The original plan for this crocheted granny square throw was 5 squares wide by 7 tall. As of Tuesday night, I had 35 squares — 33 according to the chart I made, and 2 that I’d made previously. There’s my stack o’ squares! And there’s my final layout. I considered adding another column, but I… Continue reading 9.25: Sewing up| knitorious

Just before I went to Brazil 12+ years ago, I went shopping for a new wallet. I don’t remember what my old one was like, but I found a new one at TJMaxx that checked all my boxes: big, but not enormous; lots of options for various cards, stamps & labels, hair bands & bobby… Continue reading 9.9| knitorious

I had five days off and hardly took any photos! The days were packed with one thing or another, though — and mostly of my choosing. I spent a lot of time sewing. On Friday, I was able to tune in to The School of Making Club’s 100 Days of Sewing: Weekly Check-in on Zoom…… Continue reading 9.3: (Long) Weekending| knitorious
I do like a nice cozy rabbit hole… and I’ve fallen deeper into the Kaffe Fassett book hole. I have a few books of my own, some that were my sister Sharon’s (I don’t know if she ever knit a Fassett pattern), and I’ll always pick one up at a thrift store. Still, the man… Continue reading 8.28: Found| knitorious
