I’m trying to brighten up my thinking so I’m brightening up my text as well ;O)
I was reading my email and came across this information about Handmade Especially for You which is another charity where people can use their talents for crochet or knitting to help others. Leslye Borden makes handmade scarves in soft [...]

Neat idea

I love making things and I’ve always made things for gifts and then later on I would be trying to explain how I did it to someone else or try to make it again for myself and just couldn’t remember all the details. After it’s gone it is just too late. I’ve always thought [...]

I recently read about Project Linus on www.anniesattic.com. They provide a wonderful listing of Charities that use homemade items. Annie’s Attic also provide patterns for some of these items as well. I think it’s a wonderful thing that they do besides the “free pattern of the day”. I am addicted to checking the free pattern EVERY [...]

I like to make things that are useful and not just decorative. I knitted this washcloth for my kitchen in the tuscany colors I’m going to decorate my Italian Kitchen with. I got the cotton at walmart on a large cone spool for a knitting machine. I don’t remember the color name but it was [...]

I’m cleaning up my garage and having great fun. I’m finding such wonderful stuff that I meant to do something wonderful with someday. See, it’s a two car garage but we only have the one to park in there. [...]

Mother’s day is kind of hard for me now that my mom isn’t here so I have been kind of glum for a while. I tried to keep that out of my mind for today though. I woke up this morning with my husband and my youngest son bring me breakfast in bed. My youngest [...]
My newest scarf

I made this for a mom to put in her daughters Easter basket. I’m selling these scarves to make money for the Heart Walk this year. So far each one has sold really fast and I can’t make them fast enough. It doesn’t help that I have had a migrain for a week now. This [...]

I learned about this site called Ravelry.com from a knitting group. There is only one techie dude running this thing so you have to request an invite so he can control the flow so to speak. It only took me about 3 days to get my invite in my email and I’m already loving the site!! [...]
New scarf

Okay, so here is the picture of my new scarf. It is coming along nicely even though I have made a few mistakes. I am resisting the urge to rip it all out again so I can actually finish it. I am getting a bit better and the stitches are more consistant than before. The [...]
My finished Scarf

I know I’m really late with this one. I finished this scarf a LONG time ago. Well here are the pictures of the finished scarf. I loved the way it turned out. This scarf is knitted in plane old garter stitch. It was my first scarf so I thought I’d start out easy. The yarn gradually [...]
