We’re all familiar with the classic knit drink cozy. We cover our coffees and teas in cute cup sleeves all winter long. Now that summer is here, you don’t have to abandon your favorite knit accessory because of the rising temps. You can knit a cover for your water bottles, sodas, and even your beers. […]
Although I enjoy knitting and crafting for special occasions all year long, my favorite knit crafts have always been Easter crafts. One of my favorite things about Easter crafts are all the beautiful pastel colors you get to work with. There are so many beautiful fibers in pretty pastel colorways – I always have trouble […]
With temperatures expected to skyrocket into the 40s next week, it seems as if spring is finally starting to make an appearance. However, I don’t think we’re in for sunny days and picnics quite yet. As everyone knows, April showers bring May flowers, so I think we can expect a wet first few weeks of […]
I don’t know about you, but the bitter cold of winter doesn’t kick in for me until after the holidays. Before Christmas and New Year’s, I welcome the snow and cold with open arms.

There’s no doubt about it, my Christmas countdown started right […]
Style Your Knit Scarf I always get a little sad this time of year because summer is almost over and autumn is quickly approaching. The smell of suntan lotion and chlorine is replaced by wet leaves and smoky air. The weather is changing, but with change comes new opportunity. School is starting, the garden’s offerings […]
Care for a spot of tea? There’s nothing better than a warm cup of tea to chase away the winter chill. But lately, I’ve been thinking that my tea pot, and many others, could be kept a little warmer as well. We need to show our tea pots some appreciation! Knitting and warm cups of […]
