The knitting M.U.A is a certified hooker…

I MUST knit!


I have been a crafty lady for most of my life. I love D.I.Y crafting and most things handmade.

I have had different blogs in the past chronicling my journey in yarn arts. Lately, I have been busy and I almost feel out of sync with my handiwork.

My hobby is, or at least it was knitting. I have not created anything in over 6 months. I do not feel guilty as I’d be feeling the pang of guilt had I been knitting and procrastinating on essential things that HAVE to be done. When I was an avid knitter that would happen from time to time…So the break was good to get my priorities in check. I would buy yarn , books and supplies all to have it pile up, lost and eventually donated…It was a mess. But fun nonetheless. I’ve matured a bit. And now I want to knit again. RIGHT NOW… Maybe even crochet. I love the possibilities of what my own hands can create and beautify...


That is why when my daughter refused to let go off a purple ball of cotton yarn I didn’t force her to put it down. Last week She had lost the wool hat I made her over a year ago so I figured this was her way of requesting a new one…I picked up 2 other complimenting colors and a couple of crochet hooks…

My aim is one project per month. Nothing more …nothing less…

Handcrafting is such a fabulous way to slow down this fast- paced crazy world, it enables you to express your self and revel in your creativity. Your God given talent and ability can be used to beautify your world…

Do you knit, crochet, or craft in anyway? I’d love to hear about it and the joy, release (or possible frustrations) it brings you…

If you’re not a crafter, you may want to grab a needle and a ball of yarn and head over to YOUTUBE for a quick knitting lesson video…

Now be fair warned that you may just get HOOKED!

Peace, Love and Yarny goodness to all….

  1. I learned to crochet as a child and let it go by the wayside til I was about to become a mother for the first time. After that I did a little tunisian crochet as a way to bridge the gap between knitting and crochet, though I didn't know it at the time. In 2004 I finally got into knitting and I haven't looked back since. I love it. As a new crocheter, you're going to enjoy yourself. It's a whole different set of movements and a different kind of soothing, if you ask me. Have Fun!
