A fellow crafter, Liz from Playing Hooky Designs, tragically lost her 5 year old daughter. You can read more here.
Nicole from Boomers Beanies in Facebook is having an auction filled with TONS of amazing products that designers and crafters have donated to help raise money for Liz’s family.
Please please please head on over and bid on something. I donated a skein of yarn which you can already begin to bid on. Please show this family some love during this amazingly difficult time.
Also, please spread this post around. If the winner of the skein of yarn ends up being from my Tumblr or FB page, I will throw in a special surprise along with the skein of yarn: every pattern I’ve ever made AND every pattern I will ever make into the future. Just post in the comment section of the auction for the skein of yarn that you came from here.
Thank you and please pass the love around.

Two halloween’s ago my dear friend Helen asked me to make her a sandworm amigurumi to go along with her costume. The babies LOVED it and I swore I’d make it again. A little time has passed and now the babies are in need of scarves so I decided to change it up a little so that it’s more functional. The pattern is finished and is up here. My ode to Tim Burton. <3
What do you guys think?
I’ve spent the last three days glued to my laptop researching and submitting job applications. But I’ve just finished sending the most awesome application ever. Long story short, part of the application involved creating a haiku, playing with magnetic words, and doodling. And so ends today’s effort in finding a great company to spend my days with.
On a totally off subject though, I live in a super super SUPER hasidic jew neighborhood which is typically super calm and quiet…but there’s something going on tonight. Not sure if it’s a wedding, or a funeral, but there’s some intensely cool music coming from the streets. Who says nothing happens in this neighborhood?! Going to head out to explore whats going on, and then head to the city to walk around and get some air.
I miss the crafty world soooooooo much! How’s everyone’s week shaping up?
Question!
Have any of you used the acrylic yarn from Knit Picks? If so, what are your thoughts on it? How does it feel? Can you compare it to another brand of acrylic yarn?
I decided to join MeetUp.com and see if I could meet up with some fellow crafters here in NYC and try to make some friends. The first meet up is this Tuesday and I’m super excited and also terrified because I’m actually super shy…BUT new city means new friends. So time to get my big girl panties on, take a couple shots of tequila, and play with some yarn & strangers.
Has anyone else ever gone to a MeetUp? What was your experience?
A simple and quirky mom of two crazy twin toddlers who took up crocheting as a form of therapy and ended up in love. Recently decided to pack everything up and move to NYC in search of big and beautiful things.
Plans for the future: Work hard, love big, do good, kick ass, and leave the world a better place than I found it.
