Oh how I adore funky chunky art yarns. I've been spinning art yarn for a few years and have been wanting to find ways to showcase them as art instead of knitting them into a functional piece. So you can imagine my elation at receiving a gorgeous knitters loom at Christmas. I've been eyeing this thin ...

The book starts with a basic overview of sewing – ostensibly, if you’d never sewn anything in your life, you could start here. I like the inclusion of photographs of sewing spaces created by average people who love to sew – of course, the photographs show much more orderly sewing rooms than I’ve got ...

Why aren’t there any good patterns for making lingerie? I know kwik sew has the most extensive offerings with regards to one’s underthings, but my heart is unmoved.

I’m still watching Project Runway, but trying to think of something useful to say just seems like so much work. The little Ohio boy with the faux British accent is gone, and I can’t complain about that. There was something not-quite-endearing at how flustered he was by real people… His real person w ...

I’m learning needlepoint with a little kit I got, the design is printed onto the cloth. I want to eventually use counted patterns (available online), but I noticed that they’re called "counted cross-stitch" patterns. Are needlepoint and cross stitch just interchangeable?

I stayed home from school yesterday. My head was full of snot and it seemed like my coworkers might appreciate me keeping the worst of my germs to myself. Don’t worry, I did real work for 8 hours. Then I decided to soothe my soul with some fabric. One of my most recent discoveries is that you need t ...

So I have a list of the new McCalls patterns I want. I went to Jo Ann’s on Sunday hoping to find them on sale and was sorely disappointed. I contemplated purchasing two of them anyway and then realized that I can’t afford to buy patterns at their standard price. With all the patterns I have, I’d be ...
