When I started this blog, it was just a way to add more info about my crafting projects that might not be included in my Ravelry project page, but I feel like I’ve been doing a better job of adding info there so this has fallen by the wayside. It …
Wow, how did it become April already? I’ve been so lax about writing down details on my yarnie projects, but I guess I’ve just been too busy finishing one up and starting another. The cutest thing I made in March is definitely this adorable lovey. I made it just in time …
Well, I’m up to 6 hats so far this year! I really don’t know how that happens. I’m just a hat factory over here. Oh wait, it’s cause I love making them, plus I joined a Hat a Month KAL on Ravelry so I can keep fueling my obsession. This …
