You may remember [...]

After reviewing my progress in last week’s post, I decided to revise my list for the last half of the Year of Projects. This may not seem as ambitious as my original list, but for right now it works for me. I’ve been purposely vague about the exact numbers of projects, etc. because I would [...]

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.

I recently received several books focused on color knitting techniques from publishers for review. Each book is great in its own way, but all three take very different approaches. I’ll start with a short review of each book, and then I’ll talk about how they compare to each other. And then, I’ll have a giveaway [...]

I love welcoming the New Year. It isn’t a religious holiday, so I don’t have to worry about offending (or excluding) someone when I say “Happy New Year!” It’s also a great time to reflect on the past and think about the future! About a month after I started my blog in March, I set [...]
