You are currently browsing the category archive for the ‘crafts’ category.
You can google each of these or find them on iTunes. (Linking each individually would take more time than I am willing to take, and a lot of them automatically reroute to iTunes anyway. ETA–okay, so I decided to link them…but it will take a while to do all of them…) By the way, if you don’t have it, I highly recommend downloading iTunes, as there are gazillions of free things to listen to in their podcast section and their iTunes U is an amazing resource of free learning on the web–I have barely scratched the surface of the iTunes U section, and I will spend some more time exploring that later.

I really want to make a couple of these…one for myself, and one for Hyewon–it’s such a great pattern, and it makes variegated yarn (which i don’t usually like) do amazing things. It’s a popular project on the Internet these days; there’s a knitalong and a Flickr pool. The complete pattern comes from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, but i found the basic stitch on Nona Swatches, and i’ll figure it out from there. Actually i bought some ribbon yarn and started a test swatch, but frogged it because the yarn didn’t feel or hang nice for a scarf. I’ll have to go here to pick out some nice yarn with Hyewon…

i love this mosaic maker tool over at Big Huge Labs. I will be having lots of fun with it, i can tell 🙂
1. bluebird flattie: What a great idea for plush toys…flatties! Bigger ones would be a great pillow idea.
2. granny square: I love these colours together–kind of like Cath Kidston‘s colour combinations. I think i’ll take the colours and make a hexagon blanket (or Babette) for a friend of mine who is expecting…
3. stitches: i *heart* the look of linen…can i get my sewing machine now? no? no. gotta finish playing with my new oven first 🙂
4. Little Dumpling: kikikiki 🙂 i love anthropomorphic food…and if it’s also fuzzy, so much the better!
5. Cajita Jardín: maderadecolores does lots of beautiful painted boxes…inspiring!
6. Bedroom: the colours here are amazing, so dramatic…i have a couple of ideas for Shinjae’s blanket colour scheme, and this is one of them…
7. frayed: from an awesome pool on flickr, textiles from around the world, this one shows the dramatic nature of textiles 🙂
8. Purple daisy clip & 9. Toddler clip: Hmmm…these two get me thinking….felt could be a fun craft medium too….
10. little purse: handsewing…
11. *color is good*: yes, it is!
12. voltaremos dia 21 de julho:…linen and handsewing…
13. still life with market bag: awesome stripes on the bag!
14. “You sleep in the bed of a 1976 Pimp?”: …you do? can i?
15. mybag2: vintage hankies sewn together?
16. Violet Bon Bon Bag:…and more linen…and what a great idea–goody bags for us big kids!
