I have been considering whether I wanted to continue blogging or not. I had started making more frequent posts on Facebook and Instagram, and was wondering if I just wanted to do that and let the blogging go altogether. But I've decided that I really do want to have the ability to make longer posts, [...]
My First Knitwear Release!
I'm so glad I decided to have the pattern tested with all different weights of yarn, because it really does look strikingly different by just making that one simple change. I feel like that's really value added to the pattern, because it can be so easily adapted for anyone, any age, any gender, fabulous or practical.
Test Knits for My First Knitwear Design
I've been working on a scarf as a gift for my mother-in-law, and I've finally gotten it finished. I originally started using a lace pattern from a book, but I made so many changes to the lace pattern itself, and to the shape of the bottom, that it ended up being its own original design. It's [...]

Mama Dragon likes knitting, sewing, and papercrafting, but you might see an occasional sketch from her as well. We both love fantasy themed projects best (especially dragons, of course!), but we also like sci-fi and pretty much everything to do with nature. We’re gonna try to make good use of the tags to make it easier to find…

For the Love of the Blue Phone Box
You're going to see a lot of fantasy and sci-fi related projects on here, and I guess Doctor Who qualifies as both. I slightly altered a chart that someone had made for a potholder on Ravelry (yep, that site again) and came up with one that fits well on a coffee cup cozy. The second [...]
