Episode 106: Totally Addicted to Sims 3




Saturday, May 18, 2013
This week I share my progress on both Coraline and Vanadium, but based on the title you might guess there isn't much progress. I also share my finished Wool Gatherings BFL that was recently navajo plied. There are also prizes and a tutorial on knitted on i-cord border. Enjoy!

Episode 83: Gamecentric








Saturday, December 1, 2012
There wasn't much knitting or spinning this week because I spent most of my week playing either Sims 3 or Don't Starve. I hope you enjoy my take on the Don't Starve game. Hopefully there will be more knitting next week. I did get some progress on my Knit Swirl, as well as Autumn Turning and Halyard.
