Many of us have inherited stash and half-done projects that we’d like to finish to honour our loved ones who passed it on to us.

Or perhaps a favourite garment or blanket has been so loved and used that it is time for a new one to be made but we can’t find the original pattern.

In my Ravelry groups, the most common question people seem to ask is “what pattern is this?” and then they share a picture in desperate hopes someone can identify it or point them in the right direction.

Blog Roadmap: A New Direction

Hello! You may have noticed that the blog has been on pause for a little bit while I determined the direction I wanted it to go. Originally I had the blog here but not enough original content to post, so I shared items that I found on the internet. This was great, for a while. Then I decided to merge my mommy blog with my business blog and so I sent my readers over there. That worked too but I really missed writing about my mom adventures. After a lot of consideration and planning, I have prepared a great content
