Well, my long journey back to the United States is over and I’m getting settled back in. I’m ready to hug and kiss my grandsons. The furry grandchild is happy to give me doggie kisses but it’s just not the same. For this week’s feature I chose an interesting project for repairing chipped veneer so…

Small projects like socks are great ways to keep myself occupied while trying out new stitches, construction techniques and working my way through…
I’m sure I’ve posted this elsewhere, but the Outlander TV show inspired me to get back into knit and crochet. I started out crocheting and from there relearned how to knit. I am very happy to see this Sassenach cowl from Pam at Crochetpreneur. It features a mobius twist plus front and back post double…
