Country Gingham Tea Towel – Update

I’ve noticed an upsurge in people downloading the pattern for the towel.  First of all, thank you!  You are awesome.
Secondly, I wanted to let you know that an update in the pattern is brewing as we speak.  The update will include the fix for the mistake in the written instructions, expanded instructions for how exactly [...]

Making things and writing them down are not the same thing

That seems like such an obvious statement, doesn’t it? I certainly wouldn’t have expected to devote so much thought to the issue. I’ve mentioned before that I actually do write down how I make certain projects. I’m even in the habit of making new versions, so I can clarify the instructions in my [...]

Gingham and Daisy thoughts, Errata

I have news for two of my projects, the Daisy Wheel Bag and the Country Gingham Hanging Tea Towel (CGHTT). First the Daisy.
You guys are terrific, and I really appreciate and am heartened by your comments and input on the Daisy Wheel bag. (By the way I’m not committed to that name and [...]

Long time, Daisy

So, it’s been a while. The house is clean, the kitchen’s redone and my guests are temporarily elsewhere. I thought I’d celebrate my chance to blog with a FO.

Once I actually had the idea in place (and of course enough yarn) I have to say this was a really quick knit over all. In [...]

The Daisy Wheel is almost done – I’m working on the lining now, and I even have pictures, plus there are a few of you I’d like to get back to, but…

Coming together

The Daisy Wheel and I are friends once more and things are coming along pretty well.

I’m still working on the details and embellishments, but the basic construction is finally together. The yarn limitations have been a challenge; especially since I started in garter stitch which is notoriously hoggish, but I think I found some [...]

Okay, Not so much with the Mixing it up

On further reflection the new theme wasn’t working at all. I tested it out before I changed over, but I didn’t take into account the shear volume of stuff I’ve got on here. It’s a bit screamy in B&W. Plus, not all of the wordpress features I’m using in this template work [...]

Mixing it up

A new theme!
It’s a little late for my birthday, but as they say, better late than never. I’ve been itching for a site overhaul for, well actually since I started blogging on wordpress. Photoblogging just isn’t the focus here. I can live with that but it has changed my blogging style a bit. [...]

The trouble with garter stitch

If you read this blog regularly, you may be experiencing a bit of deja-vu just about now. As in “Um phoenix? Haven’t you posted that picture before?” No need to adjust your screen. The answer is yes. Yes, I have.
I’m back to working on the Daisy bag, and let’s just say, that [...]

ReCycle Pattern Update

I revised the Recycle Pattern so that both the pattern and chart are included in one file instead of two.  The change is reflected in both the pattern page and the box widget. This should make it more convenient to download.
