Here’s the Exchange Bag that I was talking about. It’s still not lined, so technically not a finished object, but my aunt won’t be getting this until she visits in August, anyway. Sorry for the blurriness:
Under the Hoodie is almost finished. I ran out of yarn halfway through the second sleeve, and just bought some [...]

I crocheted an exchange bag from The Happy Hooker last year for my mom, and one of my aunts liked it so much that my mom asked me this year to make one for her, too. Since it’s such a small project, I took it to work. It’s been slow the past couple of days, [...]

I added a link to an online yarn shop called Sheep of a Different Color that sells dishcloth cotton. The owner dyes them herself, and there’s a wide range of variegated colours from Pumpkin Swirl (orange, salmon pink and medium green) to Ice Blue (blues and grey).

I started feeling better last night, [...]

The wristwarmers didn’t improve after their trip through the washing machine. I love them individually, they’re great, the colours line up, they fit perfectly, I even did the seaming decently. But they look different. I might just make another one with the rest of the ball, and do… something, with the first one. What do [...]

I finished the project that I’ve been doing at work, which is the Wrist Warmer pattern from Wine and Needles. I used a chunky yarn (Bernat’s Masala) and size 8s, and modified the pattern since the yarn is thicker and I have little wrists. Instead of casting on 40, I did 28, and that means [...]
