Teddy Ear Tutorial

After seeing this photo:

 

 several people asked me for a teddy ear tutorial so I've created one!

Teddy Bear Ear Tutorial

How to find gauge: Cast on appx 10sts. Measure how many sts are in each inch. The sts per inch count it your gauge.

Step 1: Find your gauge

Step 2: Cast on the correct amount of sts to give you appx 3ins leaving a long tail to sew the ear onto your hat. It doesn't have to be perfect but you MUST use the same amount of sts for both ears.

Step 3: Knit 3 rows then switch to stockinette st until you have appx 1-1.5ins from the cast on edge (I used 3 rows in garter st and 7rows in stockinette st for the pictured ears).

Step 4: DO NOT BIND OFF! Cut your yarn leaving a long tail (appx 8ins) and pull it through all the sts.

Step 5: Pull the yarn tail tight to form a semi-circle and tie off your yarn tail.

Step 6: Make the second ear.

Step 7: Using the long tail from casting on, sew your ears onto your hat.

Ta-da! It's just that simple! You can add these ears to hats, hoodies, blankies – whatever cuteness you can think up!

Aug 9th Sneak Peek

Time for another RTS sale!

Below is what I will have available for this month's RTS sale.

See you there!

Tassel Tutorial

Have you ever wondered how to make tassels?  Well, I'm going to show you how!

 Step 1: wrap your yarn the desired amount of times around a piece of cardboard.  I wanted my tassles about the length of a credit card width so I used a gift card holder.

 Step 2: once you have the desired amount of wraps ( I used 20 here) pull a piece of yarn under all the wraps at your top

Step 3: tie the yarn you pulled under your wraps

 This is what you should have right now.

Step 4: cut your bottom (opposite where you just tied)

This is what you should have now.

Step 5: tie another piece of yarn a little bit below the top so you form a small ball.

 Step 6: trim you ends even.

Tada!  You made a tassel!

Multi- Vendor Ready-To-Ship Sale Sneak Peak!

Curios about what I'll have available for the big Multi-Vendor RTS Sale?  Well, Here's a sneak peak for you.  Shipping is included in all prices.

I-Cord Bonnet Pattern Release!!!!

Okay guys, I am more than excited to finally be starting to release patterns!  Here is my first big one... the I-Cord Bonnet!

This bonnet design was inspired by my vacation to Amish country. I wanted to capture the beauty in simplicity. Add a very soft yarn to the lovely design and you have perfection for the special little one in your life. (I know my new baby will be using one this fall :)

This would be an amazing newborn photo prop as well! It is great for boys and girls.

The sizes you will receive in this pattern are:
newborn
0-3mth
3-6mth
6-12mth
1-3yrs

Of course, if you're looking for a finished product I have that too!  I'll be making and selling the finished product in my etsy shop on a regular basis.  I will be trying to make them in a variety of fibers and textures so you have lots to choose from.

If you know my shop at all you know I prefer to have a lot of ready to ship to choose from.  I'm a busy mommy so I tend to not offer as much made to order as some shops but as you know, I still do it!  I love custom orders so don't be afraid to ask!


If you'd like to purchase this pattern please go to ravelry - here- or my etsy shop - here.

Knit Wear For My New Little One!

I figured I'd share projects I've made for my own kiddos here so I don't clog up your facebook feeds.  Below is my first outfit for #4!  The hat is a pattern by Melody's Makings (She's really talented!  Check her out here for more gorgeous patterns!).  I made the jumper to match.  It isn't perfect but it will keep our girly-q warm.  I definitely have some kinks to work out but she'll still look too stinkin' cute in it!

All I can think when I see this is how cute it would be in red and white like a candy cane!  Might have to make one for her newborn photos and use a pretty pointsetta as embellishment.

It's a ....
