A New Knit Hat for Sarah
I’ve mentioned before how much I’ve enjoyed watching Orphan Black the science fiction series from BBC America and Netflix. While it’s taken the show 5 seasons to tell the story, the actual timeline of the events portrayed is around a year, maybe a year and a half. Since the show is set in Canada, the…
Wine Bottle Sweaters To Knit
Wine bottle sweaters are a fun craft for decor or gift giving. It’s the perfect opportunity to try a new stitch or practice a new technique. Today I have two samples; one is a cabled pattern with an open collar and the other is a stranded knit with the wine bottle equivalent of a turtleneck….
A Cloche Hat Inspired by Julia Ormond in Legends of the Fall
On the last Monday of each month, a group of bloggers participate in a #MovieMondayChallenge, hosted by C’mon Get Crafty!

Halloween Projects with Cricut Explore Air
I mentioned in another post that I’m “sharing” a Cricut Explore Air with my daughter and sister. So far, my daughter has been making very good use of it. She’s created a variety of Fall and Halloween Projects using the Cricut and I thought you’d like to see them.

Grapevine Swag for A Porch
When I was in Maryland this Spring my sister and I worked on making a grapevine swag for her porch. It turned out really nice! The grapevines came from an area of her garden that she cleared, making this project a good candidate for the Monthly Craft Room Destash Challenge.
Study Knit Straps for Belts or Bags
I’m still working on the Toy Tote. It has grown to over 500 stitches around so each round takes me a good chunk of time to complete. Rather than bring the play surface to work on while I was travelling last week, I decided to work on the knit straps and pouch that help form…
