In the midst of Winter we're gravitating toward cozy knits aplenty, and that includes our go-to gadgets. Despite the iPod or smartphone's industrial aluminum coating, the devices also deserve a seasonal home which can be crafted in the earbuds cozy knitting kit ($25) from Uncommon Goods. Perfect for knitters trained in the basics, the kit provides circular bamboo knitting needles, 160 yards of Read more
In attempts to maximize my DIY potential (and minimize spending on pricey dog sweaters and stitched toys), I'd love to take up this crafty hobby. Sadly, I was once called too much of a perfectionist to complete the task in a timely fashion, but with my increased age comes decreased fussiness about each stitch being exact, so I think I'm ready! First up on the reading list is Pet Projects: The Read more
Remember when I told you about the Puff Daddy? This DIY version of DWR's spendy Flocks Pouf ($800) is now within price range of all patient knitters, thanks to directions from Heidi and Anna at Norwegian craft and decorating site Pickles.

Update: My German-speaking husband reveals that the description reads, "The pillows come in three sizes and several colors Read more

One hat is shaped like a little Read more
Source Do You DIY? For sure; it's so much fun! Sometimes, if the inspiration hits me. No, I wish I was more creative. Other — do tell! Read more
Remember when I told you about the woman who knitted sweaters for trees? Seems like someone in my neighborhood was inspired by her work. I found this well-bundled tree outside of a cafe in Berkeley. I love this type of guerrilla art; it's so much more, well, cozy than tagging, don't you think? Read more
Luflic, pronounced "loo-flick," is the Old English word for "lovely." Although it's inventive and certainly memorable, I can't say I'd love to sit on the Luflic in the Round chair (inquire for price), which is named after the technique of knitting socks or sleeves. The tubular steel frame that makes its shape is formed in one continuous line that closes in a loop, and thirty feet of crocheted Read more
