New Hat Knitting Pattern

December 2, 2019December 2, 2019 DebbieLeave a comment

My hat knitting started last Summer as a de-stash project for the many skeins of yarn that I’ve accumulated and has evolved into designing hat patterns of my own.

In September I visited the NJ Sheep and Wool Festival once again. This is my local show, less than an hour away so I went both days. Day one was about walking around and checking out the sheep and all the vendors. I’ve fallen in love with these Babydoll Sheep. They are a little smaller… Continue reading 2019 NJ Sheep and Wool Festival

Summer De-Stash

August 3, 2019August 2, 2019 Debbie1 Comment

At the beginning of June, I decided that it was time to reduce my stash of both fabric and yarn. I have a huge amount of fabric waiting to be turned into project bags and shopping bags. I began by re-organizing all my fabric. I was amazed at how much I’ve accumulated. All those years… Continue reading Summer De-Stash

The crescent shape is now my new favorite shape for shawls and scarves. I had one 260 yard skein of Feederbrook Farm Entropy DK that I purchased at the NJ Sheep and Wool Festival.
