Scarf Girl

by 123pizza on January 22, 2009

I posted this picture on twitter yesterday showing my attempt at wearing a scarf all day. You know, wearing the scarf as an accessory and not as a piece to keep warm. I made this scarf in hopes that I would actually wear it and so far it has been hanging in the coat closet. [...]

Stashing The Stash

by 123pizza on January 21, 2009

The other day my friend, JS, asked me how I stashed my yarn. Before I could answer her she told me how our friend, CH, keeps her yarn in a tote. (Well, of course, what else are you supposed to do with it?) She, JS, then proceeded to say how she couldn’t do that, have [...]

Using Your Talents

by 123pizza on January 12, 2009

Question: How are you using your talents to further God’s Kingdom? I am knitting. I don’t have all the details worked out yet but I’d like to knit hats to give away to the homeless. The homeless have been on my heart for quite some time. Especially when I am knitting a hat or scarf. [...]

So I found this yarn I really like. It’s 50% off at Michaels this week so I bought some. I bought some in colors I like so I could knit a few things for me. Hubby likes the hat I made so much he wants another one…with a few modifications. Not only that, he really [...]

Playing With Fun Fur

by 123pizza on January 3, 2009

For Christmas last year I received several skeins of Fun Fur. I had no idea what to do with the yarn. I’m not a scarf girl and couldn’t see myself wearing a hat made out of it. Then I found Candy Babies: Cute Crochet For Wee Ones. It had the most adorable cardigan that would [...]

Teaching Niece and Other Neighbor Girl To Crochet

by 123pizza on December 29, 2008

I’ve mentioned that I taught myself to crochet a couple of weekends ago. Today I was working on a scarf for my daughter while a couple of the neighbor girls were over playing with E. They saw what I was doing and wanted to learn how to crochet also. Ok. No big deal. Except I’m [...]
