Episode 26 - Crafty People Are Super Nice

This guy has the best dance moves

Busy weekend filled with running errands, meeting up with friends, and attending a wedding! Kids had a blast on the dance floor - Emily so much she got a small blister on her foot.

This weeks episode we talk podcast news, knitting, sewing, spinning, stash (seriously - crafty people are super nice), and a short week in review.  Once again, crazy iphone recording system is pretty flawed, but thankfully with a little video editing, it's not all that bad.

Hope everyone has a great week! Come stop in our Ravelry group to chat, introduce yourself and join our giveaway.  Hope to see you there.

Episode 25 - These Guys are Scary



We survived our first week of school! It was an odd week, but finally dusted off the sewing machine! Also did a little knitting, a little spinning and a LOT of DIY!

Episode 24 - Happy Labor Day

Totally forgot to put this picture in the podcast!

Hey hey hey! It's back to school time and it's crazy busy for us.  A brand new schedule to follow and attempt to keep under control.  Emily had her orientation day today and me and hubby got to go with her to meet the teacher, see her class, fill out some forms, etc.  I then took Em out to lunch and off we went to pick up David.  She has her first day tomorrow getting on the bus and all.  Mommy tears will flow I'm sure.

Luckily I filmed last night so I was able to get it up and going overnight. Hope everyone enjoys the minor format changes I made.  Please continue to chime in with all your comments and be sure to enter the 100 member giveaway on our ravelry group! I took a few pics of the prizes, so those will be up soon as well!

Mini Episode 6 - Mitered Squares



Everyone and their neighbor is working on these crazy sock yarn blankets it seems, right? Wanna know why? They are so much fun and addicting! And I am ALL for instant gratification which is what you get when you finish each little square.

I was asked a question about how I join my squares and if I could do a quickie tutorial.  So here it is! It's more of a "demonstration" I would say, since I am by no means no expert and there are so many different ways to accomplish basically the same thing.  So here is MY way of doing the mitered squares blanket using the Generic Mitered Squares Pattern by Sue Ann (Suna) Kendall.

I'm recording with my camera propped up on a kids tool bench in the living room, so I apologize for the weird placement. However you can see the knitting which is all that really matters, right?
