Holiday Gift Round-Up, Part 2

Happy New Year! I can't believe it's 2014. The holiday season whizzed by and I am not sure I'm ready to embark on a new year just yet - but it's here whether I like it or not!

In fact, I am still processing the holidays: I felt more than a little spoiled by my friends and family. As I get older, I can honestly say that my focus on the holidays isn't on what gifts I'll be getting, but rather, giving gifts and spending time with family (and friends!). That's not to say I don't enjoy receiving gifts, of course - who doesn't?! In fact, I received many thoughtful, useful, and all-around awesome gifts this year, and I thought I'd share some of the fiber-related ones on today's post:

Mollie Makes Crochet: Tons of great projects to make for the home!

50 Yards of Fun by Rebecca Danger - all the better to continue the theme for 2014!

Scarf Organizer: I've been trying to find a good way to store all of my scarves and shawls so that A. I have easy access and B. they don't become cat beds. I was excited to get this handy little doodad to try out!

Hot water bottle & cozy by my knitting pal Lauren!

Tyler gave me a WEBS gift card (I'll be sharing my purchases when they arrive, of course!) and Lauren also knitted me a Christmas Tree ornament - check out the real wood tree trunk!

Hadaki Millipede Tote - I've coveted this particular bag at just about every TNNA trade show I've attended. While I love my Namaste messenger bag, I really need to have a lighter everyday bag. This bag has lots of zippy compartments and, despite its smaller size, it still fits all my essentials along with a small project for on-the-go knitting!

Meanwhile, no trip to Kansas City would be complete without a trip to The Studio. I happened to have a gift card, so I came home with some lovely skeins of yarn for future toy-making endeavors. I also bought a tape measure since a few of mine have disappeared recently.

All in all, 2013 ended on quite the high note and I am looking forward to a fibery and craft-filled 2014. TI will be returning to my regular blogging schedule this Friday, so I hope to see you back here. Wishing you a very happy and healthy new year. Thanks for joining me!

Overdyeing A Finished Knit

Even after just a few years of knitting or crocheting, you're bound to have some finished projects lying around that never get worn or used. After 10+ years of crafting, I have more than just "some" or "a few"....and with my ongoing quest to declutter my house this year, I've become obsessed with going through these forlorn projects and making some Big Decisions. Sometimes, they are perfectly fine and just need a new and loving home. Other projects may have not turned out quite right: there might have been some mistakes in the knitting that I thought I could live with, or the yarn was gorgeous but not well-matched to the pattern, or my taste has drastically changed since I finished making the project...in any case, why on earth did I keep knitting?! Who knows, but I don't feel good about gifting anything that falls into this category to someone else. These projects have been relegated to the "frog pile" (or should I say, frog pond?), to b

Easy DIY: Beaded Vintage Snowflake Ornament Kits from Solid Oak Inc.

I was really excited to step outside of my comfort zone and try something new as part of my "Christmas in July" theme this month. The kind folks at Solid Oak Inc offered me a chance to review one of their Nostalgic Christmas beaded crystal ornament kits I couldn't resist. My tree is already full of ornaments I've inherited or been gifted from other family members and friends, so these pretty crystal beaded ornaments will fit right in I think! I was super impressed with this compact little kit , which includes everything needed to create three gorgeous vintage-style ornaments - just add a pair of round nose pliers (I found mine on Amazon for less than ten bucks). The instructions had some fabulous tips for newbies like me; for example, it recommended sorting the beads and laying them out in order on a towel or beading mat to prevent them from rolling away. That may seem obvious, but I was totally ready to start beading on my kitchen table without a

What If I Didn't Add Heels?

Last weekend, I finished the first sock with my Waterlilies yarn , and just for yuks, I tried it on even though it was basically just a tube sock. Much to my surprise, it fit really well, even without a heel. Who knew? So, that got me thinking: what if I just didn't add the heels? I never thought a tube sock would actually fit nicely, but I genuinely like the fit, so...why spend time to add the heels? As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.... Let's say I decide not to add heels once the second sock is done - there will still be placeholder yarn for the afterthought heels, as you can see above, so should I leave it in and just weave in the ends? Or should I remove it, put the live stitches back on needles and at least graft them together using more of the Waterlilies yarn? I plan on mulling all of this over as I knit the second sock, and I'd love to hear your opinions of what you think would look best (or if you think this whole "n
