Cowls for my Craft Sale

Here are a few photos of some cowls I've made for the 20th. I'm really happy with how they have turned out and how different they all are!

New Favorite

I just spent the last few days modifying and reworking a great crochet pattern of a Mushroom Pouch. It was originally a large, hinged, yarn pouch and I turned it into a sweet little mouse house! I used different yarn, different gauge, and at the end of everything, it's not much like the original at all.

I can't believe how long it took, or how challenging it was to modify, but I am in love! I think it's just the cutest little thing, and I pretty sure Daniel will be receiving one at Christmas. It's in my shop now too!

My craft swap gift is ready to send!

I am SO excited to be a part of Callie's craft swap over at The Magical Bean. It's my first swap, and I can't wait to send the gift to my partner sometime next week. I crocheted her a neck warmer with two strands of bulky yarn and a #12 crochet hook. I am including a choice of 2 different brooches to close it with.

It turned out to be so soft and cozy, and I love how the brooches turned out. The flower was based on a Martha tutorial. It was simple, but took a little fiddling to glue it all nicely in place. I also wished I would have had a bit more than 1 yard of lace on hand. Although it turned out to be a nice size, I would have liked to have the option of making it bigger. The other brooch is made from a wooden circle. I stamped it with a stamp from my Yellow Owl Workshop Cityscape Stamp Set. I love how it all turned out and hope it suits my partner!
