I'm going with my original ... |

Little Pixey Cap
I'm quite happy with how this little hat came out -- and in fact, I'm wondering how it would look as an adult hat... maybe I'll make one for my sister Di. I'm thinking that if I follow the same pattern with a worsted weight yarn on size 7 needles... and ... |

Striped Baby Mittens
These baby mittens are nice and warm as they are done on a size 2 needle with worsted weight yarn. Because of this they should stay toasty while even blocking out some of the wind. The ribbing around the wrist should help to keep them on baby's hands, ... |

Felted Toy Alphabet Blocks
I've made a few baby sweaters, and they don't take a lot of time to make seeing as though they're so small, but also -- they're not going to last very long because babies grow SO fast! So -- I thought my time would be better spent making some toys. They ... |

Bamboozled Headband
I needed a bit of a break from Needle felting all those letters, so I found a nice quick cable project on Ravelry.com and worked on it this week. I really like that this headband tapers at each end so that you don't have a huge bulk of fabric at the ... |

Newborn Ribbed Pullover and Hat
This project is a bit out of order. I actually made it during my trip to Salt Lake for the Climb4Life (a girl really could get used to sitting in first class). It's a simple 3x3 ribbed sweater and hat sized for a newborn. I actually used a sock yarn in ... |

For the west-bound half of my trip this week I made my first baby layette set. I'm just about finished with my light green sweater I have to sew all the pieces together and attach the buttons -- but that was too little work to bring so much ... |

Whenever I fly on a plane I have to have a project to work on, whether it be knitting or crochet -- I've gotta have something in my hands. It keeps me entertained, it helps me pass the time, and hey! I'm actually being productive! I'm SO glad I learned ... |

Completed: Fair Isle Double Knit Scarf
Way back in March I started a Fair Isle Double Knit Scarf that I was making for a friend of mine. As I said before, I was kind of stumped when trying to create a "boy" scarf -- I wanted it to be warm, and pretty, but not frilly and certainly not "foo ... |

Rosehip hat
So... I couldn't resist making something with one of those cool stitch patterns I got out of my new book purchase. I really liked the "rosehip" stitch. It's quick to knit, and very delicate looking. So this turned out to be a good project while we drove ... |
