As per request, the dresses. I apologize for the Instagramification of it all, but I’m 100% iPad these days and can’t be bothered to pay for the good photoshop app. I do not have a picture of #1 because it was a test run. The pattern is called The Staple Dress, and it’s designed by […]

Because no one asked
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodI picked up 3 fat quarters of the new Heather Ross fabric, Nursery Versery, at The Workroom yesterday. Heather Ross is possibly my very best fabric designer and every time I look at the back of my green quilt I wish I’d saved some of her Far Far Away 2 line. Then I remember that […]

Knitting season
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodThe weather has cooled considerably and I’ve resumed knitting. It helps that purl has posted a few simple but classic patterns. I also resume knitting this time of year because there is suddenly an influx of tv things to watch. This is the second version of this hat I’ve knit this week. One may well […]

Leaving.
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, crochet, love, making stuff is goodIn a few short hours I will be leaving for the airport. I’m headed for England, my first cousin is getting married next weekend and I’m so excited. I think it’s 7 years since I was there last. I’m really terrible with packing, my choices were a too small suitcase and a too big suitcase. […]

Dolly quilt
By Caitlin Jane in babies, crochet, making stuff is goodSmall projects can be so satisfying. This quilt used up a small pile of collected scraps and one fat quarter for the back and binding. I used small pieces of batting, zigged together. It’s such an easy project. The Fabricland at North York Centre is closing and has lots of interesting things on sale so […]

Hats!
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, clothes, crochet, making stuff is goodI have a big head. There. I said it on my blog. The problem with a big head is that I can never find a hat that fits. At least, not inexpensive, mass produced hats. Nothing cute, certainly. And like most clothes that don’t fit properly, a jammed down hat looks terrible, feels bad, and […]

Birthday follow-up
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, crochet, making stuff is goodMy birthday always seems to last longer than just the day of and this year was no exception. Shannon and I picked up my new sewing machine last week and I have fallen deeply, seriously, in love. It’s pretty much the best thing I own! As you can see, it’s another Janome but it’s an […]

How you can help
By Caitlin Jane in babies, crochet, Griping, making stuff is goodHere is a picture my lady Libs posted yesterday on Facebook. It’s her happy baby Niamh enjoying herself at the park while sitting on a quilt I gave her. See? It is a picture of the thing I made and gave away being used. This is what I wish everyone I gave my shit to […]

Sewing, sewing, gone
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodThis is what my sewing table looks like. Looked like. I did tidy it up, sort of, after I took this. I’m working on so many things at once and it does get a little chaotic at times. Mostly I’m in the plotting and scheming portion of the show. This involves pulling out stacks of […]
