The Perfect Project for One Skein of Chunky Yarn

I know, I know. It’s not winter weather yet. So a cowl probably isn’t high on your to-do list of things to knit right now. But stash busting is! If you’re like me, you’ve probably got a skein or two of a chunky weight yarn hiding in your stash. And… Read more…

Freeform Crocheting Zog the Dragon

No matter what your craft is. Be it knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, silversmithing, drawing, papercrafting. Anything.
