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.
This is a super simple and adorable winter terrarium. You will need:
Glass container
Sugar
Glitter
Sisal Trees
Animal Figurines
Other decorative items
Pour sugar into bowl to desired depth, and top with a thin layer of glitter
Use a pen or pencil to push the glitter down along the sides of the glass. It’s like the sand art you used to do as a kid!
Decoratively arrange your items in the snow.
Step back and admire your work.
Bask in the adorableness.
I uploaded these knit stitch Photoshop brushes back in October, but I’ve since learned that the original file didn’t include all of the brushes. Oops! I re-packaged them for you, so you should be good to go! Merry Christmas!
To create a canvas of lovely stockinette (that never curls!) simply do the following:
1. With either the single or the row of stitches, position your cursor at the upper left side of your canvas (or at desired start point).
2. While holding the shift key down, click and drag your cursor to the bottom of your canvas (or to desired stop point)
3. Repeat along the entire length of your imagined sweater-canvas.
For gorgeous fair-isle or stranded colorwork, simply use the “filled” knit brush in the color of your choice to go over individual stitches:
