Highly Displeased with Adobe, but glad to have the Mojo back.

“Hate is a strong word, but I really really REALLY don’t like you” –The Plain White T’s So I’ve been having a bit of drama with Adobe GoLive. On Friday I even had to go home early because I was so frustrated that I was about to throw my computer across the room, thereby breaking […]

Better-fitting* Toe-up Heel Flap Tutorial

I have a narrow heel and a relatively high instep. This means that a short row heel made with half the total stitches doesn’t fit me. It wobbles around and feels strange. Plus I don’t like the extra straining bits around the front of my ankle. I love the comfort and fit of the cute […]

So excited I'm going to explode!

So my best friend told me this week that she’s getting married!  Congrats lovey!  And I’ve been thinking about it for a couple of days…. I love her so much and I really wanted to make her something phenomenal for her wedding.  Something heirloom quality, something lace. I’ve got a while because she’s not getting […]

I used Cookie‘s Toe up […]
