I filled my MP3 player with old mixed cds I made 10 years ago and it’s been making me happy. For example today, on my way to and from work here is what I heard: 1. ‘Homeboy’ by Adorable 2. ‘Girl You Know it’s True’ by Milli Vanilli 3. ‘Money Can’t Buy Me Happiness’ by […]

Done, haha, DONE!
By Caitlin Jane in crochetI finished my baktus scarf. I think I love it. Or it might just be that Misti Alpaca yarn is the yummiest yarn I’ve ever worked with. It’s wonderful. Jana, the scale made NO difference, haha, as you can see in the picture, I still have a ball of yarn- bigger than a golf ball […]

Knittin’ Mittens
By Caitlin Jane in crochetI frogged the first pair of glow-in-the-dark mittens I started for a couple reasons: 1, my needles and yarn didn’t match up and it was so tight I was getting frustrated and 2, the pattern was too hard for my small brain. Then, fortuitously, I found my old mitten pattern that I used to use […]

Resist no longer
By Caitlin Jane in crochetThis glow in the dark yarn’s been around for a long time now and up until yesterday, I’d avoided it. Although I’d looked at it many times because I have a deep, abiding love for all things glowy. It’s on sale at Zeller’s (and everywhere, I think) for half the original price so I went […]

I made a robot
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochet, GripingThis is all I had the time to hot glue together on Saturday. Then I glued her to the wall under her friends Gluey and Glovey. Now she won’t be lonely. Anyway, other than that, it’s business as usual. I’m completely, utterly, addicted to knitting and it’s making me crazy. I sure wish I hadn’t […]

Back to my roots.
By Caitlin Jane in crochetInspired by Jana (who is the best knitter I know), I bought some gorgeous yarn at Romni, dug around on Ravelry and found a pattern I thought was do-able and got to work. It was hard at first: I couldn’t even remember how to cast on and I stared at the needles willing my hands […]

Yarn help
By Caitlin Jane in crochetThe pattern I mentioned below uses yarn (Robin Casino Crepe 4 ply) I’ve never heard of nor can I find online so I want to buy something that’s a similar weight but I don’t really know what 4-ply means. Is this worsted? Sport weight? Sock? When I look on Ravelry it seems that all I […]

Leaving like a queen.
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, crochetInspired by etsy, I have made a bunch of crochet rings and I love them. Much like the acorns, they don’t use up a lot of stash but they’re so fast and instantly satisfying that I love love love them. You will love them too. I’ve already given two away-to my mom-and have been wearing […]

Birthday Cupcakes
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, foodWe’ve already established that I am no cake decorator (although not quite a wreckorator either) so these cupcakes, while cute, are not super duper. They tasted great and that’s all that counts, right? I used a box mix, one specifically for cupcakes that only used egg whites, rather than whole eggs. It was delicious. The […]
