I am becoming known as the Master Unraveler. A friend of mine had two knit tablecloths, but didn’t know how to take them apart. They were seamed together, ruffled and hemmed with elastic. I took the first one from this:

to this:

In my creative space today, I’ll be tackling tablecloth number two. Did I mention that [...]

In my creative space today is another custom bag for my friend Cathy with more cat fabric! She wanted this one really big to hold her ball winder, swift and tons of yarn.
I made it really big.

My creative space is full of tiny little stitches. A friend of mine hand stitched this blanket, but doesn’t sew, and asked me to help put it together.

I am amazed at her patience and perfect little stitches.

Well, look at that! Something that isn’t red! The blog has been looking kind of rosy these days, hasn’t it?
I have a cool story to go with my creative space today. One of my husband’s high school friends follows me on my facebook page. When I was posting all of those kids’ crochet hats, [...]

I think this picture of my creative space might be a little misleading. I’m not really in the Christmas spirit yet. November is my favorite month and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It’s just that I have finished up a lot of the projects on my needles and found myself with nothing to take to [...]

My creative space is filled with knitting today. Actually, re-knitting.
You know how everyone always says gauge is so important? Well, getting your daughter’s head measurement right in the first place is even more important.
Yep, that’s her first hat in the background of the picture. I measured a moving target and came up with [...]

My daughter and I have been coloring paper ghosts this week. Today I’m going to cut them out and we’re going to string them into a garland. Want to make one, too? Grab the template from Ellen over at The Long Thread.

Today I’ll be at the beach relaxing and renewing my creative spirit. I’m planning to finish knitting a wool hat for my husband. There’s also a cute yarn and fabric store that I spied last night on the way to dinner. I’m going back today to take a little look around. I might even come [...]
