Hexagon Blanket
As promised on Instagram here are the details, so far, for my new blanket idea. I’m not going to give a ton of info here, just enough so that you can order the yarn that is the inspiration for this blanket when it drops on Saturday! There is a crocheted and knitted version. I amContinue reading “Hexagon Blanket”
Choosing a Pattern from an Internet Listing
No, the featured image is not a mistake, I’ve seen this in pattern listings and this is partly what this post is about. Recently Mom and I had a conversation about buying patterns from internet listings and how difficult it can be. I want to use this post to help stitchers navigate this and hopefullyContinue reading “Choosing a Pattern from an Internet Listing”

A set of directions can feel clearly written and even make it through tech editing. If a pattern isContinue reading “How many repeats?”
Cherry Hills
An area outside of Denver, Colorado, now called Cherry Hills Village wasn’t always the Hi end society that it is now. Though the country club hosted the PGA Championship in 1941, Cherry Hills Village wasn’t incorporated until 1945. The country Club was founded in 1922 with golfing in mind. Before that it was all farmContinue reading “Cherry Hills”
Avocado Dye Sessions
I have now used avocados twice for dyeing wool fiber. Thankfully before I did the first batch I was given some advice about taking time with the heating process and not letting it get too hot, otherwise the dye will be brown. Also to clean the pits really well, because any of the green fleshContinue reading “Avocado Dye Sessions”
