Don’t try to kid me. If you sew, do any kind of needlework or crafts, you have a stash. Some how, it always happens. We don’t start out intentionally building that stash. It just happens. You start with a little left over yarn, fabric or craft supplies. Gee, it’s a crime to just toss […]
It’s mittnz time again for the knitters and crocheters who help keep all the hands (as well as heads, necks and feet) warm at the Cheyenne River Reservation. We will be blitzing the rez with mittens, gloves and wristers the first week in October. You can go to Sheep Shots and read Ann’s April 12th […]

I won’t be making any seams today. I’ll be spending the day at the farm, but I do have a knitting question for you. It seems that no matter how many years I work at it, I hate to sew up the seams when I knit or crochet. It just doesn’t get easier or better. […]
Yes. Mittens during the hottest part of the year. And in April, May and September, too. That’s when mittens are being created by members and friends of the Native American Support group, of which I am a member. This is a great group of people who support the Native Americans on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota. […]
