There’s a mall with a small Zellers Department Store not far from my house. Because I’ve frequented it often over the years, I’m quite familiar [...]

FO: Mom’s Christmas ‘Rainy Day Socks’

I was a tad late in finishing both mom’s and DH’s Christmas socks. It’s hard to practice knitting subterfuge when living with the one(s) from whom you are trying to keep the gift a secret.

Charting Into Design Waters

Frogged!!!!

I started on this beautiful Kaylee sock and then at this point I frogged it! The intricate design was just lost on this yarn: Knit Picks Essential yarn in Meteor Twist. Will redo the Kaylee in a solid color.

Felting For Absolute Beginners

I’m starting my first felted project………as IF I don’t have enough OTNs!!!!!!!
Knitty’s Felting for Absolute Beginners is good place to start.
I made my first felting swatch today and plan on my first Booga Bag or something like it. I think I would like different handles than the pattern shows.
In changing colors I’d like to use [...]

What Will Knitters Think of Next?!? A Reusable Swiffer Cover :o)

All you fellow thrifty knitters out there are going to love this! It’s a reusable Swiffer cover! Can you beat that?!? I don’t use my Swiffer much, I’ve been thinking it might be because I hate to shell out good money for those refills! LOL! I admit it, I’m thrifty to the bone!
