What's GGmaking now?

I saw this infinity cowl on Ravelry that seemed simple enough, so I casted on. The pattern is called Snowdrift Infinity Cowl by Kalurah and it’s free. I had this YUMMY yarn I purchased from Chelseayarns during the NJ Wool walk and I was itching to use it. The yarn is Manos Del Uruguay Maxima, […]

Got Yarn? YES I DO!!!

Yarn Woo Hoo from Gaye Glasspie on Vimeo. So FINALLY, I have yarn. I was at the point of desperation. I mean I really was starting to itch..it was too much, too long without the pleasure of creating. I went back to the original store and dug around until I found something I wanted. I

I can't knit so I think….

About knitting…. Hello fiber family 🙂 I am still in the Philippines and totally shocked at the lack of yarn. Yes I found the one place (and I am going to run there as soon as I can) but when I tell you the malls here are TREMENDOUS but no yarn. To coin a phrase
