How I did it
How to knit a cowl for Nick for Christmas.
It took me
4 days
It made me

How I did it: I found the pattern I used ("Cherry Garcia") on Ravelry. I ordered one skein of Cadena yarn in the colorway Cranberry from KnitPicks, and used size 10 16" circular bamboo needles.  Read how I did it…

How to ask myself 75 questions from Lyved.
It took me
2 months
It made me

How I did it: Zaldania came up with this goal and I loved it! I usually tackled 10 questions at a time. Then I thought...thought...thought! I stretched beyond my comfort zone and was really honest with myself (painfully so at times). Read how I did it…

How to knit the El Capitan hat for Kelly for Christmas.
It took me
3 days
It made me

How I did it: I've made several of these hats for people, and my friend Kelly loved them and wanted one. I ordered yarn for the hat from KnitPicks and found the buttons at JoAnn Fabrics. Then I just knitted it! Read how I did it…
