Knitting is therapeutic, I tell you (except, of course, for those times you discover a mistake several rows back and you must unravel an hour’s worth of work while cursing quietly). But for the most part, curling up in a comfy spot with a hot cup of something and a giant pile of fluffy yarn…well, […]
10 Nautical Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns
I’m doing a lot of knitting these days. It makes me feel like I’m doing something on these days when we can’t leave the house to do much else. I feel so productive, creating things at home. I know a lot of people are doing different things while they’re home – baking bread, learning an […]
Free Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern — The Dropstitch Blanket
Wanna know one of my favorite parts about knitting blankets for babies? They’re small enough that I can have the fun of experimenting with different patterns and stitches, without being locked into a project for six months (usually!).

Make this easy knitting pattern – Mock Cable Baby Blanket
I love the look of cable knits. They make such gorgeous hats and sweaters. I think cable knitting scares a lot of people, but it’s one of those things you just have to sit down and…do…and you realize after you try it once or twice that the concept is really pretty simple. It is not, however, […]
Some of My Favorite Knitting Supplies
I’m a sucker for fun knitting supplies. Do you know what I mean? Those knitting supplies that aren’t necessarily essential, but are so cute and so much fun and that just make you happy. Things like cute stitch markers for knitting. Or embroidery scissors shaped like a stork (the scissors are the beak!! Do you […]
