 I have 2 boys& no pets. I love wool & cupcakes. I like to make things. e:lisa@goodknits.com  |
I’m participating in a group on flickr–for the LOVE of COLOR week. Today’s color(s): hot pinks, fuschias, raspberry. Living in a house of boys, those colors just aren’t the norm. I thought about going outside, but there aren’t many pretty flowers around here. So…I turned to my yarn stash. I started a pair of Mary [...] to a goodknits shop near you! ;) A lovely friend of mine requested some slouchy hats for her girls. She wanted me to name my price, but I one-upped her and just asked for some modeling shots for me to use in my [future] shop. When I first got her message, I started a hat (crochet) [...] check out my new header! I finally knit goodknits! :) The first Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern I ever made was ‘Ganomy’ from Knitters’ Almanac. It’s also been the most used pattern in my repetoire.

The crocheting is super simple and is pretty much just a popcorn stitch flower. Here’s the quick pattern: Materials: I haven’t spoken about it here, but we’re currently house-hunting. This means I have to pinch pennies and save save save. There is no longer any “extra money” to blow on whatever my crafty little heart desires. Living off of one income is tough, but it’s our life. I stay home with the boys–they’re my [...] It’s been a bit since I posted something in the crochet or knit category. You must be tired of my kids and/or my week-long obsession with pom-poms. Here’s something new.Is it too early for Valentine’s Day crafting? I’m not much of a romantic, but I do like hearts and flowers and OMG!pink! I suppose I [...] I actually really disliked making pom poms for a while. I don’t know why, exactly. I just know I avoided them. I opted for braids at the ends of earflaps instead of the wretched balls of fluff. Well, wretched no more! After the red one I made for my teal beret, I’ve made a few [...] |
