Taming the Yarn Beasts

Keeping things neat and organized makes a space not only pleasant to look at but locating things much easier. I'm a well organized person by nature and nurture. I was probably the neatest kid in school with an actual organized toy box (so not kidding). And I also was taught well by the US military… Continue reading Taming the Yarn Beasts

Magic Ball of Scrap Yarn 

In making the multi-coloured, multi-stitch afghan, I'm ending up with a bunch of smaller scrap yarn pieces. Some pieces are not even long enough to make it across the blanket with single crochet stitches. I have a pile of them which started to get messy and tangled.

Multi-tasking and memories

This past week I've finally decided on my next project... projects... I started three different crochet projects and by today one of them has been completed.

Next Project?

I'm back in my thoughts of what to do for my next project, fiber art this time for sure. I have just completed a project for myself recently. I haven't made anything for myself in, well, ever, so I decided to go all out and use some of those yarn "leftovers" and make something just… Continue reading Next Project?
