Hi folks!
Have you noticed our new look? I'm pretty excited about it! It was time for something new.
When we started this blog a few years ago, our intentions were really vague. So, without the constraint of rules, we spent some time finding ourselves. We've experimented with graphics, formats, layouts, content, etc. After all this time, I think we've suddenly found our groove. Of course there are more changes to come, but we like this start.
Alex and I really enjoy writing (knitting/quilting/sewing) patterns. And from our download stats, many of you enjoy using them! We've decided that this is an area where we are going to devote the bulk of our time (don't worry...we're still distractible). So keep watching...there is more to come!
For now, visit the tabs above to access our current selection of patterns (all free!). They are organized by craft type so it's easy to find what interests you. We also have a presence on both Ravelry and Craftsy if you would like to download our patterns from there.
Speaking of new patterns, we will have two yummy knitting patterns featured in the upcoming book DeFarge Knits Shakespeare. We will let you know when the book release date is set.

PS - I forgot to mention that our Log Cabin Quilt Block was named one of the top 6 most popular designs featured on FaveQuilts last year! Check out the story here.

And so it begins....
After many months of discussion, collaboration, and procrastination, we are here.
Starting this project has been a lesson in tenacity. As our header indicates, we are not (exactly) the most focused folks on the planet. So, basically, we start, we stop, we talk, we watch a movie, we knit. You get the picture. Eventually, we managed to pull it together and produce a concept and a blog space that we're proud of.
Frankly, we probably thought about it too hard.
Regardless of our faults, the one thing we're both really good at is creating. We make stuff. We perceive the world differently. We find beauty where others don't. This is important to us and, we think, important to a lot of other people as well. We'd like this space to be a fun place to gather and see how we (and our readers) are creating today. Maybe we'll even make some new friends.
Welcome aboard. We hope you enjoy our ramblings and find some value in what we have to offer.
