Occasionally you just want to cast something on RIGHT THEN!! That means finding yarn that isnt skeined and then choosing a pattern to go with it. Oddly, for me that usually ends...
Its done! But here is the funny bit, it isnt nearly as fugly as I thought it was. Finished and laid out to block it is really quite charming n its own mismatched kind of way. Isnt that odd. All this ...
Just feeling a trifle weary this morning, maybe as a result of the running of Beeroramafest II at our place last night. So much home brew (the craft of the male member of the household) and so little...
After finding this unfinished blanket the other day I have taken a new shine to it and added several inches. Its funny how that happens. Projects take your complete attention for a while and then, of...

I am about 99.99% sure that my sister in law doesnt read this blog. Further to that I am actually pretty sure that she doesnt even know I have a blog. If I am wrong, "Hi Ral", please stop rea...
While Jason and Bevan were outside making the back gardens more dog-proof than they previously were, Duncan and I did some crafting together. Sometime ago I taught Duncan how to use the sewing machin...

Remember this design?It is finally ready for purchase! Only took a few months....
For some reason this was a hat that just had to be made! Its utter silliness appealed to me and the idea just had to become a reality. The design is a sick and sad product of my warped mind, the yarn...
The last year for a long time that my boys will all be at the same school. My big boy is in grade six this year! How the hell did that happen? Surely it was but yesterday that he was born...Anyway, w...
