Inspiration: DPNS

There’s hope for me yet!  Maybe this time, my hate, hate relationship with dpns will turn to love!

Sonja Zaitsevich just proved  (to me) that hats could be knitted on two dpns.  See her Sept 17th, 2013 Instagram entry if you’re interested.

I’m going to suck it up then give it a go!!!  Looks kinda like magic loop without the cord and without having to pull and slide stitches.

I’ll let y’all know how things turn out!  😀

Craft Book Challenge: Cause Christmas Can’t Come Soon Enough …

craftbookchallengesmall buttonI should have posted this last week for the October entry of my craft book challenge.  This should not even be considered a D.I.Y how to — it was so easy.  All I needed were some colourful jump-rings and some charms (I bought all the supplies at Oriental Trading during Summer 2012 ).  Five minutes later … 14 winter/Christmas themed stitch-markers.  Yes, I know it’s only Fall, but Christmas can’t come soon enough for me!  😛

Aren’t they just so adorable?!!!!  My favourite’s the little penguin!

Stitch MarkersThis super cute, quickie project satisfied my urge somewhat to get some crafting in despite the craziness that came at the end of October.  My schedule is clearing so I’ll be back to “real” crafting soon.

Off to go make my chili and cornbread!  Yummzers!!!  That’s after I go try to find some cute gingerbread men charms!  LOLOL!  😛
