Sunflower Harvest Collar

Here's something new I crocheted. I just love Autumn and Sunflowers, so this came to mind. The bumble bee on the center of the flower is a button that fastens the collar. Quite unusual, don't you think?

It's actually for sale in my Etsy shop.

Cozy Knits for Christmas

Image
Christmas will be here soon and if you're like me, you're knitting and crocheting lots of gifts. It's always good to find some quick knits at this time of year, so I did want to let you know about a book I came across recently called Cozy Knits edited by Tanis Gray.   This book includes 50 projects to knit divided among 5 Chapters: Heartfelt Hats Warm & Wonderful Mittens Cuddly Cowls & Scarves Snuggly Sweaters, Shawls & Shrugs Quick & Clever Gifts There are excellent illustrations and clear directions.

DIY Fred Astaire Scarf Pattern

Image
I'm really happy to say that after being included in dozens of treasuries on Etsy, my Fred Astaire Scarf is now going to a new home! I've always been a big fan of the debonaire Mr. Astaire and chose to include him in my series of knitwear dedicated to Old Time Movie Star Idols. Now that the scarf has a new owner, I've published a pattern so that even really new crocheters can make this fast and simple scarf. The pattern includes many suggestions for yarn and color variations, so there's no need to stick with the black and gray I chose for Fred. You can get this pattern at Craftsy Have fun making several of these for yourself or to give as holiday gifts. The scarf only takes a few hours and a small amount of yarn, so it's perfect for unique, inexpensive presents.
