Weaving the Ends #DogMomsWhoKnit #WordlessWednesday

Knitters, we've all had one of those days when you're thinking about finally wearing that certain handknit you actually made for yourself (for me, the Honey Cowl), only to remember you never wove in the ends. And then, you discover that pile...

I spent some time last Friday tackling part of my pile, much to the dismay of my girls who just wanted treats and cuddles.

What Happens When... #DogMomsWhoKnit #WordlessWednesday

my girls helped wind some yarn...

Learn How to Cable Left, Cable Right + #Giveaway + #FreePattern

Cables can take a handknit item from a little blah to ta-dah... yet when you get down to the knitty-gritty, they're still made up of just two kinds of stitches - knit and purl.

Sure, some of these three-dimensional twists and turns are more complicated than others, but with a little practice, they are all accomplishable. And now, thanks to Judith Durant's new book, Cable Left, Cable Right, it's even easier to learn how to get those zig-zagging stitches just right!

Get Your Knit On #DogMomsWhoKnit #WordlessWednesday

Happy Wednesday! It's been awhile since I've shared some knitting photos, huh? Although I haven't been doing as much as I'd like, I have been able to get some quality time in at the race track.

I actually finished something too... my Painted scarf!

Crochet One-Skein Wonders for Babies + GIVEAWAY #Crochet

Disclosure: Storey Publishing LLC sent a copy of Crochet One-Skein Wonders for Babies to Lapdog Creations in exchange for our honest review. I was not compensated for this review and all opinions expressed are my own. Storey Publishing LLC is responsible for the giveaway prize.

Judith Durant is back with an all new installment to her best-selling One-Skein Wonders series, and she brought crochet-maven Edie Eckman along for the ride once again.

You may recall the two teamed up for Crochet One-Skein Wonders three years ago.  This time they're giving us, Crochet One-Skein Wonders for Babies.

Yarn Scraps For The Birds - #DIY Bird Nesting Materials Holder

Spring has finally sprung in New England.  The birds are chirping away, and collecting debris to build their nests... so why not give them a hand?

No, they don't want our help in the actual building. However, they do appreciate some assistance in the supply department.

The Wine Trap Holds More Than Just Wine + COUPON

Disclosure: The Wine Trap sent a wine carrier to Lapdog Creations in exchange for our honest review. I was not compensated for this review and all opinions expressed are my own.

If you've been following us for a while, you may be aware that I was born and raised on "the other Cape" - Cape Ann, that is. 

Hailing from America's Oldest Seaport (Gloucester, Massachusetts), I've always been partial to the sea and fishing communities. And, with a love of all things handmade, I am always willing to help promote my fellow artisans.

So, as soon as I heard about The Wine Trap, I had to learn more.

Rain, Rain... Bring Back My Snow? #WordlessWednesday

The good news (for everyone except Penny - see last photo) is that we seem to be done with the spring snow.  The bad news, it's been raining for two days.
Let's get wordless...

Spring Snow is Tasty #WordlessWednesday #DogMomsWhoKnit

We think Mother Nature is drunk again... but Penny doesn't seem to mind and I'm finding myself getting in a little more knitting time.

Happy Wednesday.  We've been experiencing some issues with our internet provider (as I've read so has much of the country), so excuse the post interruptions. 

For now, let's get wordless....

Game Day Check List --- #DogMomsWhoKnit #BlackandWhiteSunday

Happy Super Bowl Sunday. Here's our check list for the day... 

We'll be watching the Super Bowl later today, but I admit it's not going to be as fun as usual.  My focus will be on the commercials (please let them be better than last year) and the best pregame show around, the Puppy Bowl!

How about you? Are you watching... perhaps while cuddled up with dogs, some knitting and maybe even an adult beverage?

Enjoy the game.  Here's to the Pats in 2017!
