Sometimes I know exactly what I want to do when an Iron Craft challenge is announced, and sometimes it takes me almost to the last minute to figure out what I want to do. This week’s theme was green, of course, and I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do. Knit something green? I’ve already […]
Knit Egg Cozy, or a Hat for a Plastic Easter Egg {Iron Craft}
Earlier this week I shared a post on Craft Gossip about a sweet little free knitting pattern for egg cozies that have bunny ears. Adorable, right? Someone on Facebook had the gall to comment “Cute.

Felt Envelope Filled with Love {Iron Craft Challenge}

And I wanted to make […]
Garter Stitch Bow Cowl

This is a super easy knit even if you’re completely new to knitting because it’s all Garter Stitch. […]
