Hi friends! I wanted to show the baby blanket that I recently finished! The sprig stitch is made using double crochet stitches (treble crochet in UK terms). It is a pretty stitch to use if you're wanting to experiment and try something different. I was inspired to use this stitch after watching a video tutorial… Continue reading Sprig Stitch Crochet Baby Blanket

A Quick Update So I’m Not Late
Hi friends! Hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was great - it was warm and sunny. We spent a decent amount of time outside - walked on South Congress Saturday afternoon and at a park Sunday. I hadn't been back to South Congress in a long time, and it's changed a LOT. It bums… Continue reading A Quick Update So I’m Not Late
Why Is It Still Winter?
Good morning friends! I hope you are doing well! The weather has been really gross here lately - raining and in the 30-40s. The weather was lovely the weekend before - warm, hints of sun.

I decided… Continue reading Knit-Wise Review: Chunky Mittens
Update – Fighting a Cold with MITTENS
Hi friends! At least it's the middle of January now. Ergh, January. I first saw this cartoon a couple of years ago, but this sums up how I move through the month pretty well: We had a couple of days last week where the weather was sunny and in the 70s - I felt great!… Continue reading Update – Fighting a Cold with MITTENS
Candy Cowl
Hello friends! Today I share a project of my own doing. ...shall I say, my own design? It feels weird to say, "I DESIGNED THIS" when the design uses only the most basic knit stitch (the, ahem, knit stitch). It feels like when I was a teenager and in Algebra 2 class, and decided that… Continue reading Candy Cowl
