Did you get any crochet or knitting goodies for Christmas?
My awesome mother-in-law got me some really cool stitch markers from Miss Babs:
And my mom got me some Knitter’s Pride Karbonz 6″ DPNs in US sizes 4, 5, & 6:
I’m really excited to try everything with the yarn that I bought online in these post-Christmas sales! Have you ever tried the Karbonz needles? I’ve heard such good things about them — they seem to be some of the best available by what I’ve heard!
Gosh it’s awesome to see yarn on sale! Here’s what I’ve seen so far:
Have you seen any that I’ve missed? Please let me know by commenting below (I’m stocking up)!
The clutch I made is complete and I’ve written down the pattern and typed it all up for anyone who’s interested (for free, of course)!
It utilizes the flower stitch sampler granny square I made recently (4 of them, stitched together in a special way) and pairs them with a fabric lining and a 7″ zipper. A sewing machine is nice but isn’t absolutely required. The clutch holds a checkbook or an iPhone 6 in a case.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comment box below or contact me using the contact form in the menu bar. There will be even more awesome patterns coming up soon (I’m starting to get on a roll with this pattern thing!) so stay tuned!
I hope you all have the happiest of Holidays, wherever you are, and stay safe if you’re traveling! See you soon!
Well, almost… I got this Annie’s Attic pamphlet for about $8 counting shipping on Ebay:
Springtime Schmingtime (does that work?), I’m using these for Christmas ornaments that I will give as gifts next year, since I’m too late for this year. I was inspired by these gorgeous creations and I aim to get close to those, although I still have some supplies to buy. Well, all I have are the pins, actually, so I’ll need the beads, ribbons, crochet thread, and ornaments.
And speaking of, where on earth do I buy 3″ satin ornaments? I found some old ones for sale on Etsy in a gold color and I found some on Wal-Mart’s website, but that’s it!
Another question: these patterns call for size #30 crochet thread and a #11 steel hook. Well, I have a #12 steel hook and a 1.15mm steel hook, do you think one of those would work? Also there’s some really pretty #10 crochet thread that I’d like to buy for this, but would that be too much of a difference? I’ve never really done thread work before so any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks a bunch, and thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!
I got married on October 17th and we have our pictures back! I wanted to share just a few here.
My cousin took this one.
We had a variety of pies and mulled cider instead of cake and punch.
The dress belonged to my mom. We didn’t alter it much; the biggest change was taking the long sleeves off.
And remember when I was talking about crocheting a wrap for the wedding? Here it is:
It’s kinda hard to see the ends, but you get the idea. The pattern is the Izumi wrap and it worked up surprisingly quickly. I used 1255 yards of DyeForWool’s Merino/BabyCamel (sock weight) in the colorway Burning Fuchsia. I’m totally gonna wear it again for formal functions or even as a scarf.
Well, that’s all for today. I’m so excited to share these photos with you! See you again soon!
