I used to participate in the Iron Craft Challenge over at Just Crafty Enough all the time, but then I got busy with the book and had no time for extra crafting, and then the book was done but I didn’t feel like making anything or wasn’t sure what to make. But this week it […]
In Which I Pretend to Know How to Crochet {Iron Craft}
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make something with string. Since knitting is my job, I usually try not to knit for these challenges, because I want them to be fun and to be something different from what I usually craft. I’d been reading the super fun book Arne & Carlos Knit-and-Crochet Garden and […]
Add A Letter to a Dollar Store Bag {Iron Craft Challenge}
Last time I completely flaked out on Iron Craft, but I’m back this week with a challenge all about the letter A. The idea was to do something with a letter a, or a craft that started with a, or something like that. Well, the girl’s name happens to start with a, so I knew […]

Last-Minute Knit Tree Ornament {Iron Craft Challenge}
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was an opportunity to redo a past challenge if we’d missed one or just wanted to try one again.

Craft Stick Snowflake Craft {Iron Craft Challenge}
The Iron Craft challenge for this week was white, and I’m not really ready to contemplate snow, but I did have a lot of craft sticks lying around the house so I thought why not make some classic craft stick snowflakes? We actually made several of these — the girl helped — but this is […]
