Knitterly Notes
Have I ever told you I love to knit? And so I have...here and here and here. The only thing better than knitting, is to draw or paint what I'm knitting or crocheting. I loved making this little painting of my hands knitting a scarf. Mind you, this lace scarf was begun several years ago...but … Continue reading Knitterly Notes
Resurrection Shawl
When I received the diagnosis that I had Ulcerative Colitis, and the medicines that were intended to put it into remission, I had such hope of recovery!

The Call of the Bins
"Out of sight, out of mind" doesn't really work for me. I 'spose for a bit of time after I've packed something away, I don't think about it much. But pretty soon, I start hearing things.

How an idea comes to life... 1. A shape pops into my head. Pyramid! 2. A question follows on its heels. How can I make that shape in knitting? 3. Paper & folding ensues. Ahh...so that's how! 4. Another question pops up. What can the shape be used for other than a sachet? 5. Leaving … Continue reading Baby Step #9: Pyramid Gift Box Pattern
Baby Steps #3-8: Happy Day Birthday Boxes
Birthdays as a kid were always a celebration...as they are and have been in my own family. Sometimes we refer to our Birthday Month since the celebrating often gets sprinkled throughout the person's birth-month.
