Ravelympics
Hello there, I’m Bizzy Sheep…OK, not really, but I’m knitting an entire sweater during the Olympics as Bizzy Sheep (from our Dizzy Sheep daily deal website). I have to be crazy, but the yarn, the pattern, and even the buttons conspired to make me temporarily lose my mind and agree to do this. [...]

Bon Voyage, Dizzy!
Dizzy Sheep is going on a voyage, à la Flat Stanley, to visit various friends around the country. I made him a little travel case, and we had a little bon voyage party this evening.

I Have Officially Achieved S.A.B.L.E.*
Life has been hectic for the past few weeks. (That is very likely the understatement of the century. Possibly the millennium.) The reason for this is that my Mom and I have done a completely crazy, insane and wonderful thing…
We bought a yarn shop!
Not just any yarn shop, but The Village Yarn [...]
