I am mesmerized by the bobbin animation! Oh, how I love Craft. Do you know of any good newstands around here that sell the magazine? My boyfriend brought me a copy of the first issue from Seattle Ignite, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere since.

Love the bobbin! I was always curious how those worked.
Noticed that Bride & Prejudice is in your current “watching” list…great film!

That IPA looks tasty, but then I think almost all IPAs look tasty. I wish we could get Pyramid more easily here in Iowa, but I can only find the Apricot Hefeweizen if I am lucky.

That knitting basket is too excellent. I have been looking for something. I must learn how to sew. Of course making a knitting basket would severely cut into my baking,knitting and crocheting time.

The bobbin is like self hypnosis.
I love the knitting basket and the little pockets.

Hi, I'm Megan. I live in Seattle with Scott. I make stuff and give you tutorials on how to make it too. I also keep a blog of what I'm up to and links to good stuff from all over.

Lately I've been learning to shoot a bow and arrow throwing a bonfire party in the middle of a corn maze and eating liege waffles in Belgium. You can also find me at Twitter, Flickr, Ravelry, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. More about me and all this.
