Many Creative Gifts -- "be thoughtful": August 2014
http://manycreativegifts.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. Project 2 is Underway! But wait, you ask, what happened with Project 1? Now, to go pick out yarn that I already have. I'm thinking this beautiful Rowan Softknit Cotton. I've got 5 balls of it (who buys just 5 balls, what was I thinking? Mmmm, and different colors too. I guess it was for a long-forgotten project). Hopefully I will have enough or be able to hunt down some more. Ok, now I guess I should do a knit swatch and a crochet swatch to start figuring all of this out! Featu...

Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Crochet, Coral Reefs, and TED. Watching 60 Minutes tonight and the segment on TED Talks reminded me of one of the first TED Talks I saw back in 2009 - "The Beautiful Math of Coral". By Margaret Wertheim. She's the science writer who, along with her sister Christine, founded the Institute for Figuring. About the exhibit and a list of the contributors to the exhibit here. Labels: crochet coral reef. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Friday, April 10, 2015. A Special Anniversary Discount.

Many Creative Gifts -- "be thoughtful": March 2015
http://manycreativegifts.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. A number of my friends are having babies! And boys, so I've been trying to find out-of-the ordinary ways to make some boy baby gifts. I came across these two knit baby hat patterns that I just love: Tegan. By Julie Taylor and a scalloped hat. Now, mind you, I can do simple knitting, but using DPNs (double point needles) and a circular needle are quite new to me. Joelle from Wandering Wool. I think the skull pattern turned out pretty good too since it was my first try at using two...

Many Creative Gifts -- "be thoughtful": February 2015

Friday, February 20, 2015. For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while now, you know that (years ago! She decided not too long ago (thankfully she is doing better and better, albeit slowly) that, instead of a vest (and we'll come back to that project because I still have the yarn.), she would like a bolero of sorts - something short with short sleeves, in a neutral color, with a pink flower. So, first things first, I decided to knit the bolero because I came across this simple pattern.

Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Little Green Boxes and 3 Tips for Organizing the Kitchen. Well, I am getting off to a slow start this year with the blog, but maybe I'm striving for crochet perfection (or at least correct and useful information) too much! So, in the mean time, I'm posting about my New Year's Cleaning (rather than Spring Cleaning) in the hopes that it will be helpful to you. And, by getting organized and decluttered, I'm hoping my creativity will get a boost as well. We've been trying to eat ...

Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Metro Yarn Crawl 2015! Hard to believe another yarn crawl has come and gone! Two friends and I headed to Virginia last Tuesday and visited Nature's Yarn, Aylin's Woolgatherer, and Uniquities. The first stop was Nature's Yarn. Then it was on to Aylin's. We were starved, so after a quick South American chicken lunch, we were back on the road to. It was definitely Mary's favorite, and she scored some wonderful sock yarn and a yarn bowl at an awesome price. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
