As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a little obsessed with knitting chunky blankets right now. They’re just so squishy and warm and beautiful and warm and soft…and…warrrrrrm! We’re all about the hygge when it’s cold outside and these make it so tempting to sit on my couch with a book (or more yarn!) and a cup […]
Girl Scouts Daisy Think Like a Programmer Badge Ideas
My Girl Scouts are working on their Think Like a Programmer badge this year. The Daisies are having a great time, and I like this badge for Girl Scouts because you can incorporate a bunch of different STEM activities and start getting them interested in engineering and how things work. Our local library just got a […]
10 Gifts for Knitters in Your Life
This is always dangerous territory for me. I try to write about gifts for knitters…and I inevitably end up tempted to buy it all. It can be justified, though, right? It’s not really for me. It’s for me to make nice things for everyone else. I’m a giver. A sacrificer. And if I must buy some personalized knitting […]
A Free Delightfully Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern
I’m obsessed with super-bulky blankets right now. I love the way they look. I love the way they feel. I love that they have some heft (seriously, it’s like sleeping under a weighted blanket). And I love, love, love that they’re so frigging warm. I’m always cold in this house. Everyone else complains about being […]
Pinecone Angel Christmas Crafts For Kids
When I was in college, my aunt sent me a Christmas care package with two tiny pinecone angels she and her kids made for me. Those little angels followed me all through college, and on to my first apartment. They were so stinking cute. That’s why I like these. They’re Christmas crafts for kids, but […]
Easy Knitting Pattern: Knit The Simple Sailboat Blanket
This easy knitting pattern might be my favorite baby blanket I’ve made recently. I think maybe I say that about all of them because baby blankets, in general, are delightful, and other than someone picking a bad color, I’ve never seen a truly ugly baby blanket. But I especially love this one. Look! Tiny boats! […]
10 Beautiful Free Granny Squares to Crochet This Summer
I’ve always been a better knitter than crocheter. I can’t explain why — logically, it seems like it should be much easier to handle one crochet hook than two needles. But I picked up knitting pretty quickly and crocheting has always been a challenge. One day, I finally sat down with a giant skein of […]
21 Handmade Valentine’s Day Cards
I love a good handmade Valentine’s Day card. We don’t go crazy here for Valentine’s Day, but we try to have a nice dinner and a very small treat for each person and probably something chocolatey for dessert. Yes. Definitely something chocolatey. We’re selective about who we make our handmade cards for — we don’t […]
How to Knit the Drop Stitch
I’ve been working on this sweet drop stitch blanket lately. I have to come up with someone to give it to — I don’t know anyone having a baby soon, so I don’t know. I could keep it tucked away until I hear of a new baby coming, and run the risk of forgetting that […]
How to Knit An Adorable Snowman Dishcloth
These were a fun, fast knitting project that ended up being wildly useful. We can always use dishcloths around here and we never seem to have enough. And the snowman dishcloth is festive for this time of year. I will say — the pattern is subtle. But it’s also very simple, and a good way […]
