  • My Knitting has gone to the Dogs!

    My knitting has gone to the dogs, Mocha in this case.  This is our family dog Mocha who is an amazing dog for sure. The only thing negative about her is she would probably lick you to death. 🙂  The other day she was bugging me to play with her so I grabbed my daughters…

  • Fingerless Gloves, “Take 1”

    One of my favourite items to design are Fingerless Gloves.  They are so practical where I live.  Having something to warm your hands in this techno savvy world yet keeping your fingers free to use is a perfect addition to your wardrobe in the cooler seasons.  The Rach X-Long Fingerless Gloves are my elbow length…

  • Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

    Originally posted on CONFESSIONS OF A YARN-A-HOLIC: What a beautiful day in the neighborhood… The latest victim of a yarn bombing is this Mr Rogers statue in Pittsburgh.  Anyone who grew up watching this children’s television icon knows that each afternoon he came in the door and swapped his suit jacket for a lovely cardigan,…
