Project Amigo
Have you heard of Project Amgio? I had never till the first of the year when they contacted my local yarn store Yvies asking if any of the patrons would be interested in making squares. Project Amigo is a non profit organization that supports students from Colima, Mexico, so that they can create their own educational opportunities and better their quality of life. They have a need for 6 inch squares that will be used for afghans that will be distributed to poor families of the students in Mexico who are being sponsored by Project Amigo. You can find instructions on the squares here. http://www.srbrown.info/knit.pdf They are a very fast…

A little "How To" and FO Review
So hows your stashdown cleaning coming along? I have almost completed our closets and bathroom and bedroom! Which means all I have left are the shed and barn and a few things inside. This makes me beyond happy.

His hand was all bandaged up and he could not even cut his own food up or open the #Milostea jug. Then as if on cue I…

Time to Destash!
Since this is a week late you should have created your plan off attack for your stash, house, drawer, closet…. what ever you are wanting to clean out and get organized. Last week despite having to take my youngest and mother in law to the Doctor for bronchitis I did manage to get a lot done. I even took a bag of yarn to the library and donated and have another ready to go. (these are partial/recycled yarns or I would offer them up to you guys) I was able to clean out the “school related stuff from my room and relocating that to the laundry room and shed where…

I have been on a Red Kick…
Do you every look at your projects and realize they are all the same color? I noticed that this past couple of weeks.. I have made sock and 2 squares and they are all red. I am not even a big fan of red so its somewhat funny. Maybe I was in the “Loving Mood” For February. Lets talk patterns and Yarn shall we? My socks were made from Knit Picks Imagination yarn. I love these colorways and am very upset they have discontinued it. I was lucky enough to have gotten several colors for Christmas from my hubby and mom. I used the Ruby Slippers color way which is…

I am Square Crazy
I am what many may call a monogamous knitter/crocheter. I try to have only one of each craft going at a time. Well except for blankets 🙂 Currently I have 4 blankets going.

As far as knitting blankets I am working on a barn raising quilt, a acrylic sample stitch square blanket and Love of Knitting block blanket. My acrylic stitch blanket I am using Caron Simply Soft.
