New Scarf Pattern




I'm still working on these socks and almost done, on the cuff now. And I don't know about you but it seems like the closer I get to the end of a project I start thinking about what to make next. Usually there a long list needing to be worked from and then I'll go to the yarn shop and I'll have more projects to add. 

Heaven know I do not need more yarn, but I lose all will power and leave with more.


Did this time, so gorgeous tho.
Red Fish is Forbidden Wooley Babel,
Lime is Ella Rue Lace Merino
and the small skeins are
Wooly Wonka Ceridwen Soak

This time I came back with a pattern to use up some more of my stash too


This one is called "Fringeworthy" and was told it's a very easy.



I was given this yarn and will use it for this pattern. It does need to wash but I'm not sure if I should wash it first or afterwards.
What would you do?
I would like to know if you have had this issue and what worked for you.

Here is a link to the free pattern



Right now I'm listening to Dead Wake by Erik Larson


I'm over halfway done and finding it very interesting.
He not only tells about the story of the sinking of the Lusitania but all that lead up to it, the passengers, the German U boat that sunk it and the WWI that was happening across Europe.
If you like historical novels this is a good one.

Now I want to have it finished by this Friday cause Erik Larson will be speaking in Fayetteville AK. and I plan on going.
I'll let you know how it went.


Linking with Ginny at Small Things

    I struggled with the ribbon yarn and found it very difficult to crochet with. Here's hoping it is easier to knit with.

    Love your new yarns and the new pattern. The socks are looking good too. Hope you have time this weekend to play with your yarn some.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
