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 […]
Red, White and Blue Crocheted Scarf {Iron Craft Challenge}
The Iron Craft challenge for this week was making something inspired by the Olympics. I’d already done a knit hat earlier in the season and wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do until I thought about all the red, white and blue yarn I had lying around. (I had extra red from the Christmas […]

Artist Trading Card for Your Little Word {Iron Craft Challenge}
The last challenge of 2013 for Iron Craft was to make something for yourself that takes less than an hour. Since the Bit is home from school quick crafting is all I have time for, and since I’ve been thinking about doing One Little Word again, I thought I would use that as my inspiration. […]
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. The only one I know for sure that I’ve skipped is that most recent one, which was about making something for the holidays. I guess I just didn’t have anything finished […]
