I have always wanted to do a temperature blanket, but know I don't have the staying power to crochet or knit everyday. Then I saw Fiber Flux post a Temperature Shawl CAL. Each week you will crochet the average temperature for the week. After 52 weeks, you have a sweet shawl! That is do-able! I … Continue reading Temperature Shawl CAL

Malia CAL
Continuing along with Little Monkeys Crochet Malia CAL, I have started a Malia Ear warmer. Now, due to my not paying attention (at all), I started making the pattern and realized I hadn't even made it to the pattern yet. What the heck do I mean? I mean I made the gauge swatch thinking that … Continue reading Malia CAL
Malia CAL
I have long admired Rebecca Langford's (aka Little Monkeys Crochet) crochet designs. Two of my favorite baby blanket patterns are hers: Call The Midwife Comfy Squares I made both for my cousin's son and my finished projects can be found here. Across my FB feed came Little Monkeys Crochet's new CAL, the Malia CAL. There … Continue reading Malia CAL
Yarn Along
Last week I posted that I was starting The Good House. Well, I barely made a dent in it. So,once again that is my pick! However, last week I picked up A Year By The Sea by Joan Anderson and I couldn't put it down. A lovely, quick read. I highly recommend it! Curling up … Continue reading Yarn Along

Two weeks ago I posted that I was reading The Nest (currently on the NY Times Best Seller list). Well, I'm not sure why it is on that list. I found it utterly forgettable. Not bad, not good either. Oh well, you never lose when you borrow books from the library! This week choice … Continue reading Yarn Along

For this project (which called … Continue reading Create-A-Long
January KAL
I am a member of Ravelry's Red Heart Lovers Group and January's KAL/CAL was to make any cowl you wanted. I love these monthly KAL/CALs as they are usually small, quick projects that allow you to learn a new stitch or make something out of your comfort zone. I have been staring at Tin Can … Continue reading January KAL

Yarn Along
Well, I made no progress on last weeks selection, Our Souls at Night. I had great intentions, but the holiday and receiving a much wanted book as a gift sent Our Souls at Night into the "to read" pile. This week I am reading In the Unlikely Event by the wonderful Judy Blume. I love … Continue reading Yarn Along
End of a CAL
I have officially ended my Around the Bases CAL. I have woven in the ends and now it covers my soon to be 2 year old daughter each night. I LOVE it! I really loved seeing everyone's finished projects and color choices. I was quite surprised at how amazing it looks when done in all … Continue reading End of a CAL
