Whether I like it or not, math is an integral part of designing and aside from my crochet hooks, is probably the tool I use the most. It's used in everything from figuring out stitch count, sizing, and finding the yardage of yarn used in my designs or projects. This last point is what today's… Continue reading How To Find Yarn Yardage Without Unraveling
Copyright 2021 Yarn-bending.com By far, the single item I made and sold the most of last year were my simple 3 round face rounds, with a total of nearly 150 face rounds!

This morning we had our first and probably only snowfall of the year and so, as I sit here watching the snowfall and listening to Vivaldi's Winter Concertos (from The Four Seasons) and the Frozen soundtrack on repeat, I thought that now would be an apt time to share the non melt-able snowflake flurry I… Continue reading My Own Personal Flurry!

It's hard to believe that I haven't really posted anything I've been working on. I didn't mean to neglect the site. While most of this strange year has felt really long, the last few months seem to have gone by rather quickly. This is probably due in part to how busy we've been over the… Continue reading What I’ve Been Working On + Project Planning
I've wanted to have a mobile place to keep my crafting paraphernalia organized, yet easily at hand for a while now. Due to our 2 story house at the time, it wasn't very feasible. The apartment we are in right now is all one level and the house we will be moving into soon is… Continue reading Mobile Craft Cart
