Last year I started a Make with Me series. The name is a bit of a misnomer, because so far I’ve always finished the thing before I even invite you to start making. Gotta stay ahead of the game.
I usually make up for not following the rules of a make-a-long by giving you the links to any patterns and/or helpful resources…. until today. Today I just give you pictures and a good “go get ’em” punch in the arm. But really, you should try to make this, it’s so cozy and and comes together with a few mostly-straight seams.

It’s been a while since we’ve done any sort of DIY craft post! We’re definitely making like crazy, so that’s no excuse. If anything, it means that we have a backlog of Make with Me posts to work on.
Well, the DIY drought ends today. I recently learned a great way to wind yarn around an object and tie it off without any tricky knots or loose ends. This is so simple, and for some of you, this may already be a tool in your DIY toolbox, but I’m hoping that there are a few of you that will appreciate this new trick as much as I do.

At the beginning of the year, I encouraged our readers to “make with me“. In that post I shared a few of the many benefits that you may get from picking up a hobby, and I gave you a few simple suggestions for how to turn your hobby into a regular habit (that’s good for you!).

The list above contains a nice mix of projects, relatively simple sweaters for both kids and adults. A scarf, which is a great project because getting the right fit doesn’t matter! The god’s eye provides a no-knitting yarn project. And there’s an adult hat. To round out the mix, today I want to share one of my most favorite hats to knit for babies and toddlers.
At the beginning of the year, I encouraged our readers to “make with me“. In the Make with Me series, I was sharing the projects that I was working on and/or finished in near-real time. That came to a sudden halt in March. Then, I started working on a few secret projects that really put a cramp in my ability to share. Today’s post is about one of those projects.
I’m excited to announce that I’ve finally put together a self-published knitting pattern!
