A Touch of Blue and A WIP Fit for a Princess (Or a Witch, depending on who you ask...)

Hello Everyone!

My recent projects have kept me quite busy, to the point of often forgetting to update everyone on the latest endeavors. So it's remedy time!



First up there's this lovely little necklace that I found from Creative Yarn. It's quite basic and as long as you know how to chain and SC you can make this necklace! Just grab your favorite yarn and get hooking, I used Red Heart Super Saver in Aran. Cotton would be dreamy though! The flower part is completely up to you, as the pattern doesn't include one. I used a curlicue pattern from Ravelry. It was super easy and turned out great! I added a small pearl for some extra detail and tada!

Next on the WIP is this gorgeous Fairy Tale Poncho from Tamara Kelly over at Moogly. (Another craft blog that I adore, btw... Seriously check it out!) This project has been on the queue for a while and I have no idea why I just now started it. It looks a little intimidating at first glance, but really it's just SC and DC and decreases... you make 4 large rectangles and sew them together with a mattress stitch. EASY!!! It reminds me a little of The Cochran Witches from "Heir of Fire" by Sarah J. Mass.. which is probably one of the reasons I've been so drawn to it. Then of course there's the Rose Red obsession... I've actually named this project Rosenrot Umhang, which loosely translated from the German is Rose Red Cape.

Then there's a mystery project that's Top Secret and I shall not blog about for fear that my boyfriend will read about it and thus spoil the surprise. But... If you're my friend on Ravelry it's really no secret to you anyway... that's all I'm sayin'.

 Anyway your homework is to check out moogly! HERE'S the pattern for her Fairy Tale Poncho! Check it out and see if you can keep from swooning!

Happy Crafting!

Shake Your Pom-Poms Hat!

Hello to all my lovely readers! As you know I'm an avid knitter, actually some might call it a slight obsession that I have with yarn. Well thanks to Ravelry I'm never at a loss for what creation comes next. I love quick and easy projects and that's what I found with this hat from IS + WAS. It's anthropologie inspired diy which makes it even more fantastic! Why pay a big price for something you can make yourself? The answer is simple, you wouldn't!!! You would buy 1-2 skeins of your favorite chunky yarn and make this puppy up!!! (pssst... in case you're wondering I used Oklahoma City Green by Lion Brand's Hometown solids collection) Check it out!!! Here's what I came up with! I did make a slight change to the pattern by doing a 2x2 ribbing for the first 2 rows to give it a nice ribbed edge. Pretty awesome, huh? So head on over to IS + WAS' blog and get the free pattern! HERE is the link, in case you're wondering! Happy Craft...

Hello Crafty Followers! It has truly been too long since I've posted about my crafty endeavors. Since my last post I've been to Philadelphia for the wedding of my best friend. While I was nervous about flying, it was an adventure that proved to be a delight! I saw some incredible things and was introduced to the most amazing store... ahum... LUSH! "Louis this could be the start of a beautiful friendship" perfectly describes my feelings toward the trendy vegan/ environmentally friendly haven! Anyway, moving right along from my discovery of the witchcraft that is the FUNbar and Twilight bath bomb! I also met some pretty amazing people and bonded over Bacon, because who doesn't love bacon (... no offense to my vegetarian followers). To sum up a story that could one day be turned into a romantic comedy by Hallmark... I shall suffice to say that I had a wonderful time! You wanna know more? You'll have to wait twenty years and buy my memoirs! LOL! Anyway... Let...
