Hello 2024

This wild weather has me all out of whack… but I do have some goals I’d love to accomplish in 2024! #MakeNine2024 This year, I built my grid out of WIPs (and some of them may be familiar!). Hoping I’ll have a complete grid to show off by then end of the year! Expand on […]

Kylemore Abbey

This was a stop a ways out of Galway, but one of my favorite stops on the whole tour! It’s a beautiful castle (and walled Victorian gardens that still make produce they use in the restaurant on site) nestled in a mountain on a lake in the Connemara region of Ireland, famous for it’s stunning […]

Handmade Halloween 2023

I’m Ken’s buddy. All his clothes fit me. I was immediately struck by Allan in the summer phenomenon that was Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.” I know Michael Cera’s performance and the fun awkwardness of the character played a part. I also acknowledge that Allan’s iconic shirt reminded me of a granny stitch, and that’s probably the […]

Dublin, Ireland

We started our adventure in Ireland’s capital city! We actually added an extra day on to our tour, just in case of travel issues and to have some free time in Dublin, if not. No travel issues, thankfully! Included in our tour was a visit to the National Museum of Decorative Arts (which had a […]

Beverage Goblin Coasters

One to hydrate, one to energize, and one just for fun. The Beverage Goblin needs three drinks to make her brain run! I never really considered myself a beverage goblin, but your girl definitely works on more than one beverage at a time. If I’m full beverage-goblining, I have my water, tea, and something from […]

Woobles Review

I work in social media marketing, so when I see ads on Facebook or Instagram, I tend not to get sucked in. If anything, seeing them helps me do my job. I am constantly looking at them from a strategic standpoint, so it takes a lot to get me to buy whatever the ad is […]

Patterns for Mini Skeins

This will not come as a surprise to anyone who knows me even a little bit, but when Sewrella Yarn came out with a line inspired by the Disney Parks, I about lost my mind. I’m actually pretty proud I didn’t buy the whole shop. I made some concerted choices with specific patterns in mind, […]

Sunny Daze Crossbody Bags

My friends Liz and Lauren got married last weekend! And about a month ago, one of our friends shared this super fun crossbody bag in our group chat. Since we met at KU, a lot of the group has had a sunflower element in their own weddings. Since the wedding took place in the Walt […]

Recycled Stitch Markers

In many of my travels, I have had a dream. Most hotels have RFID card keys these days, and many of these key cards look so fancy. They could just be plain white cards, but most of them have fun or sophisticated prints on them. What cool stitch markers they’d make, I usually say. I […]

AI Crochet

Like a lot of millennials, I think technology can be so cool. That’s not to say it can’t be problematic, and I definitely thank my smart speaker in case of a robot uprising. Seeing how far it’s come in the years I have been alive is still so impressive. The latest uproar I’ve seen is […]
