Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Larksfoot Blanket, Day 1-2
Starting the second Koelewyn blanket. As much as I love these colors and the pattern when working on this blanket I just haven’t been able to get into a rhythm. I figure progress on this blanket will take a bit longer than the other ones, but soon enough this one will be completed too. more…
Blanket Projects – Lily May’s Blanket, Day 1-2
I often order more yarn than I need for each specific project. I have found that when picking colors for my pillows having several colors to test with fabric and with this recent spate of baby blankets I knew it was not going to waste. This one is going to the daughter of an […] more…
Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 8
Of all the things I’ve made lately, pillow and blankets alike, this one just makes me smile when I look at it. It is absurdly cheerful in coloration to the point where it makes my cheeks hurt. Now on to the companion blanket. more…
Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 7
Yeah we’re ending in the darker blue is the right call… now all I have to do is add a full color repeat. more…
Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 6
Green was okay, orange was not quite right… yellow is a bit bland…so I’m probably going to end on the darker blue. more…
Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 5
I ended on the orange again if only to reaffirm that I do not want to end the blanket in orange. more…
Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 4

Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 3
I’m making a deliberate choice to finish each day on a different color so I can see which color I want to end the blanket with. Right now I’m very undecided on what color to end with… so hopefully that helps in the decision making process. more…

Blanket Projects – Logan’s Cube Blanket, Day 16
This is one of those projects that I am very proud of completing. When I suggested the idea to Logan he seemed somewhat more enthusiastic than when he discusses most things, besides his guns and tea. The notion that men don’t like to design or to pick out things for their homes isn’t entirely […] more…
Eternal Loop Pattern Pillow
Given the decoration on the headboard of the bed it seemed appropriate to display the newly completed pillow there. While some of the design intention is lost when the square is actually draped over a pillow form i think I actually like it better this way. I would say I’m making a significant […] more…
Blanket Projects – Koelewyn Twins Granny Square Blanket, Day 2
So the color combination is REALLY growing on me. I’m using a slightly different joining technique for the color changes which I like, but am still getting used to. more…
