I needed a few hours to recover. Just a few hours after finishing the Lenny K Blanket scarf – crochet version. Here it is and it is gorgeous. You can find the item itself or the pattern (which includes both knit and crochet version) in the designbcb shop. Last time I said I didn’t know …

Looking Back
I’ve been looking back at some old photos of things I made. Mostly I do it to free up some space. I eliminate them 100 at a time and it amazes me there are so many photos that I can get rid of them at such a rate. I ran across this hat today: These …
Didn’t See That Coming
January was a great month and I didn’t see that coming. I missed my revenue objective by $6 last year and it was a not great year though it was a great month. January hit and more than an order a day came with it! I am so thankful and grateful and it gave me …
As Promised
As promised, here is a pic of the Lenny scarf in progress. I will tell you, it’s way larger than when that photo was taken. I am just about ready to add the fringe. It is already 8 feet long. That’s 96 inches. Mr. Honey is 6 feet tall and when he draped it around …
Missing Things
I’ve been missing things. Some little things, like a good thunderstorm that doesn’t knock over trees and powerlines and leaves the air smelling freshly washed. Some more important things like a church gathering where you can greet each other close up. Civility and not so random kindness. And prayer shawls like this one. I haven’t …
2020 Be Like….
2020 be like, I ain’t leaving no one untouched. For me, I lost a friend in an officer involved shooting and we lost our nephew in a bad motorcycle accident. I’ve written about that nephew. He leaves behind four young children. There’s far too much to say and nothing to say about both those events. …
Since Last We Spoke
Since last we spoke, there have been some finishing around here. The shawls, infinity scarf and patterns are completed. And here they are in all their neutral glory.. All of them made with Caron One Pound bought from JoAnn. I love how they all came out and the person who bought them loved them, too. …
The Finish Line
I can see the finish line from here. The shawls are almost done. The pattern is done and up and running,too. If you read the previous post, you will note the yarns are acting differently in terms of length. Well, that drama continues. I made the taupe shawl and darned if that thing didn’t come …
Riddle Me This
Riddle me this, Batman. I am using Caron yarn to make all the pocket shawls. Caron Big Cakes were used for the pattern prototype. You can read about it here. For the ones that are in the order, I am using Caron One Pound. It was the one brand that had all the colors I …
Thinking About It
When I first started on Etsy, I would spend a lot time looking at these sweaters. I loved them. There was no chance of me making sweaters – I would have had to change the path of my shop. I could do it more easily now. But I was thinking about it. I settled on …
