How to make a center pull ball by hand

Good tutorial showing how to make a center pull ball by hand.  I also like that it uses the ball band for the beginning.  That way you still have your information on the yarn.

Baby's first sled ride

Time for a "Isn't he cute?" picture of my grandson, Desmond.




His mom said he enjoyed his first sled ride.

New Website

Many years ago, well, about five years ago, I put up a website for the shoppe.  It was great and I liked it.  But as time went on, I wanted one that I could have input in, make the changes myself. And as luck would have it, my cousin, Lisa, went into the website business.  We worked together and today we are publishing the new site.


What do you think?

Warm cap for the winter

Cold weather means knitting a hat for the new grandchild.

 
 Using Tonic, I knitted the Norski Cap by Cottage Creations.



This is a size one cap on a baby that is 6 months old.


Desmond should get a lot of wear out this cap.
