Come Say Hi
Sick Day…
This is what happens when I am sick. I spent most of the day yesterday sitting on the couch, watching tv,
and knitting my first pair of socks. As you can see, I got quite a bit done…and that’s not including the times I restarted it! I am using this pattern, but sadly, they seem to be rather tight, even using a larger needle than suggested. Oh, well. They fit and I don’t think I could bring myself to undo it all and start over. Besides, the yarn kind of hides it!
Crochet Hamburger Pattern Available!
Yep, that’s right…my hamburger pattern is now available =) I currently have it listed on my Etsy shop, although I have only listed one. I have never tried to sell a pattern before, so I have no idea how fast it will go! Once that one sells though, I will list several more. My long term plan is to set up a shopping cart here on my site, so then I won’t have to worry about quantities and emailing pdf’s.
Sneak Peak…
I’m just putting the finishing touches on the pattern, I will have it available soon!
Warm Fuzzies Book Review…Kind of
I enjoy collecting books, especially cookbooks and pattern books. The other day I picked up Warm Fuzzies: 30 Sweet Felted Projects by Betz White. When I picked it up, I looked at all the pictures and decided to buy it. I assumed it had knitting instructions for all the projects, I was wrong. When I took it home and started reading through it, I found out that it actually instructs you to dig through your closets and local thrift stores for wool sweaters to felt and cut up. I was so excited! Doing it this way is cheaper and easier.
The patterns in this book are great, most of the projects are practical with little details that make them fun. Each pattern has step by step instructions with pictures to help guide you through the project. Unfortunately, I don’t have a stash of wool sweaters lying around, but I plan to take a trip to the thrift store soon and stock up…my first project is going to be a robot sweater vest for my 2 year old!
