If you hadn’t heard the latest on new yarns released by Yarnspirations, they’ve recently released a special variant of their popular Bernat Maker yarn called Bernat Maker Outdoor.

Salutations! I’ve got a delightful green baby blanket pattern to share with you all today! This blanket was originally published on my other, soon-to-be defunct blog site and I needed to get it transferred over here before I flipped the off switch.

Godric’s House Color Cowl – Free Knitting Pattern

March 23, 2018 By Amanda Leave a Comment

One of the many fandoms I love and tend to geek out on when given the opportunity is the Harry Potter book series by JK Rowling.

Felted Valentine’s Pouch – Free Crochet Pattern

February 13, 2018 By Amanda Leave a Comment

Hello and Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

As the age old saying goes (or at least from the moment George R.R. Martin published his Song of Ice and Fire series turned mega HBO hit Game of Thrones), ‘Winter is coming!’ Despite it being such a warm and humid fall, the weather is finally turning chilly and a few frosty mornings have graced our presence here in Western North Carolina (we even had some snow the weekend before

How many of my crafty friends out there love Halloween?!? I think in some way or another, everyone has a positive affiliation to the fun and spook-filled holiday.
