Mollie Makes=Amy Makes

I am in love with this magazine.
Have you seen it!
oh, it is so full of inspiring artists and color and FUN!
This issue came with a little surprise giveaway for you to instantly make a craft.
How fun is that!
As I sat and browsed thru it last night, I got to excited to wake up today and knit.I have started on my kitties blankie and it is so much fun.
I learned how to knit 9 years ago...then I quickly learned that I liked crocheting better.
But I love the look of knit stitch better. It is so clean and straight lined.
So I have chosen to get out my needles once again to work with this beautiful yarn.
My hands and fingers are NOT thanking me. I know why I like crochet better, not only is it faster but it does not give me claw hands. LOL
Nothing like knitting to show how old I am getting.
But I will keep on keepin' on cause I love the look so far of this little blankie.
Have a great Saturday everyone, and go pick up a copy of Mollie Makes, you will fall in love.

Oh Martha...You Got ME!!

Well I couldn't resist...
Running into my local craft shop for fiberfill I passed the new Martha Stewart yarn endcap.
I fell in love with all of it.
The colors and styles are so beautiful.
Pricey, but beautiful.
Unfortunately most is made with wool so I had to pass on the novelty ones.
But the small balls of hemp, cotton blend were too cute to pass on.
I did opt for a blue and creamy white in another brand. 50 grams at $5 I wanted a bit more for my money.
I can't wait to sit and knit little blankies for the kitties this weekend with it all :)
The bright red and green is so vintage Christmas. Maybe I will have the blankies finished for the kitties to open on Christmas, lol
What are you up to this weekend. Reading a book, knitting project on the couch with a classic movie, or just hanging with family? Whatever it is, I hope you have a great weekend. :)
