A Change of Pace

I don't always knit, eat, drive girls to the barn or work on an on-line bead web site. Sometimes I crochet too.

    I've tried to learn to crochet, but, alas, all my efforts turn into knots, knots and more knots. The pattern you are using is very pretty. Guess it's another way to use up scraps.

    This will probably be an afghan or baby blanket. Carine said she wanted a baby blanket made with it...in time!

    Yes, I'm Kedj's sister. I've been enjoying your blog for some time. Keep us posted here in BC; we don't often hear news from your neck of the woods.

    Oh I like that so so much. I want to put in an order too. It looks like the kind of blanket that could become a childs comfort blanky. The pattern is so pretty.

    That is such a pretty blanket! I love it! - is it something a beginner could do?... :)

    Absolutely! Can you single crochet? Can you double crochet? Can you half-double crochet? And lastly, can you count to nine? Then you can do it. I'll send you the pattern--or will you be here for the Sunday School Treat? Or all-day-meeting?

    Yeah, I'll be up there this weekend - I think I can do all of the above, not sure about counting to 9 but maybe you can teach me that one. :) Sounds like fun!

Three Down, One to Go!

Yep, she passed. Heidi has her driver's licence. Now my days to chauffeur my girls to the barn are all but over. There may be times when I need to help out but they will be few and far between. It's already been a relief. Just this morning they were up, out and off to the barn with only a phone call to figure out which van to take. Next week should be easier since the plan is to import their already bought VW Rabbit. There's a progressive program here for getting your driver's licence. First, as in every other place, you have to pass a written test. That allows you to display a huge "L" on the back of your vehicle. A lot of kids have a word they use to say what it stands for but the DMV says it stands for "Learner". And for the next little while, is it two years? you practice driving. Sounds like what most DMVs require. Next you take the road test and if you pass you get to display an "N" which stands for "Novice". (Most kids have...

Is It Even Worth It? Hemlock Woes

Image
I've been working on this tam all afternoon and am beginning to wonder if it's even worth it to continue. This project has been nothing but trouble from the start. Years ago I began this as an afghan but soon realized I had confused this yarn (one skein) with a very similar yarn that had five skeins. I found out that I could easily convert it into a tam and a free pattern was available on Raverlry! I worked on it for a while and after following the pattern realized it was going to be way too big. Off the needles it went! The tam sat in the ether for 13 years and I just re-discovered it today. Unfortunately, there was no record of needle size. Nor was there any indication of what row I was on. Also, it appears that the yarn is disintegrating! I unraveled it for a few rows to get rid of the funky and raveled yarn and then tried to figure out what round I was on. Alas! I threw up my hands in frustration and just decided to finish it off by doing a rib of knit 2, purl 1. Except it ...

My New Favorite! Salted Caramel Mocha No Whip With Foam

Image
I tried this drink at Starbucks and knew I could make it at home for much cheaper. Salted Caramel Mocha with ...celery salt? What??? We had milk. We had chocolate sauce. We had caramel syrup. I made some turbonado sugar/sea salt mix and put it in an empty Starbucks "Hawaiian Sugar Sea Salt" Shaker - or so I thought. It turns out I had grabbed a bottle of celery salt and mixed it with the salt and the sugar. It really doesn't taste that bad but I think I'll be a little more careful next time.
