Alice Cullen Wrist Warmer Loom-Along

Alright, so if anyone knows me, they know I am a die-hard Twilight fan, the books are amazing and the new movie is great (Not going to give any spoilers for those of you who have not seen it). My husband took me out on a great date to the 12:06 showing at our local theater.

There is one character, Alice, that embodies good fashion sense. Her wardrobe must be millions of dollars...but with an uncanny ability to predict trends in the stock market...that isn't really an issue. But not all of her clothes are designer and spendy. She wears this great pair of blue toned wrist warmers with a white long sleeve shirt under a blue jacket. It looks great and just pushes that cozy fashonista thing she seems to be able to pull off so well.

Check out this great Loom-A-Long on craftzine.com

These great wrist warmers are easily made with the flower loom, if you need to size up and use the KK 24 peg loom, the process is the same, just more pegs.

Inspiration interupted...

One of my major pet peeves is being interrupted when I have a great amount of built up momentum in inspiration... well, guess what?


I am stuck in my Financial Accounting class...


6 miles away from my craft room...


Unable to knit...though my knitting is sitting in my backpack...6 inches away.


Wish me luck to keep my focus when class is out.

Peace Out!

Christmas List slowly deminishes

Have you ever noticed that as you get closer tot he holidays, your Christmas list begins to get simpler and simpler as you realize how over your head you have gotten? I have gone from Cocoa packs for EVERYONE to the contents of cocoa packs in small tent style treat cards. Found these at Wunsapona Time. I think that this will demonstrate my skills in a sector other than just knitting. I am still making scarves and hats, but not the knitted gift pouches. I completed 3 pouches that will also fit wine bottles, so they were not a complete waste of time and yarn. But now, to make some pouch cards...Yay.

More wonderful fiber!!!

Hey! Check out Cloudy Skies by Critter Ranch

Wouldn't it make such a wonderful and warm hat for the season?



Have a GREAT Wednesday!

Impatience and New Crafts...

I am a bad bad bad girl. I hinted at a gift for christmas to my husband...well not so much hinted as linked him to an etsy shop with some REALLY elaborate drop spindles and fibers, then I went today, and bought myself a plain and simple drop spindle. Just a plain wood spoke spindle...maybe I'll still get one for Christmas...maybe not, but I couldn't wait to try out my new interest in hand spinning and dying my yarns. i wanted to make some scarfs and hats from my own yarns before Christmas...Hope he doesn't get angry, and if he does, I'll make him a hat out of heavy handspun wool and he won't be angry anymore, since he has taken to walking to work now.

Here is "The Little Joe" He will be renamed...too many folks I don't like in the area named Joe...

Hehe, I can't WAIT until it arrives!
