Pam & Joe's Afghan, Complete

  December 19, 2018      Ginna Gordon      No comments
 Making this afghan for my faerie godchildren, Pam & Joe, has been a joy, not to mention the biggest knitting project of my life - on the right. (Just as an aside, I also just finished the smallest knitting project ever, tiny slides (above left) for a friend with a broken finger who has...

First You Make the Cookies

 Birthday Dinner for David  Smooch loves to watch me make things, from beadwork to baking. She sits by the counter with her face as close to the action as possible. For his birthday, David asked for Chocolate Chip Cookies instead of a cake. Not just any chocolate chip cookies,...

GB's Awesome Brownie Kit

I knit in the car, if I don't have to drive. This time of year I get requests for the wrist warmers pattern,...

Afghan Parts

 All the parts for the colorful Afghan are finished, with the exception of 12 feet of 3 inch trim. Blocking was challenging, but I took care with the steam iron and didn't let it rest on the fibers for very long. I mostly hovered above it, afraid to scorch the few man-made fibers in the yarn. I...

Infinity Scarves

 Infinity scarves are so easy to make. Here, I use Sky Ranch Fiber's hand-dyed fingering weight yarn. Midnight is about 50 inches long, and the green, which the designer, Becky Mann calls Autumn (though I prefer Rusty Garden Ornament) is a bit longer. Make a scarf in the yarn and pattern you...

 This dragon went through three Southern Oregon winters and was chipped and peeling flakes of red paint all over the walkway. I was so anxious to paint it with my new find, Unicorn Spit, that I forgot to take a before photo. But here he is in all his glory. I highly recommend Unicorn Spit....
