green scribbley hats

new listing in my store... I really like them and have been very tempted to just keep them, but I don't have a nice coat to go with it.


oh well I guess I will just have to sell these and get a new coat for next winter

warm hands

I made these for me and my youngest daughter.

Every time I look at her mittens I think of Fruit Loops, I'm not really sure why.
I've used the same technique to make custom fit mittens for my littlest kids. Now that I'm happy with how it works, I just need to put it down on paper in a way that makes sense to other people and then I'll sell the pattern on my shop site.


My fingerless gloves are wonderful. I made them just for fun and got started making mittens for my youngest two. I haven't ever gotten back around to making mittens for myself. I think that I will probably make some flip top mittens for me.


they stand up pretty well to cold. we had a terrible cold snap about a month ago and we were stuck outside in -30 and these were the only hand coverings that I had with me. my thumbs and fingers were really suffering but the rest of my hands were in pretty good shape. now with Summer coming up I guess that would be a good time to make some mittens for myself :)

rock-a-bye baby

awww... these are so nice and cozy. a perfect soft little cocoon with a matching hat for perfect soft little babies to snuggle in. I wish I had a tiny person to put in them...



or I wish I had a grown up size just for me. nice.

but that would just kill my hands trying to do a tunisian stitch for something that big! so I guess I'll just make them for beautiful babies.

boop boop diddum daddum waddum chew

down in the meadow in an itty bitty pool
swam three little fishies and a momma fishy too
swim said the momma fishy, swim if you can
and they swam and they swam all over the dam



once upon a time

the sun was in the sky
and it began to rain

and it made food grow

and trees grew

The End

my son really likes this hat. I'm hanging on to it for a bit to see if it will sell, but if it doesn't I'm going to give in and let him have it next year.

It may be a Kindergarten present
