Bible review and a little knitting too!
August.. August the first marks the day when my inner child wants to run out and buy everything and anything with a pumpkin on it. However, let me remind you this momma is in the great state of Alabama where August has scorching temps and humidity that makes you feel you are in a sauna that follows you everywhere.

The multi case from Amazon
Of you know me you know I am all about storage. I came across this adorable bird pencil (on the right) case on February 17, 2017 when I got my Prismacolor 132 count set. Now a year later I was scrolling through instagram and saw it being used as a DPN case! Genius! So naturally I ordered another one. This time I went with the adorable bear print on the left and from a different company. It was also $8 cheaper than my bird one so I was curious to see if there was a difference.

What's up with the bags?
I love the world of knitting and crochet but with comes a world of notions. How’s a crafter supposed to carry all they stuff around.

So let’s take a moment to look at some…

The world of Knitting Needles and the Ones I Love
Updates to post in Red You can never judge a needle buy its packaging or its name. I am going to go ahead and admit here I am a knitting needle addict.

A Deeper Look in the World of Crochet Hooks
Recently I hard the urge to get back crochet. When I started my fiber arts journey in 2013 I started with crochet, however lately I have really enjoyed knitting. As I was planning out my next crochet project I began gathering what I would need. I grabbed my hook, the original Boye US 8 5.00mm that started it all. When I taught myself to crochet I had put clay on the clays making them fit in my hands but the added clay made them heavy.
