Where does the time go? I cannot believe how long it’s been since Michelle and I have shared a post, but life and other obligations sometimes get their talons in you and relentlessly pull! Today, however, it feels so Autumn outside and inside… a pumpkin candle is flickering in the fall air that is gently …
As the temperatures are just starting to break a bit, and autumn is growing ever closer I find myself being drawn back to woolly knitting projects. Although there are plenty of hot, sunny days left in the season, it won’t be long now before snuggling up inside to avoid the cold, damp weather will be a …
Here is my favorite fall scarf and hat set, both done in a lace leaves knitting pattern that I have name Spicer’s Autumn Leaves for my favorite local cider mill. Enjoy making the Spicer’s Autumn Leaves Scarf Knitting Pattern. The other day I shared the pattern for the Spicer’s Autumn Leaf Hat. Today I am sharing the lace …
I do not normally post on the weekend, but this morning I came across this pattern for a beautiful pair of mittens (which can be found HERE): and was dying to find out if my local yarn shop carried this yarn/color. (It is Crystal Palace – Mini Mochi, #101 – Intense Rainbow.) …
Normally I don't knit much in the summer. It's hot and my energy is usually more focused outdoors. This year has been different. I don't know if this has been because this season has been mostly cold and rainy so far or due to the fact that my Raverly Queue is continuously growing rather than …
My mom has this thing for scarves and shawls. Once the temperature dips below 70 degrees (not kidding) she starts layering them on. She can be seen wearing 2 or 3 at a time… in the house. Mocking aside… for Christmas a couple years ago I bought her a beautiful, hand carved wooden shawl pin. …
The knit cross stitch is a pattern that I have been wanting to try for awhile now. I’ve seen it called both a Knit Cross Stitch or a Knit Basket Weave. It has a fun woven look to it and makes for a dense knit fabric. The first time I read a pattern with this …

I found myself humming Christmas songs yesterday while it was literally 90 degrees in the shade. I was camped out on the picnic table, watching the kids playing on the swings, until a sudden downpour sent up scrambling into the house. While I am not really ready for the fall and the onset of the …
Remember those Dragon Scarves I mentioned awhile ago as Christmas gifts for my nephews? Well, I finally finished them this evening… along with matching hats and mittens so I can check this project off my list! These make my first fully completed Christmas gifts. Now to wrap them and ship them off. I hope everyone …
Look at what I’m working on for my nephews for Christmas. Aren’t they cute? These are actually the ones my mom made last year for my kiddos. She got the original kit from Morehouse Farm and we have made several since. I don’t have a photo of mine atm (it isn’t far enough along to …
It’s not a shocker that both Michelle and I would embrace the same craft at the same time. We seem to travel in pairs, so we’re exposed to the same things, at the same time. I happened to be born with a pair of knitting needles in my hand, which I’m sure made for an …
