I always love it when someone shines a nice light on crochet. And Natalie over at Black Book isn’t letting me down with her brief article regarding sexy crochet. Would I wear it? No. I’m a hairy forty-year-old man. I would have to wax first. But a certain sister-in-law could pull it off flawlessly. Favorite …

As you know, my slick iPhone made contact with my slick granite bathroom counter and did a luge jump into the toilet. I’ve made peace with that. What I’m having a harder time making peace with is Ma Bell (that’s what us older folks use to call AT&T) and Apple. To replace my original $500 …

Some weeks are better than others. Then there are weeks that didn’t get the hint that they have over extended their stay and should have pack up their things long ago and moved out quietly in the middle of the night…without leaving a note.

I promise that this blog will not turn into a brag-book about the new kitty Smalls. I guess I’m going through New Daddy Syndrome. The last thing I would want to hear is, “If this turns into cat blog I’m out of here” (five points if you get the reference). With that said, since the day …

The last two weeks have been crazy between introducing a new kitten to the house, my getting sick, the kitty getting sick, finishing a new pattern, starting two more projects, weeeeee. But I know you are mostly interested about the kitten. Her official name…drum roll…extended drum roll…wait for it…Smalls. A very good friend suggested this …

Sometimes I swear I craft just to have a believable excuse to buy cool things. First you buy the practical tools that you absolutely need to make something (e.g. Boye aluminum crochet hook set), then as time goes on, you find the awesome tools that actually give you a heightened sense of joy while you …

As I was doing some research using old pattern books for an upcoming project, I came across this pattern for a crochet watch fob1 that, to my surprise, had a swastika dangling from it. The first thought that zapped through my brain was, “Great. It isn’t bad enough that crochet gets such a bad rap, …
