Green Kitchen: Craft Blog, etc.

Monday, January 21, 2008

You think... you wink... you do a double blink.

One year and five minutes later a WIP is finished. I just had to add the already made flowers. It's for my sis — she just opened an etsy shop, by the way.

I made up the pattern for the hat (just a single crochet) and the flowers were from this scarf that I made from Needlebook's free pattern. After enjoying wearing it a couple times, I ended up taking the scarf apart because it curled (not sure of the official knitting term for that rolling thing that happens sometimes). The hat yarn is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Superchunky — so super soft. The flowers were scrap, thrifted acrylic and cotton.

Because this blog is not yarn fiber biased, here is a sewing WIP. The little guy saw Archie and Olive at Wee Wonderfuls and wanted one. I'm a sucker for this guy — I'll sew him anything, anytime.

I don't knit or crochet but I marvel at those with the ability. That hat is adorable.

p.s. did you get the pic I emailed you?; Mon Jan 21, 07:33:00 PM PST
