As knitters and crocheters, we are blessed with talents that allow us to give the gift of handmade items. Look at our calendar to see ways you can make a difference.

Join us for Knit Along Wednesday! We are working on the Simple Spring Swing Cardigan. There is still time to join us … this sweater is great for summer also. We haven’t set a deadline on completing the sweater, so just pick up your needles, grab the yarn and get started on your cardigan. Work at your own pace. I’ve completed the one I was working on, but this is such a simple and practical cardigan … I’m making another. This time I’m going to change it up a little by using a couple different colors. I’ll show you pics as it develops. Continue reading “Knit Along Spring Swing Cardigan Week 4”

I always love the 4th of July. It means parades, picnics and lots of fun. It’s the perfect holiday to spend outdoors with family and friends, plus so much of what we believe in as a country is exemplified on this holiday. Oh, and I almost forgot the best part of the 4th… the fireworks! It always gives me such an amazing feeling when I see fireworks. I have that same kind of feeling when our talented crochet designers create wonderful designs that reflect their love of country. So I thought this week would be the perfect time to show you a few of them. Continue reading “Celebrate America with Crochet”

It’s Knit Along Wednesday! How is everyone doing on their Simple Spring Swing Cardigan? Some of you might have the three main pieces completed. If you do, you’ll be ready to sew the pieces together, add the sleeves and front bands. I had to put mine aside for a few days, so I’m working on the right front today. Just keep working at your own pace. It’s going to be another week before I can get mine finished. Continue reading “Knit Along Spring Swing Cardigan Week 3”
We love our Red Heart gnome, Gnorbert. It’s been fun to take him places and spread our Red Heart love with others. Like all of us, we need a vacation periodically to recharge and so does Gnorbert. He’s been so busy on his adventures with the Red Heart family over the past few months; he’s taking a short vacation at my house, re-energizing and relaxing in my garden. Continue reading “The Adventures of Gnorbert the Gnome with the Red Heart Family”
