There are a couple new Maddy dolls in the world now. One of them went in the mail yesterday morning to go live with her new mommy. The other one won’t get sent until next year when her mommy gets old enough. I just wanted to get the doll made so it would be ready….

Warm Feet for the New Year
We had a couple of cold days in the first week of this year so I’ve been making slippers for us. It’s a little weird trying to take a picture of your own feet so forgive the terrible photo. The pattern is Better Dorm Booties for Men by Kris Basta. I made the size 11-12,…
Maddy Doll and Her Wardrobe
This is the finished Maddy Doll and all the clothes that I made for her. It would be too easy to just keep making more clothes, but I have to call it quits at some point. She’s going in the mail Monday morning to go live with my niece. The pattern for Maddy is a…
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! It’s almost time to start making New Year’s Resolutions. What will you choose to make a priority in your life for the coming year? One thing that I want to do for 2022 is tame my pile of unfinished projects. I’ve been spending time working on a few…
UFO Sightings
I’m surrounded by UFOs. They’re laying around almost everywhere. There are blankets, dishcloths, sweaters, a vest, bags, slippers…basically anything you can make out of yarn, there’s probably one laying around my house partially completed. Quite a large number of things simply need the ends woven in or need buttons or zippers sewn on. This project…
Another Blanket to Finish
This is a Hue Shift Afghan. I got the kit from Knit Picks a long time ago. I’d planned to knit one square per day to keep me on track for finishing it, but life gets in the way and other projects look like more fun sometimes so here we are years later. Look at…
The (Almost) Never-Ending Blanket
It’s taken me years, but I finally finished my Granny Stripe blanket! I can’t even remember when I started making this thing; I’m sure it was more than five years ago before we moved into town. But it’s done now so who cares how long it took, especially when it’s so pretty! The colors work…
Making waves
I finished a throw Tuesday for one of my nieces. The yarn is Knit Picks Brava Sport. It’s one of their Hue Shift afghan kits. I didn’t want to knit it like the pattern, though, so I made a crocheted ripple. There are 10 balls of colored yarn in the kit and 2 balls of…
New Puffs
I’ve knitted 25 more hexipuffs. There are now 372 of the little things. I’ve been joining a few of them into blocks. Then I’ll arrange the blocks and join them. This is definitely not a quick project!
Sturgis or Bust
It’s 3:00 a.m. and I’m sitting in an RV park bathroom finishing up a sock. We headed out for our annual trip to Sturgis yesterday. It was a nice day for riding even if we did get into a little bit of rain. The air pump for our mattress wouldn’t work last night. Then Dale…
