Ninja Beanie and Cowl

Posted on January 6, 2021January 1, 2021by Eliza

Welcome to 2021! It feels like it’s been a loooong time coming. I know the difficulties of 2020 aren’t totally behind us yet, but I’m hopeful that we can make this a positive year. For my first post of the new year, I’m sharing the Christmas hats that I made for the boys this year. […]

Yoda Hamster

Posted on November 11, 2020October 30, 2020by Eliza

Munchkin loves hamsters. I’m not sure why. He loves all animals. When he was a toddler we used to stop at PetSmart when we were out running errands, just to look at all the animals. Then out of the blue, a few weeks ago, he adopted a hamster magnet as his new favorite toy. But, […]

Sideways Pinstripe Hat

Posted on October 28, 2020October 23, 2020by Eliza

I love hats. Some people keep socks on their needles as a quick-win, carry-around-with-them-everywhere project, but I prefer hats. They’re quick and easy, and around here, everyone needs them. I like lightweight hats for spring and fall, heavier hats for the dead of winter, even headbands for when my hair is up. My nephew’s birthday […]

WIP Wednesday (Summer 2020 Edition)

Posted on August 5, 2020July 20, 2020by Eliza

Time to try another WIP Wednesday post. I’ll start with some finished projects that I haven’t shared yet. I finally finished and sent this Settlers of Catan baby blanket to our game-loving friends. (You can see it in-progress in the last WIP post.) Their daughter is 7 months old now. (I got it there within […]

Crochet T-Shirt Rug

Posted on July 22, 2020July 7, 2020by Eliza

The inspiration for this rug goes way back, pre-kids, pre-blog. Every so often I go through a purging phase, where I trash or donate everything that has accumulated that we don’t want or need anymore. I was in one of those phases, sorting through our dressers in our old apartment, and I came across a […]

T. Rex Hat

Posted on July 8, 2020June 16, 2020by Eliza

I’m finally getting around to posting the second of my boys’ Christmas hats. (If you missed Little Bear’s Stormtrooper Hat, check it out!) Munchkin loves dinosaurs, and when I asked what kind of hat he’d like, he very quickly voted for a T. Rex. There are two ways to knit this hat—you can knit it […]

Zig Zag Rib Charity Block (#14)

Posted on June 10, 2020May 9, 2020by Eliza

Time for another charity block! I had no trouble choosing to try this zig zag rib–it looks so cool! But I expected it to be complicated or at least a little annoying. (I don’t like complex detail work when I’m knitting–you won’t catch me knitting an Aran sweater anytime soon.) As it turns out, I […]

The Hat of Firsts

Posted on May 13, 2020May 4, 2020by Eliza

This is probably the most basic hat I’ve ever made. And that’s ok (basic isn’t bad)–the yarn is what’s important in this case. This yarn tells a story. Several stories, in fact. You see, I spun this yarn myself. I was interning at my local library during college when a local group put on a […]

Stormtrooper Hat

Posted on March 18, 2020March 14, 2020by Eliza

I’m finally getting around to sharing the hat that I knit for Little Bear this past Christmas. He looooves Star Wars, so I knew he’d love a stormtrooper hat. I liked Sheila Stromberg’s Star Wars hat pattern, but I didn’t want stormtrooper helmets all the way around, so I just followed the stormtrooper section of […]

Jewel Stripes Hat

Posted on March 4, 2020March 4, 2020by Eliza

I try not to buy yarn unless I have a project in mind for it. If I buy it because I love it, there’s a good chance it’ll sit in my stash for years and may never get used. That’s not fair to the yarn OR my budget. But sometimes… I found this Caron x […]
