This morning I dragged myself out of bed for day two of Vogue Knitting Live. I don’t know if it was because of the cold weather yesterday or all the excitement from the event, but I was extra sleepy this morning. I decided to wear the Irish rose choker I made myself last year. I [...]

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t really notice the extra day in February. It seemed to slip by pretty quickly anyway! Now that we are in March, I’m reflecting on my progress to Surmount the Stash in 2012 along with Revelations of a Delusional Knitter (Ravelry group here). Since my January progress report, [...]

(This post is part of my Year of Projects: Crochet Master Class: Lessons and Projects from Today’s Top Crocheters series.) January was filled with huge stressful projects – of the crochet kind as well as of the full-time job kind. In the last two weeks, I’ve turned to some smaller projects that could be easily completed [...]

Thanks to everyone who commented about my button choices for the Irish Rose choker. In the end, I went with one of the small coordinating red buttons. There’s so much I like about this project: I used stash yarn from a swap, I worked with a motif that I love, I practiced another technique from [...]

It’s that time of the week again, when I take stock of my progress towards my craft goals. Personal crafting goals 1. Work my way through Crochet Master Class: Lessons and Projects from Today’s Top Crocheters. Instead of using the patterns, I’d like to create my own project (for myself and/or for teaching) for each technique/skill [...]

Although January was a hectic month, I did manage to reduce my stash a wee bit. My accomplishments: I sorted through my crochet and knitting magazines, and donated 50 to a local guild. I completed my secret project, which used up 8 skeins of yarn. I went to my favorite local yarn shop with my [...]

Wow, I have been pretty negligent in updating my craft goals! In my defense, I did have to take almost two weeks off from the blog because of various life stuff (mostly work). I don’t actually have all that much to report as a result, but here goes… Personal crafting goals 1. Work my way [...]
