APPLIE’S PLACE

I wanted to make something special for a friend. I had some Bernat Alpaca in my stash. It was enough to make a scarf from one of the Interweave Crochet magazines.  I started this scarf and realized I needed another skein to finish it. I only needed to make one more row. So, off to Michael’s [...]

Once upon a time there were six friends.  They wanted to get together and have some tea.  One friend said, “I’ll make us a place to sit and have tea.”  And she did.  It was a lovely place to sit and chat.

Every once in a while, I’ll ask Sir William to make something for me.  This time around I asked for a wooden platform with a stick in it, to hold my cone of yarn.  That’s all the instructions he needed.  LOL
Here is what he made to hold my Merino Tencel (Colrain Lace), to make the [...]
