These are some of the crochet flowers I've been making that I talked about here yesterday.

I kind of fell off the face of the earth again. Sorry about that. So here is the last thing I've completed, which isn't saying a lot cause it only took about two or three hours. It's a flowery headband thingie. The pattern is from Krafty Katie's Blog and the flower is an "Irish Rose" crochet motif ...

This was taken right after she finished it up, so it's all red and blotchy still, but I'll get a better pic once it heals up in a few weeks. I swear I'm going to get back to blogging pretty soon.

This is a fully finished Emmaline Pullover from the Spring/Summer 2010 issue of Knitty. I started it three days ago at work and finished it just now. This is the fastest sweater I've ever knit, but probably because I made the Small size to fit my headless, armless dress form lady here instead...

Gee, I wonder why this yarn company didn't stay in business.... For the curious, this is an ad from the fall 1980 issue of a weaving magazine that one of my customers gave me. It cracked me up all day the day I got it, so I had to share it with the world right away. That's why this is a blurry...

Pogo printers are pretty much dirt cheap on ebay right now. My friend Nic got one for just $25. I remember wanting one back when they were new and selling for about $100-150, so this is great news to me. Even better news, the ZINK paper that the Pogo prints on can be manipulated in all kinds of fun ...

I had a decently productive week,  but I still feel like a slacker. Why is that? I seem to be following my pattern of abandoning a top-down sweater just after the arms get separated and the boring body knitting starts. I only did about two repeats of the lace pattern on the Feb. Lady Sweater ...

This week I put up all the paper flowers and things that I made a while back with the Silhouette Machine and started the big spring clearance sale at the shop. YAY! I also took more pictures of my Grandson Artie aka AJ aka Babyman. Here's one of those because he's insanely cute and has the best wido...

I've been crafting my butt off over here. Really. OK, mostly this week (March 1st - 7th) I just worked on my February Lady Sweater. I'm using the new Debbie Stoller Bamboo Ewe yarn from Red Heart, and despite the brand name, this stuff is pretty nice. It's supposedly "Exclusively at JoAnn's!" ...

My new Silhouette SD die cutting machine got here this weekend, and it works just as advertised. I love this thing! It can cut out any .bmp file and any TrueType font you happen to have on your computer. No stupid, expensive cartridges to buy, and it'll cut without being on the computer if you save ...

Man, this thing was fast even doing other stuff at the same time. It's a sample scarf to show off two new yarns at the shop, and it looks much better in person because it has sparkles that the iphone camera can't capture.  1 strand of Universal's "Star Light", plus one of Plymouth's KAOS seri...

. I finally finished this bracelet last week that started out as a necklace a long time ago. I need to get back to the beading before I forget how to close up the jump rings without a gap. haha

I just purchased a Silhouette SD Die Cutter from Overstock.com at a really good price. I rationalized it by saying if I make and sell 60 6-inch vinyl stickers at $5 each It'll pay for itself. That's perfectly reasonable, right? (On second thought, I may be asking the wrong people about this. haha) I...

This is a late, photoless update because I'm lame like that. During Week 4 again all I did was knit on things every day and add more unfinished projects to my Ravelry counter over there. I guess I also did more research on the resin jewelry. I read enough to know that I won't be doing that un...

  OK, so last week I was a slacker and didn't make an update post. During Week 2 I finished up this baby blanket for Artie and got my Ravelry projects page a little more organized. I also took more pictures of projects and added that progress bar over there on the right.  The blanket is abou...

Well, the end of the first week of Craft Or Bust is here, and I haven't done diddly squat in the way of getting my WIP's more organized or documenting them. All I did this week was make that new banner up there for this blog, make a badge for Craft Or Bust, and work on a few knitting WIP's. I'm gonn...

I'm going to participate in Craft or Bust 2010 in an effort to get better about documenting my crafty pursuits in the new year. What does this mean? You can follow that link to see the rules, but pretty much it means I've committed myself to working on at least one crafty project per week and docume...
