I have to confess that I thought today was the first Friday of February, not the last Friday of January. As such I had to scramble to make this post in two days. With nothing made / no crafts in progress that I hadn’t already talked about, this post is looking at personal crafting expectations. […]

Digging up Dinos
I touched on this just briefly in my “Amigurumi Army“ Post, but I wanted to take another post to wax poetic a little bit more, specifically on amigurumi dinosaurs. Growing up I loved dinosaurs. My favorite stuffed animal was a little brown triceratops. The Land Before Time movies were fan favorites (at least the older […]
An Oldie but a Goodie
As fun as it is to try something new and exciting, sometimes there are old recipes that you just have to go back to when you’re looking for some comfort food. Some of them are true oldies, recipes you’ve gotten from your grandparents or great grandparents. Some are recipes you found years ago and have […]
Mid-Month Middle Earth 4
I’ve been working on the top left corner for the project and I’m slowly but surely making some progress. I decided to print out the two pages I’m working on rather than work from the PDF off my laptop (I didn’t want to print the PDF because it is like, 80 pages long, that’s way […]
Baby Blanket: Cherry Square
Because I have no chill, and I have the yarn, I have decided to work on another baby blanket. You will probably recognize this yarn from before when I was making the tulip lace baby blanket last year. I had so much yarn left over from that one I decided to try and make another […]
On a Wing and a Prayer (Shawl)
I got a book of prayer shawls called “Knit prayer Shawls, 15 wraps to share” shortly after I graduated from college in 2017. I have slowly been working my way through it making different patterns and I decided to make the prayer shawl “Sunny Days Ahead” last year. Despite getting the yarn for it I […]
Cute and Casual Cables
Perhaps a little counter intuitively, at the start of the new year I’m looking way back into my past to talk about something I did back in High school. Most of the memories of those days are getting fuzzier the more I move away from them – except for those really awkward memories we all […]
Granny Square Aware
I have a bit of a love hate relationship with granny squares. On the one hand, they’re super fun to do. They come in all shapes and sizes (not just squares), numerous patterns and you can make them just about any color you want. The stitches can be simple with the traditional granny square, or […]
First Friday Fiction: Down For the Count
Happy new year! Goodness, the year has only just started and I already feel exhausted. Between holiday prep, holiday parties, and getting back to work I just want to wrap myself up in a blanket and take a long winters nap. I can already see the finish line for the week in sight. This story […]
Happy Haro Says Hello!
This is a quick post since we’re right before the last big holiday of the year and I’m sure everyone is busy getting ready for new years eve celebrations. I’ve finished the large Haro! After getting ¾ of the way done with it I though “maybe I should have tried for a different color”, but […]
