What I'm Working On: Wednesday!

We have been super busy crafting a bunch of new items to post up in the shop. Unfortunately for you, I won't be sharing the sneak peek in this blog post, that comes soon. [its almost ready!]

But, here is what I can show you:

[excuse the terrible phone pics! my camera is charging.]

The other day I started working on this little sleeve for my tablet! Its made from 100% cotton, so its soft, washable and strong. I love the bright color blocking, though I'm not quite sure how I'm going to finish the flap, and I'm not sure what buttons or how many I should stick on there.

Also, I've been working on a freeform blanket here and there. It's my first attempt at anything freeform and I don't even know if I'm doing it right! I'll post photos of that as it comes along. Its not looking like much just yet.

What are you working on this week?

projects in progress!

This week I'm working on a custom ordered fox hood! Its made from chunky super soft acrylic and will be totally adorable when finished.

I've been busy...

This is what I have been up to lately.

All of these are now listed in the shop! Check it out.

New Cowls!

I've recently been loving the idea of making a ton of cowls for my etsy shop. So, I've been playing around trying to come up with some new patterns and came up with a couple of cute things.

I had originally planned to make this a convertible cowl. One that had a drawstring at the top and turned into a hat, but the yarn I used was just way too thick for that. It ended up looking kinda silly as a hat, but I really love it as a cowl. This pattern is really easy, so I definitely will be making it a staple in my shop.

This cowl is really awesome. I think it looks a bit more masculine, so I think I'm going to gift it to my husband instead of selling it. I really, really love this yarn. This was my first time using it and I have fallen in love. I think the little bits of tweed are just gorgeous and really make everything look more interesting.

How I spent my Saturday

After a crazy busy week, I got a little bit of a break and decided to pick up some yarn and spend some quality time crocheting. 

After polishing up my shell skills, I decided to get to work on an infinity scarf that I've been thinking about and doodling for a couple of weeks now. So far, I am really loving the way it looks. I haven't completely decided on the total length or if I'm going to twist it before sewing it together, but I'm just letting it flow today.

Projects in Progress

Here's a little sneak peak at some projects we have been working on.

This is going to be a pair of cotton armwarmers that will lace up, similar to the dance socks I posted about here. I think they will be super cute!

This is a headband/earwarmer made of 80% Peruvian Highland Wool and 20% Donegal Tweed. The yarn is absolutely gorgeous and soft. I love the way it looks with the buttons! The best part is that it will fit any size head, as you can just button it anywhere it feels comfortable for you.

[in progress. i just love the flecks of tweed!]

These items will be available in the shop some time next week.
