Free Pattern: Sunday Mornings Headband
Some Sunday mornings I like to pull my hair up, rather than spending a lot of time on it. One fall I decided to make a headband that could be worn year-round, but especially light enough to wear in the fall and spring. I also wanted something that could be worn with anything. This band […]

I love granny squares so when I stumbled across this amazing “Granny Square Stocking” a few years ago it was an instant favorite.

This snowflake is going to make a nice addition to our collection and I love that the pattern calls for worsted weight yarn and a G hook!

Weekly Wash #12: Mini Simple Square Cloths
I’ve always made washcloths 6-8″ so when I was given a few little mini cloths I thought “those are cute…. what do I do with them?”. Well, I ended up using them for a TON of things. These little 4.5″ cloths are great for removing make up, dishes, little piggies, even coasters. I found so […]
