Rather Productive

2008-07-25T21:17:21Z

I had this feeling it had been months since I'd updated my knitting projects here, but looking back I see it has been just over a month since the last substantive update. Why did I think it had been so long? Quite frankly, because I've finished so...

More!!!

2008-07-25T20:17:42Z

So very proud of myself, I knitted TWO (2) beanies last night!!! I'm pretty tired today because I stayed up late to finish it. I was just going to "start" a 2nd beanie, but then Good Will Hunting came on, and I'm a HUGE Matt Damon fan, so I was ...

Burning time...

2008-07-25T16:34:56Z

I'm wasting time until I visit a new yarn shop. Wah, if they do not have my aluminum needles I am going to lose it. ** NEEDLE RANT ** I do not understand people and their wooden or bamboo or plastic needles. Just don't understand. I LUUUUUUU...

an outing to de afstap

2008-07-24T15:42:24Z

I decided that since we had a long day yesterday that I would take today to go by myself to Amsterdam. Erik agreed and off I went. I went to the train station in Haarlem, bought myself a ticket and set off. I thought it was a good sign that my yar...

How to Make a Pom-Pom

2008-07-23T15:15:55Z

These are so fun to make! The size of the pom-pom will depend on the size of the donut-shaped pieces. The inner hole should be half the size of the original circle. I had some problems cutting the yarn between the paper pieces on Step 4, so I s...

New blog at MaribelMade.com

2008-07-24T12:24:32Z

I've left this place hanging for quite a while. Not planning on changing that, I just wanted to redirect any soul out there that might come across this to my new and improved blog at MaribelMade.com. The new blog focuses on less talk and more on a...

2008-07-24T05:59:29Z

Alright, YAY, look what I did tonight! A whole 3 inches of a beanie! At least I actually did it! I'm proud of myself for actually getting that far! To the right...those are some of the beanies I have done for my "100 beanies for the homel...

All the views

2008-07-24T04:20:40Z

Finally! A couple of photos of our remodeled kitchen. It is finally finished! Our friend Aaron did the work and he did a fantastic job but it took a long time. He started in March and finally finished about 2 weeks ago. Here is Luan and Augu...

I'm bored...

2008-07-23T20:28:11Z

I'm stuck at work and bored to death! I have a sudden urge to knit. I haven't knitted in the last 2 weeks. Monday night I feel asleep on my bed sitting with my Aunt's knitting books. Tuesday night (last night) I feel asleep on my bed after goin...

Hand Springs Fingerless Mitts

2008-07-23T16:06:10Z

Hello lovelies! Sometimes I use Flickr as a blog instead of posting here on my craft blog. That is because there are more of my crafty friends on Flickr than there are on Vox and they can easily post comments there. So, before I forget... Here...

yarn bombing.

knit graffiti. so fun! i don't know why there hasn't already been a book about this (or maybe there has and it slipped past my radar - not hard to do). regardless, some really awesome, clever ladies in vancouver are working on a book called yarn...

My So Called Scarf

2008-07-21T17:31:37Z

The name of this pattern is actually My So Called Scarf, which I have never really gotten. I tried to connect it back to that old tv show My So Called Life, but it has nothing to do with the scarf pattern name. There is a story behind the patter...

Lacy Spring Scarf

2008-07-20T18:25:31Z

I just finished this lovely "Spring Scarf" from a pattern that I got from www.knitpicks.com. This was the first time that I have ever knit lace, and I have to say that it was nice getting to do something different as I went along instead of doing ...

Summer is almost halfway over, thank goodness

2008-07-20T14:15:52Z

I'm not a fan of hot weather, especially not the humid variety of hot we get here in the Mid-Atlantic states. I usually don't do much crafting in the summer, but I guess I'm subconsciously (or maybe consciously) trying to will summer to be over b...

heads and toes

2008-07-20T06:38:33Z

I finished my dream swatch headwrap last Wednesday. I had to block it to try to get it to curl less and we went away for a bit but, of course, that doesn't work very well and it still curls a bit. I don't think you can tell when it is on, though. ...

Lovely Needle Case

2008-07-19T23:56:57Z

I found this exquisite knitting needle case on eBay when I first started knitting. They come in all sorts of pretty colors. There's room for all of my needles, plus there is a detachable matching pouch that velcros to the corner of the case. I lik...

Introducing Bellatrix

2008-07-19T22:34:26Z

Having made my decision, I did not wait to put it into practice. I started knitting Bellatrix as written, but the cast on edge was too tight, even as a tubular cast on, and I wasn't sure about about the gauge. So since I was frogging anyway, I sw...
