I have an oldie, but a goodie for you today from my previous blog! It’s a take on a traditional circle mandala but by using different colors placed strategically on the mandala, it resembles a dartboard. Genius I say! See for yourself below and make one today to adorn your game room or office space….
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. This yarn is constructed similarly to the original Bernat Maker that we know and love (tube like yarn lightly stuffed inside to give it volume), the main…
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. In prep for the transition though, I’ve reviewed and refined the pattern so…
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. Back in January, I attended a local Harry Potter themed event here in downtown Asheville and ambitiously made it my goal to knit something for the event to sport…

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. Whether it’s dressing up yourself or your kids, handing out candy, visiting a haunted house, partaking in a fall festival, or going all out with the gory…
For the last several months, I’ve been toying with the idea of teaching crochet classes locally, but haven’t made the leap to do so just yet. I wanted to prepare myself for such a venture and while I have many, many years experience crocheting, I don’t really have any formal teaching experience. I did some research…
I don’t know about you all, but I’ve got to have my coffee first thing in the morning to really get the day going. To that degree, I almost never have time to brew any before I hustle out of the house, kids in tow to drop off at daycare, and make my way to…
