Travel: Notes on a CT/NY Yarnshop (Part 1)
Posted in in progress, stash, travel on November 26, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been trying to write one big post on my trip to CT/NY and I’ve come to realize that: a) that hypothetical post is going to be really long; b) writing such a long post is kinda daunting (for reasons I can’t explain); c) I feel like I can’t post other things until I get [...]

Here’s a little tasty treat (while I gather my thoughts about the CT/NY trip). This little number is for Kyle and Kelly’s (soon to be) little munchkin! All that’s left is to weave in ends and sew on a button and a button hole. Good thing too, because Kelly was due TODAY! No [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m leaving tomorrow for a (long-)long-weekend in New York City, with a quick jaunt to CT for some family time. And you know what that means…
YARN TOURISM!
New York:
I will absolutely be checking in at Purl in Soho as I very much enjoy the Purl Bee, their online journal. Added to which, it seems that Purl [...]

I am an avid reader of the Crafty Daisies blog– there is a lot of beautiful and diverse crafting going on over there and they are renown for their fabulous tutorials: learn to crochet and learn to embroider.
