Fat Cat Knits!

{ 9 Comments }

Yes, I said Knits.  Not well but I wanted to have another go at it.  My Mom tried to teach me when I was maybe 8 or 10.  Knitting frustrated me, my gauge was too tight, so tight I couldn’t get the needle under the stitches.  It made me crazy!  So Mom taught me to Crochet and [...]

Husband asks “That’s your phone, are you going to [...]

NYOBE Complete…finally

Way back in August/September (so far back I can’t remember) I joined the fall colors Not Your Ordinary Block Exchange on Ravelry.  Basically there were 12 knitters/crocheters in a group.  Everyone was to make twelve, 12inch squares, keep one for yourself and mail one to each person in your group.  I thought this would be [...]
