Hello! Today I have for you an Easter or Spring inspired reversible plushy. It has a rabbit on one side and a duck on the other. It was knit using an Addi King knitting machine, however you can hand knit it using size 6.0 mm circular needles. The features of the animals are both crocheted... Continue Reading →
I made some Booties last week for a baby shower. I looked everywhere for a free pattern and couldn't find anything that was for simple little booties. Just when I was about to give up looking I found a pattern for minion booties that was a style I liked. I followed the pattern exactly but... Continue Reading →
I made this pillowcase back in April. I was at the fabric store, at the checkout, when I seen this fuzzy, super soft material in the marked down remnants bin. I picked it up, loved it, thought, "I could use this to make a blanket", then I realized was very likely not going to make... Continue Reading →
Last night I made a beanie for a work friend. I had already made a few back in the fall for people I work with, but I had to make one more. I used this free pattern but changed up the sizes a little. Also, I added a band of fleece around the bottom so... Continue Reading →
I made this Puppy Mug Hug a few years ago. It's so cute, I thought I'd make a post about it. The instructions are at Red Heart. The only thing I would differently now, is add a single crochet border around the top and bottom because I do not like how uneven it is.
Yesterday I made an infinity scarf with a hidden pocket in it. It's a great place to keep your phone or wallet or whatever. Now I need to think of a place to hide things in the summer. You will need: Fabric for scarf 65" x 30", or however big you want your scarf to... Continue Reading →
Back in May and June of 2013, I made an amigurumi Bowser for my dad for father's day. The free pattern can be found at https://shedko247.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/bowser/. There are so many pieces to make, so it's a bit time consuming, but so worth it. Below are progress pictures of the Bowser I made.
Happy Valentine's Day! We had a snowstorm today so I took advantage of being stuck inside and spent the day making toddler sized mittens. The Children's Mittens I had made earlier were too big, so I found a pattern for smaller ones. This new pattern was still too big though, so I adjusted it to... Continue Reading →
I've had this idea in my head for a while now but it has taken me a long time to get around to it. I've used iron on transfers in the past so I began to wonder if I could use them with pieces of ribbon to make labels. I tried it with a piece... Continue Reading →
Today I made a pussy hat. I found the free instructions at Ravelry. You can use any size needles and wool so I chose to use Bernat Roving wool in flint, and size 10.00 mm circle needles, that were 40 cm long. To start I cast on 60 stitches and knit 2 purl 2 for two... Continue Reading →
This week I decided to make a cat bed for my kitty, Killa. I had been thinking about making one for a while, but I wasn't sure how to get the bottom attached to the sides nicely, and I know Killa doesn't normally like cat beds anyway. However, he does like fuzzy, soft blankets, so... Continue Reading →
