My life as a crafter using ink and paper and yarn and whatever else comes to mind.

It's 3 am and I just finished knitting the Cruzado Cowl. I'm not sure why I stay up really late like this. I'm going to be so tired tomorrow. But. The cowl is done. (Well almost done. I still have to weave in two ends.)
Arya's birthday is in November, although we're not sure exactly which day. In honor of her 2nd birthday, I decided to make her another sweater. Alex and I looked through Ravelry and loved the Dogosaurus Rex pattern by Paton's. Unfortunately, it's from an out-of-print book by Paton's, "Another Dog's Life." Fortunately, I found it from a seller in Canada. (Yay!) It was a bit expensive considering that I only wanted one of the patterns, but what a cute pattern! I made it a bit too big, but it's still really cute on her!
After piles and piles of laundry, I finally sat down and made this card. It's not very fancy but should mail without extra postage which is a plus. Thanks for stopping by!
I finally took the plunge and started a sweater. As a fat person, I find it hard to take on the challenge of making fitted clothes, like a sweater. (Yes, I call myself fat - it's just a description, like short or blue-eyed.) Sweaters seem like they are hard to fit and a lot of work. Plus, it's really hard to find plus sized patterns that I like. Last winter, I finally found a pattern. A raglan-style cardigan knit in cotton called the Branching Lace Sweater by Sian Brown Knitwear Design in the August 2018 issue of Simply Knitting. I decided to give it a go. But I don't like knitting with cotton, so I needed a different yarn. I had a stash of 22 skeins of Knit Picks Andean Silk that I purchased more than ten years ago. It was past time that I used the yarn but I was still hesitant. It took an epiphany about relative cost to get me to use it. I realized I was hesitant because I was afraid I would mess up the project and ruin my beautiful, soft, silky Jade yarn.
