I worked furiously for a few days while at my mom’s house over the holidays, and finished my lovely ski bonnet!
I really needed a hat, but I wanted something that wasn’t a beanie. Knitting hats has always been frustrating, because my head is too big and I always have to modify the pattern quite a bit. I figured this style would allow for some flexibility, and I was right!
More photos, etc on Ravelry.
UPDATE: As of now, the winning design has TWELVE votes. TWELVE. That’s right. So please go vote for me – I’d be forever grateful!
Well, I have been down and out for the count with a possible case of Pertussis (whooping cough) for the past four days. I haven’t gotten the test results back yet, but I’m on antibiotics, so cross your fingers I feel better soon!
Since all I’ve been doing is laying around and feeling sorry for myself (I’m the biggest baby about being sick), I noticed a contest from Colour Lovers to design an iPad sleeve on Zazzle.
I’m a big fan of my iPad, so why not? Here’s my entry:
THERE ARE ONLY 52 ENTRIES SO FAR – I THINK I ACTUALLY HAVE A SHOT!
If you enter the contest, let me know! I’d love to see other entries!
I’ve had these antique silver fishing lures in my stash for quite some time, and the other day it struck me that they’re quite familiarly shaped like raindrops. Paired with two of my favorite crafting products, glitter and Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, it makes for a lovely pendant.
 Full tutorial after the jump! (more…)
