lizap: Heirloom
http://lizapdesign.blogspot.com/2011/09/heirloom.html
Friday, September 2, 2011. I come from a long line of crafty women and these beautiful garments were knitted by my grandmother. Sadly, she passed away when I was only three so I don't have a lot of memories of her but I have learned that knitting was a passion of hers. My aunt had been holding on to these baby clothes but I convinced her let me have them to frame. I'm sorry I never had the chance to learn from her but I'm glad that I have a few pieces of her work to inspire me. View my complete profile.

Thursday, July 22, 2010. I love my swiffer. Let's face it two cats make it a necessity. What I don't love is buying swiffer cloths and throwing them away so I decided to make my own. A quick internet search shows I'm hardly the first person to have this idea. After sifting through many different versions I landed on this tutorial. Which converts a ballband dishcloth into a swiffer cover (instructions for the ballband dishcloth can be found here. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, September 5, 2011. Awesome or just odd? If you are intrigued you can find the recipe for dill macarons with chocolate hazelnut buttercream via the modcloth blog. If you try them let me know! In the meantime I'm sticking with the basics. Homemade apple pie. Yum. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

lizap: November 2010

Monday, November 22, 2010. My Sweater is Famous. My sweater was featured on the Craft blog. My friend asked if I would knit him a sweater and mentioned that it would be great if it had zombies on it. I searched high and low for a pattern but couldn't find anything that I liked. Always up for a challenge I decided to try my hand at designing one myself. I found this amazing site.

lizap: The Dude
http://lizapdesign.blogspot.com/2012/06/dude.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2012. I finally finished this. Ambitious project a few months ago. I'm happy to report it's gotten a lot of use and even a few compliments. Surprisingly, it actually didn't take as long to knit as I imagined it would, but the complicated colorwork did require extra attention so it wasn't the best project for social knitting. I'll leave you with one last shot of Josh doing his best Lebowski. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Make your own badge here.

lizap: March 2011
http://lizapdesign.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 7, 2011. The knitting spree continues and I recently finished this cabled cardigan. It was a free pattern from Lion Brand and more information is available on Ravelry. It was a good challenge and I'm feeling much more confident with cables now. Of course, not confident enough to show you an extreme close-up of the many mistakes that you'll find if you look closely at this sweater. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, July 7, 2011. I finally sewed something that I would actually wear in public! I made this skirt using Anna Maria Horner's. Skirt pattern which you can find here. The print would not have been my first choice but it's growing on me and paired with a tie front blouse, cardigan and my favorite bow necklace. I feel a bit like I'm channeling style icon Emma Pillsbury. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Make your own badge here. The Rusty Bobbin: Inklings.

Monday, June 21, 2010. Let's Go to the Movies. I've been hesitant to post this project because I haven't been able to get a decent picture. I guess these will just have to do. My cinephile husband has turned our extra bedroom into his very own movie theater complete with blackout shades, a giant screen framed by red velvet curtains and a popcorn machine. He lovingly refers to it as "Cinema Zyberdiso." In celebration of his movie palace I made this pillow for his captain's chair. Links to this post. This ...
