What's that? You thought I was on a yarn diet? Yeah, me too. *sigh* Vacation yarn doesn't count, right? ...Right? The first store I visited with my long-suffering husband was The Yarnery. I've had family in St. Paul for years and this was the first time I'd been there--shameful! It was a friendly store in… Continue reading Twin Cities Yarn Haul

Yarn Diet – April & May 2019
I've been putting off doing this post because I'm sort of embarrassed at what an EPIC FAILURE my yarn diet was the past couple months. I don't even want to post what I bought.

My toddler was sick, and then… Continue reading Spring Has Sprung! Sort Of.

Great! I didn't buy any yarn or craft supplies of any kind (at least since Feb… Continue reading Yarn Diet – February 2019 Review
What I’m Working On – March 2, 2019
This week's project is baby beanies. I have several balls of very nice yarn (merino/silk blends, that kind of thing) that are too small to do much else with. They'd make a good striped scrap scarf project but I don't have enough yardage to complete one and I'm not interested in hoarding them for a… Continue reading What I’m Working On – March 2, 2019
The Diet Starts Now
To borrow a term from the beauty community, I'm going to shop my stash for projects this year.
