Loose ends…..a baby sweater WIP

I am fairly certain my least favorite part of a project is dealing with all the finishing. Depending on the object, I try to weave in ends as I go, but this has not been happening lately. This sweater by DROPs Design is called the McDreamy. I loved it on the little baby model in

Homeade e-spinner that rocks

I think a while back I mentioned my husband was building me a spinning wheel. I am a novice spinner, having only had a single beginners drop spindle and a new laceweight trindle, with exactly one skein of lovely spindle spun yarn finished since I began trying to spin. My husband only took a minor

Operation Free the Loom!! a.k.a. finish the damn weaving project already.

Once again I have been favoring instagram over my blog. It is just so much easier to not have to write about my projects, when I have so much going on. This month I have been super busy, despite taking a break from my college classes which was supposed to give me more time to

Finished Object: Knit Oaklet Shawl

A few years ago, if you would have told me it was fun to knit shawls I would have laughed. “What is the point, little old ladies wear shawls why would I want one of those?” Because they are AWESOME. That is why. Well so far I would call these more like shawlettes, or even

Finished Object: Handspun Hat

Do you remember the handspun yarn I made a while back? It is now a hat! I used the Stratford pattern by Zandt Kennett. I absolutely love it and wear it everywhere. I am now more pumped than ever to spin, I am not sure I have a knitted piece I am more proud of

Finished Objects: Baby Cardigans

This week I finished not one, but two baby cardigans! I am actually still working on a third and am formulating yarn/pattern combinations for a fourth, but I couldn’t wait to show these two off. First up, on the left, is the Province Baby Cardigan, a free pattern you can find on Ravelry, designed by

Drop Spindling: Why not?

A while back I ordered a drop spindle and spun the little sample of fiber that came with it. Ugh what a mess. But I was hooked, and ordered some wool roving from knitpicks. When it came in the mail, initially I was all “it’s so FLUFFY!” But then, the realization……it took several hours to

Pinterest Win! Teacup Candles

This little project was done during a “Pinterest Party” I held a while back. That was a fun party, hoping to do a fall themed one soon. (I will start a Fall pinterest party board…check me out there as Bekhiann) If you have been on Pinterest looking for cute crafty things, you have probably come

Finished Object: Kernel Scarf

Ok, wow this project took me forever. I started it well over a year ago and put it down because I kept screwing up the lace. See this previous post for more backstory. I blocked it this week, and subsequently ordered some blocking wires. It is next to impossible to block lace too much while

WIP Wednesday

I almost forgot to post my Wednesday WIP! Anyways, I am deviating quite a bit my normal selection of knitting patterns, I looked at my yarn stash and realized I have so much acrylic that I hardly ever use anymore and thought it was time to bust through some of it. I let my daughter
