Projects I have worked on Bees in the Thistles This dress pattern was designed by Brigit Pupillo and I purchased it through Knit Picks. This was for my granddaughter's first birthday. The dress was so cute that I got enough yarn to make 2 more for my co-worker's daughters. I am currently working on Bee's… Continue reading Workbasket

Workbasket – Like a Duck or an Iceberg…

Doesn't look like much on the surface, but there is still lots going on out-of-sight. That has been me the last couple of months (OK, not so much when it comes to running. Health issues and cold weather). This is a quick look at things I've been doing or finished. A little more detail will… Continue reading Workbasket – Like a Duck or an Iceberg…

Workbasket Wednesday – 4 New Projects/One Old

Blue & White Shawl: I have wanted to knit this shawl for many years, ever since Daisy gave me this blue yarn that she spun. The title of this shawl pattern is "Blue and White Shawl". The white yarn is reclaimed from a white angora beret that was purchased at the Goodwill Bin store. The… Continue reading Workbasket Wednesday – 4 New Projects/One Old

Monthly Mending – March 2022

After so much mending progress throughout January and February, I was hoping the trend would continue. Alas, it was not to be. Only the tear in the lining of the raincoat was mended this month. It was mentioned in last month's mending, that as progress was being made more mending was also being discovered. This… Continue reading Monthly Mending – March 2022

Monthly Mending – January 2022

If it seems like it has been awhile since I have even mentioned mending, you'd be correct. The last monthly mending post was in August. After that the mending basket started to fill up, along with the ironing basket. The marathon crafting leading up to Christmas left little time for mending or ironing. Thankfully there… Continue reading Monthly Mending – January 2022

Workbasket – After Christmas

Previously... It has been a long time and I have missed you all. Every spare moment, I was working on Christmas gifts. Even going so far as taking time off work. It seems like projects always take 2+ times more time than I think it will to complete. Part of the extended project time was… Continue reading Workbasket – After Christmas

Workbasket Wednesday – A Little of This…

Previously in my workbasket... For the baby shower, one of the activities was to decorate onsies.  GmaC took one home to tie-dye one. I held one back to embroider.  The flower basket iron-on pattern didn't transfer very well to begin with.  Letting the onesie sit around for a week or two, only allowed it to… Continue reading Workbasket Wednesday – A Little of This…

Workbasket – Progress From Behind the Scenes

Flower of the Month Embroidery Block - January The last time I worked on the Flower of the Month Embroidery was (groan of dismay) October 27, 2020 (Goodness, that was almost a full year ago). It wasn't the lack of WIPs that caused me to work on it. It was the lack of bringing any… Continue reading Workbasket – Progress From Behind the Scenes
