I didn’t much like the shuttle that came with the loom, as it feels harsh to my hand. When I was looking at it, I suddenly had the image of it being […]
Yes, I realize that’s not a large demographic - but these are such great photos that I had to post them.
Cakeyvoice has knitted the entire cast of George Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead“… and then re-enacted the movie here.
Now, if that’s not ambitious enough, here’s “Shaun of the Dead“, knitted of course!
Not for the sqeamish, […]
Well, first of all, my website server & email are back up and running! If you emailed my between Thursday and this morning and haven’t received a reply, please re-send your message.
Now to the real post….
Crafting for a cause: I enjoy creating for creating’s sake, but there is a lot of good that we can […]
I was going to write a post about the different things you can do with raw silk tussah or silk hankies… but since I can’t post photos - that would be kind of boring!
So… I found something else interesting online. Knitted, crocheted or woven iPod pockets & bags! I love being able to use my […]
My server is still down, which is why some of the photos aren’t showing up… and my mail still isn’t coming through. It sounds like this was a major server failure all over western Canada! I’ll keep everyone posted :-)

Here’s an “Addison” hat, with shell stitches.
A Rose is a Rose….
I had to post this just for the cute factor: the Kitty […]

Lay some household objects onto graph paper, making the shape of a person:
Trace around it:
Glue it to lightweight cardboard and cut it out:
Trace around it on fabric, and start crocheting!
