My Scrunchie Recipe

Round 3: 2hdc into every sc from the previous round (you will now have double your st count from Round 2), sl st into the first hdc from this round and ch3 (this will count as 1 of your dc for the next round. Round 4: 3dc into every hdc from the previous round (you will now have triple the st count from Roun

Uplifting Words

Our newest Private Label yarn arrived during the Fall Yarn Crawl. The colorway names are one word each and they were taken from quotes I found inspiring and uplifting. Here are the colorways and their names... Accomplish You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.  - Abraham Lincoln Ambition Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose.  - Frank Tyger Believe Be brave to stand for what you believe in even if you stand alone.  -Roy T.

Knitting Mojo: Missing in Action

Have you misplaced your knitting mojo? I'm not sure where I left it...I was knitting at least 5 projects at once, dividing my time and not really getting anywhere on any of them...and I just lost my mojo. I'm positive it's at the bottom of a project bag, but I'm not really driven to discover which one. Could it be the bag that contains a crescent shawl that seemed like a good idea in my head?
