Stitches United 2019
#StitchesUnited is coming to Atlanta again! Lets talk about the excitement I am experiencing for a moment. First of all my first fiber event was Stitches 2014 when it was called Stitches South and when it was in Atlanta. I talked about it some in this blog post/video. I loaded up my van with some local knitters and crocheters and off we went. It was a huge show and very overwhelming.

The experience was the most magical and educational experience ever. I…

Project Planning for my 2019 Craft Life
It is that time of year of goal making and project planning. Every year I like to set a few crafting goals for myself and try to achieve them. Not that I push myself to do them but I am a person who thrives on things such as that. Are you that way? Do you set yearly goals? Did you meet your yearly goals for 2018? To be honest I can not even remember all the goals I had planned but the top two were to do something Brioche and to make a doll a month. I did make a brioche hat and it was donated to a charity “Purple…

photo borrowed from the internet not mine The new year is approaching at a rapid speed and it’s time to get ready for it. Every year I like to have a focal word for the new year.

I usually are am not one to start a new project on the weekend. I like to work on wips (work in progress) during the weekend. Today I want to talk about on of the biggest things a knitter or crocheter can encounter… At what point do you frog it or finish it? Do you let it go to Area 51 that in the back of a dark closet and leave it for years? Are you someone that lets it…

I love an easy project to work on while I eat my breakfast and wake up. I always have one mindless knitting project and one mindless crochet one going all the time.

Its a free pattern on Ravelry and can be found here. The yarn I am using is the Lion Brand Mandala Baby in the Pixie Hollow color. I wanted to try this out and see which I like more Mandala regular or the Baby. Well its…

I know I do, I get it when I see a call for a charity drive, a post, when I look over and see a baby colored yarn or even when I hear others joining in a campaign on podcast/blog. Today it happened when I was tagged in a Facebook post. It was out of no where and I was sitting at the library with my kids when I got the notification.
