 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) [...] through the viewfinder of my Duaflex II… My oldest child is spending a weekend with grandma. This leaves me with such anticipation of accomplishment for the next 2 days. Alas, I know better. I’ll probably just revel in the fact that only one child will be yelling at me for attention and hugs. I’ll spend it [...] I picked up my tiniest hook and some crochet thread, yesterday, for the first time in a long time. I got hooked! (no pun intended) I made a few of these tiny brooches.

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 [...] gift #12 was completed yesterday. It’s a simple DC scarf. 16DC, including the turning chain, for approx. 100 rows with a SC border, using a 6.5mm (K) hook. Lion Brand Homespun yarn in “bourbon.” Gift #13 is waiting for my DPNs. Gift #14 may get the axe. I added two gifts to my list and completed them! They’re for my son’s teachers. Neckwarmer, crocheted from chunky yarn. They were super easy. On Sunday, I added two gifts to my pile. They were easy peasy, as most comments on my pattern can attest to. Since then, I’ve added two more. As of today, I have 7 gifts complete. I started #8 this morning. I lowered my list by 1, but I think I’m going to re-knit #3, so [...] I love it when I get packages in the mail. Yesterday, I got THREE. 2 from paperbackswap.com and one that had something AWESOME-R THAN BOOKS in it. What could that be, you ask!?! YARN. deliciously soft and beautifully GREEN yarn. I think I’m in love, guys. I want to ball it up and use it [...] |
