It’s been a while since I shared a Year of Projects post, but as the year comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting on my crafty accomplishments in 2012 and planning for 2013.

Although I’ve been a Ravelry member since December, 2007, I barely used it until 2011. Last year, I finally started to browse Ravelry regularly for pattern searches and began to participate in several groups. My Rav goal for 2012 was to use the notebook to track all of my projects. Adding projects (and even taking [...]

I had a bit of a cliffhanger in my last Year of Projects update (you might have missed it since it was hidden between pictures of yarn): would I be able to take the Basic Dropspindling class at the North Jersey Fiber Arts Festival? It turns out that there was room for me. But, um… well, [...]

I’ve somehow made it through two marathon weeks at work (10-12 hour days, working on the weekends, etc.), but crochet and knitting (and blog reading) have been on the back burner. Yesterday, I opened my Google Reader to find over 1,000 unread posts (!) and while I did get around to reading almost every YOP [...]

I’ve been pretty excited about my first Bruges lace design since I developed it and made a sample last weekend. I actually started a second version yesterday so I could take some tutorial pictures to include with the pattern. It’s being tested on Ravelry as we speak! I’m making this version with Austermann Step, a [...]
