On Mother's Day! - If it weren't for my own mother and her favorite aunt, my great-aunt Joske, I would never have become the knitter/crocheter (aka fiber artist) that I am today1 Bless my mom whom I lost in 1987 and who taught me to crochet, and Aunt Joske, who died in her 90s in the early 2000s who taught me to knit. Mom was an artist/painter/sculptor/mixed m... - 2012/05/13 The Handmade Movement - Sorry but today I'm going to be standing on my soap box as I talk about something I love. Growing up I was poor and every year my mother and I would make things for our relatives because we could not afford to buy many presents. As I was growing up we baked cookies, crocheted scarves, embroidered and cross stitched towels, made ornaments, did ... - 2012/05/07 The Finished Bag....and what I learned! - Well, here is the finished bag. It's not bad, but not great! It looks unevenly felted to me, and the stitch definition is still slightly there - not ideal for knitted felting! So....what did I learn from this second attempt? Use a mesh lingerie bag - not a pillowcase bag. Not sure where all the loose fibers went - it may have been yarn... - 2012/05/05 The Felting Saga - Part III - Had to try Wonder Washer again! This time, I tried a few different tricks.....not knowing what the result would be. Here is the knitted bag BEFORE the start of the felting process- about 10" x 10." It's mostly knit with crocheted flap edging and strap. First problem.....I ran out of the teal-colored yarn, so I had to improvise to ... - 2012/05/04 The Felting Saga - Part II - Please read part one here for a bit of background on this felting fiasco! So it became obvious that I needed to find/develop some product or technique for felting knitted pieces that WOULD work for me - or abandon that aspect of my felting career for good! I am fascinated by felting and "felt" unwilling to give it up. Back to Go... - 2012/05/04 Back in the Saddle Again - Something few know about me is that 2 years ago I was training for the Rock an Roll marathon till a foot injury took me out for 3 months. I was training hard and I was doing my long run for the week, 14 miles, in the Aptos hills. If you know anything about Aptos you'll know its hilly and there is shit for cell phone reception. Around mile 10 I was ... - 2012/05/03

Top of the World Knits - My Craft Journal
I come from a long line of crafters. My grandmother and mother sewed avidly and my sister and aunt paint, draw, quilt, and manage their own jewelry-making businesses. I have been knitting since I was 12 years old.
My hope in creating this blog is to provide an outlet to showcase my projects and also to share my thoughts, ideas, and inspirations for my crafts.
Scarf It Up!
This is a blog for those who appreciate wearable and functional fiber art. Knitting is my passion, but mine is not your grandmother's knitting! It's funky and edgy - something for everyone.
