A misunderstanding

Posted on March 31, 2015 by wonkydonkey

Posted on March 28, 2015 by wonkydonkey

I’ve been putting it off, but today I started the daunting task of organizing my sewing patterns. After moving the stuff into the house a couple years ago, I just stacked them all up in a corner because I was … Continue reading →

Getting dirty

Posted on March 27, 2015 by wonkydonkey

It is such a beautiful spring morning that I had to go dig in the garden just a little, before heading to work. The crows and squirrels ate my first batch of snap peas that I planted last month, so … Continue reading →

In which I win

WIP Wednesday

Posted on March 18, 2015 by wonkydonkey

This week I’m going to show a new project that I just cast on. It’s a blanket, using four partial balls of soft, terry-like yarns in spring colors. I weighed the balls and arranged the colors so that I’ll use … Continue reading →

There’s a rainbow on my head

Posted on March 17, 2015 by wonkydonkey

I spun this up ages ago. A couple years, probably, though I can’t find it in my Flickr account to verify. It’s Dicentra Designs and I just could not walk away from the rainbow cheerfulness. It’s been my eye-candy on … Continue reading →

I told you so

Posted on March 16, 2015 by wonkydonkey

Matchmaker

Posted on March 15, 2015 by wonkydonkey
