2 Foot Scarecrow



'Sew Sunny Homestyle' by Tone Finnanger. You can find this fun project in there and alot of other great ones! <3
I made this scarecrow for my mom's birthday I believe, last year. I really like how it turned out! It was really fun to make, there was so many fun little details you did like hand-paint the face, hot glue-gun on the twig hair and hands and sew all the little clothes and accessory's for it. :) I've been wanting to make another one for a long time, but haven't gotten around to it yet. :)
What do you like to sew?

The Perfect Cable Scarf

 <3

 You can fined the awesome pattern in this magazine!

This really is the perfect cable scarf! It goes with everything and is really fun to wear! I love it, it's always the one I want to put on when I am going out(I had it on today!). :)
Another awesome thing about this scarf is it is sooo easy to make! This is the perfect scarf to make if you want to try cable knitting for the first time. <3 I added some really cool fringe to it too that you don't see in the pictures. <3 What's your favorite thing you own that's home-made?
Jesus blessing to you!

snow flake sweater



This is the first sweater that I've ever made. :) I am quite happy with how it turned out! it was a 'quick knit' so-to-say, and it's really warm and cozy! You use really bulky yarn(I used Lions Brand) and the patterns not very complex, which is a big yes! You can get this awesome pattern and others at http://www.verenaknitting.com/  !
What do you think of my color scheme? I again like it better then the patterns. Lol
God Bless!

Cable Neck Scarf

what ya think? I made this neck scarf  this past December hopping to give it to my mom for Christmas...but I didn't get the buttons for it until last week. So now it's a very late Christmas present. :) I think it's quite cute even if I didn't get a good picture of it.....yeah, I am not real good at taking pictures of my self-wearing things..... ;) Have you ever tryed cable knitting? It's the funnest thing! You think it's going to be way hard, but you'll be pleasantly surprised at the easy-ness of it!

me and taking photo's?
this gives you a better idea of what it looks like.
I made mine with bulky weight yarn instead of two strands like the patterns.
Go get out your knitting needles! <3

Mittens

 These amazingly are the first mittens that I've ever made! And even though it took me making 3&1/2 of them to get two that were the same size, they were still fun to make and amazingly easy! The only problem with them is that they're a little big, so if I made them again I'd make them smaller.
 What do you think of the vine-flower thing?
 I personally like my color scheme better then the patterns. :)
Are you knitting anything right now? :)

welcome!

How's it going?!
This(hopefully)will be my crafting blog! Where I'll post things I make and create, to keep me and you inspired to get out our crafting supplies and be creative as we work with our hands!
