Thrifty Gifty Boxes

23 Mar

While stumbling on my favorite new website/browser www.stumbleupon.com I found a fun pattern for giftboxes and another fun pattern for butterflies.  So of course my mind started spining and I raced to find my hot glue gun (…. and the glue that was supposed to be with right there with it).

One of my new favorite things- that just happened to be onsale the last time I was at Joann Fabrics, are the books of cardstock.  I bought two… So needles to say I was occupied for a few nights.

Using a combination of craft scissors (the little tiny ones) and an exacto knife (for the long straight lines, I cut out box after box and butterfly after butterfly.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

Pens and Tin Cans

New craft today!  I realized that I shouldn’t just toss a perfectly good tin can in the recycling bin… I should give it a new life as something lovely!

OK, I know that this is a knitting blog but I’m also a crafter at heart.  So on my day off on Tuesday I spent the first half of my day watching my adorable nieces, and the second half making floret pins, and hair accessories that are just too cute!

All are for Sale! Shoot me a message if you would like to purchase anything!

Hats with a Swirl

10 Mar

I cam across a loverly new pattern for hats on www.ravelry.com.  This is one pattern that looks great in all the different colors that you can imagine- and depending on the color it’s great for both girls and guys.

This pattern consists of a k2 p2 border, and then a repetition of k2 yo k4 k2tog.  Finishing is easy as well- its just a modification of the stitches you’ve repeated the whole hat.
