When I first heard about arm knitting, I was a little confused. For one, I wasn’t sure how the logistics of using your arms as knitting needles would work out. For another, wouldn’t you only be able to make huge knitting projects that way? As it turns out, I was wrong on both accounts! The […]
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and let’s face it: it’s hard to figure out what to get for your guy.

I don’t know about you, but the kitchen is the room of the house that I end up spending the most time in. I love to cook, and even when I’m not cooking or cleaning, I sometimes find that it’s nice to sit at the counter when I’m on the computer or reading a book […]

While those are all tried-and-true ways of celebrating the occasion, they’re also predictable. Dull. Ho-hum. You get the picture. I’m thinking of making a change this […]

The hat didn’t come out as expected; in fact, the finished product had a big hole in the back that she had somehow mistakenly created. After finding the mistake, Danica […]
Happy Free Pattern Friday, yarnies! I’ve been loving the look of crochet wraps at the moment. It’s basically an excuse to wear a blanket in public, and it’s a total fashion statement on top of that! There’s no better way to dress up a plain t-shirt or sweater than by throwing on a cozy wrap. […]
