Last week

Hi!

I think this fall I’m going to be knitting and crocheting all the things on my list I have wanted to make myself. This is kind of a long list if I really think about it. So, maybe I’ll just be marking off some of them. Do you have a list of things you want to make yourself? Or am I the only weird one with a note book full of things I plan to knit and crochet for myself and others. Ha. Well I get to mark at least another thing off my crochet list, for I have crocheted myself some leg warmers! These have always been on my list since I started crocheting because my legs always hurt in the winter. So these are kind of something I needed to make myself. Within the same week I completed some fingerless mittens, or I guess you could call them wrist warmers, leg warmers, and of course the bows.  

My fur babies in the back!

You can find the mittens here . 

Here are the Leg warmers. 

Note for the leg warmes: for the first round I single crocheted, for the next four rounds I half doubled crocheted, and then started the single crochet rounds. This will make the beginning and end look the same. Which the pattern does not tell you. 

In other news...

I have to announce that I started a project that I thought I would never even start… a KNITTED BLANKET! I think I became a knitting addict overnight because I officially started one and don’t plan on stopping until it’s finished. Might take me the rest of my life but it doesn’t even matter, if I accomplish this, I will feel like wonder woman! I asked my best friend Janessa to follow along so I won’t feel so lonely in my adventure. If you’re brave enough to take on this task with us then I will tell you how much I casted on and what stitch I’m using.  

OOops..I also forgot that I knitted a Kerchief Scarf from one of my knitting books( Last-Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson) ... I started this project because I wanted to learn how to increase. It was a one day knitting project but I wasn’t a big fan of this type of scarf. So I’m undoing it and using the yarn for another project. At least I can say I finally knitted something from one of these books I own. 

 

Unitl next time my friends!

Something small and FAST

Hello!

While lying in bed the other night I found myself wanting to knit something easy, and something that doesn’t take a whole day. So I got on pinterest, and began my search for a fast project. I stumbled upon these cute little bows someone had knitted! I thought hmmmm... I have left over yarn form the rainbow cowl...I can knit a bow every color! Like a cute little handmade collection of bows! So the next morning I woke up a tad bit earlier and knitted some bows in bed while my boyfriend slept. These are very easy to make and are great for beginners! I have to say I adore the bows! I have worn one every day since I made them! I always catch people staring at them when I’m out and about. I can honestly say they make my day better, maybe there magical... :) 

You can find these knitted bows by clicking here . Since there was only three bow patterns and I still had more colors, I repeated some of the patterns and some I made up. Just use whatever stitch you like and do that for about 15 to 16 rows. I used size 6 needles for all of my bows. 

If you want to follow me on pinterest or instagram just search my name and you will find me:) 

Have a lovely day everyone! Until next time my friends.
