knitting goof!

I ripped this pic out of one of those “as seen on tv” catalogs. Love the knitting needles with the crochet granny square blanket. Bonus points for working with six yarns at the same time!

My graphic design creative space has been hopping this week, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for my handmade creative space. Sometimes you just need to put technology on hold for a little bit and make a flower.

What’s in your creative space?

In my creative space today, I’m getting in the rhythm of seaming square after square (after square…).

I love e-window shopping on the Tiffany website. I get all happy when they send me a new email. Their product photography is so perfect and their jewelry designs are so timeless. My favorites are the pieces in their sterling silver collection.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been getting [...]

old cat, new tricks

I’d like to say that I adapt fairly well to change, but that doesn’t mean I like it. Today I tried three new things and I’m actually exited about them.

Recently, my friend Jennifer pointed out that our double crochet stitches look different. She watched me do mine and I watched [...]

finished: crochet basket lining

By On January 21, 2011 · 3 Comments

My first official Finished on Friday post: remember this basket? Back in September I mentioned that it was ready for a lining. Then it sat around for a few months before I decided to just start using it.
