A Very Yarny Christmas
If you celebrate Christmas, how was yours? If not, how was your weekend? My Christmas was a pretty good one! My Mom is here with us, so she and my DH and I opened gifts together. They both liked what I got them, which is always nice. I got some great yarny gifts. My DH… Continue reading A Very Yarny Christmas
Blast from the Past
When I was little, one of my go-to crafts was weaving potholders out of cotton loops. My parents were happy to keep me stocked with loops because it was relatively harmless and inexpensive, and it kept me mostly quiet.

Where’s Santa Now?
For the curious, you can track Santa either on NORAD’s Santa Tracker here or on Google’s Santa tracker here. They are both wacky yet informative fun 🙂 Happy Christmas Eve!

Bohus knitting has a reputation for being somewhat tough to do. It is stranded colorwork like Fair Isle, but you will sometimes have more than two colors you are dealing… Continue reading Blue Shimmer Progress
Cookiemageddon
Today was cookie baking day at our house. We don’t ordinarily bother with cookies, or if we do it’s just a batch or two. Mom is a Christmas elf though, so this year cookies were happening! The fridge looked like this this morning – packed with doughs mixed earlier this week and ready to bake,… Continue reading Cookiemageddon
