I don't think a soul on this Earth hasn't been touched by the tragedy that has recently befallen the beautiful land and people of Haiti. Outpouring of support has come from so many people and places, and I'm proud this moment to be a knitter, a Ravelry member, and specifically a member of a particular group on Ravelry called Lazy, Stupid, and Godless.LSG to some may sound like a group to be

I know I promised the new pattern by now, but life just sneaks up on me sometimes. It's coming, and soon!For now though, I have a quick and dirty shameless plug for my Etsy shop (all stitch markers on sale!) and my Ravelry pattern (also available on my Etsy)! The Pinwheel Ruffles Hat I've been going on and on about is a fast knit, and perfect for the holidays when done in appropriate colors. See?

I present my newest pattern!This is the Pinwheel Ruffles Hat. I had much internal struggling over whether or not to charge for this pattern, but in the end I decided that I had put a lot of work into designing this particular hat and even more work into designing the PDF pattern, and that with all the hard work of the pattern testers who helped me edit this pattern and make sure it was clear,

In yet another surprising turn of events, I actually managed to accomplish more off of my 'to do soon' list! You'll recall I hinted before about another pattern to offer, and I've finally completed it. It's in testing right now, but will be polished up and available sometime in the very near future. Chances are it will be available in my Etsy shop as well as on Ravelry.As a bit of a tease, here

Yeah, okay, not really. But I have managed to accomplish a few things recently. After a bit of a learning curve, I managed to post my first few lots of stitch markers on Etsy. This is essentially the biggest leap ahead I've taken in months, so it truly is something I'm proud of, and would love some feedback.My shop is here, so go ahead and take a peek and tell me what you think! I've only got a

So I'm still on this whole 'actually getting things done' streak. (gasp! shock!) As you can tell, I finally got around to figuring out how to make the blog more how I wanted it and less pepto bismol. Hopefully you all like the new look! I may still tinker with a few things here and there, and I'm open for constructive criticism and suggestions.On the pattern front, I'm thrilled that so many

Welcome to day two of what appears to be an actual productivity streak. (gasp!)Today the weather is so nice that I can't justify sitting here at the desk for too long, but I was just too excited to get my very first pattern up on the blog. So for those in the U.S., I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day, and for everyone, enjoy the free pattern! I hope you love it as much as I do, and of

Time simply keeps flying past at a rate I can't seem to keep up with. The Christmas decor is barely put away, and yet it's already time to start dragging the kiddie pool out. I have been slacking in more departments than just updating the blog, and hopefully the warmer weather will propel me into this 'productivity' thing I hear so much about.In the coming days I'll have the first of hopefully

As you saw in my last post, I have been loving the contests lately! Well here's one that I've entered a couple times, and I'm in the finals for! If you go to the Chocolista's website (two girls, blogging about chocolate- how freakin' cool is that?) you'll find their recurring name-that-dessert contest. This time, my name suggestion (Raspberry Respite!) made it to the top ten and now it's time to

Well, I'm still tinkering, as you can tell by the still-pepto blog, but I've learned quite a bit so far about this whole blogging thing, so maybe I'll have it done by this weekend (fingers crossed!) So I decided to take a break from how this thing looks and focus a little more on updates, at least for today.I have had one of those surreal type months so far, and it's only the second! I put off a

As much as I want to jump in to posting a bunch of really relevant and interesting information and witty remarks, the whole layout and design of the blog is driving me a bit nutty, so I'll be tinkering with that for a bit until I get it right-ish.I just created a new banner blog title thingy (see? up there? thoughts on it? anyone?) and I'm hoping to base the color and design on that. So I'll be

I've gotten a good chunk done of what I had hoped to accomplish over the next couple days. Of course, every thing I checked off my little list added two more things that I hadn't thought about, but once I got on a roll it wasn't too painful.So now, here I sit with my new pattern, all done up in a pretty PDF format, complete with a couple good pictures of the finished object. But now I'm starting

You know that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you aren't sure if something will be either a huge disaster or the best decision you've ever made? Yeah, I'm there. You're probably there too, if you're now reading what I should have named "Not Another Knitting Blog", but I'm sure that's already taken. So if you're wondering, yes, this is sort of another knitting blog. And sort of
