Yarn Advent Calendar Round-up

While I’m sitting here not working on Christmas presents, I’m instead looking at all the really cool yarn advent calendars they’re putting out this year. As if I have an abundance of time to work on additional projects around the holidays. I can’t stop looking, though, the idea is just so appealing to me. I […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 6th Weekend

The end of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival is nigh, and traditionally the last couple of weekends are really good at Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s Clothing. It’s chillier, people forget warm things, and we get to bust out our own hand-knits. It was a little harder this weekend with all the rain, but I managed: And […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 4th Weekend

It was all-around perfect, but the festivities didn’t leave me any time for my usual LYS explorations, so Mom […]

Another Way to Put Off Housework

My LYS The Studio Knitting and Needlepoint is doing something really fun this summer: free one hour demos of different yarn techniques and, if you like them, projects to master them. This past Saturday was one of my turns to demonstrate, and I showed passersby how to make a broomstick lace headband: Isn’t it pretty? […]
