Barnyard Sheep
Can you think of a scene any more serene than rolling hills dots with sheep? The pastoral life suggesting peace, harmony and a simpler time. Sheep in fluffy white coats… picture perfect. Of course anyone that owns sheep knows the work that is involved in keeping any animals and those fluffy white coats are quite …
Learn to Knit Afghan :: Block Sixteen
Working with the Double Scroll Ok, if you read last week’s post (Afghan Block 17) you will know that I had issues with this block and skipped it the first time around. Since the blog caught up to me, I knew I couldn’t put it off any longer. I thought that maybe with fresh eyes it …

Learn to Knit Afghan :: Block Seventeen
Working with the Woven Tweed Woah! You might be saying if you have been paying attention. Where is block sixteen? Well, I skipped it. Actually I shunned it after having to rip it out twice. The pattern doesn’t repeat itself in an easy to memorize/anticipate way, so you really have to count rows. I’m not really a …
Knit Monster Patterns

Many children love to take a walk on the “wild side”, and when they do, always nice to have a lovable monster to accompany them. Below are knit patterns for creating friends for your own favorite wee monster. Most of these …
The Ugly Scar or Allowing Children to be Creative
Every once in a while I need to go through files on my computer and do a little housecleaning. I came upon this blog post I had written some time ago. Why hadn’t I published it? Probably because it does embarrass me. I actually thought about deleting it, but finally decided, no, I’m going to …
Gnome Home :: Building Stairs
