Halloween bookmarks inside 🧶🎃


Hello!

How are you? Crafting much?

We’ve had a bit of sweater weather recently, so I’m doing great! I also have a long car ride later this week — you know what that means! 🧶🧶🧶 I don’t even know what project to bring! It’s glorious!

Pretty soon, I’m going to start doing some tech editing for newer knit designers. So, if you’ve been sitting on your first knitting pattern because you’re afraid to send it out into the world, reply and let me know where you’re at.

All the nerdy details involved in perfecting a pattern get me excited! I can’t wait to help new designers publish patterns that are freakishly organized and clear. Their fans will leave reviews like “I can’t believe this is their first pattern! It’s perfectly written and easy to follow!” 🤣🤪 I’m about to use my knit-picky attention to detail as a super power! 💪🏻 You could say I’m a little excited about it. I’ll keep you posted.

Guess what else? I made you something!

Free Download!

In months that have 5 Mondays, I always make you some fun thing to download (starting now! 🤣🤪). This time it’s a set of knitting-themed Halloween bookmarks to print! You can download it here 👉🏻 Halloween knit bookmarks.pdf

I hope you think they’re cute! You should probably print some and cut them out in case you get a rush of knitters trick-or-treating on Halloween! 🤣

3 cool things:

I started my skeleton collection! I definitely need to get more next year! Can you see 2 on the house and one in the yard?

All my hand knit socks are ready for the season! I knit all of them in one year, probably 12-15 years ago. As long as I can make them last, I have no intention of knitting more! 🤣🤣🤣

Look how cute this turned out! I didn’t even get the wax out after the candle was done! 🤪 I just added dirt, rocks, and chicks & hens! I hope they survive!

That’s all I have for you this week! Stay tuned next week for more fun! If you need me before then, just hit reply and let me know what’s on your mind. In the meantime, stay crafty!

P.S. The Handmade Holiday Gift Workshop email series is really shaping up! You can expect a new email with patterns and other gifty things every Friday for the rest of the year. It looks even better than I had hoped it would! You’re going to love it!

Hello! How has your week been? My week has been... how should I say it... eventful. 😬 To start with, Bruno had a botfly under his skin! It was disgusting and so sad. And it took some time for the vet to figure out what it was, so lots of cone time. I don't know if you can tell from photos, but Bruno has the neck of a giraffe. We tried a cone that was tiny enough to fit around his neck and he could reach right around it. Then we tried combining a stuffed donut with the little cone. No luck....

Hey there! How are you!?! I’m feeling invigorated this week! I took last week off for a staycation. After a long, lazy summer, I had some housekeeping to do. Fall is my favorite season, and September through December are my busiest/funnest months of the year. I like to head into this time prepared, so I can really enjoy it. Chris and I spent the week cleaning, hanging art, setting up the bones of my art studio, and getting out Halloween decorations. And we topped it off with a concert! We saw...

Hello! Friday again! How was your week? I have one more ear to put on my Cat Hat! Wait ‘til you see what I did. 🫣 When I took it out to finally finish, there were 3 sizes of needles in the project bag. And I, of all people, didn’t have a project sheet in there with the details! But I did remember taking a picture to show you my progress previously. So I got out the picture and all the needles in my project bag, and compared them! It actually worked!!! So then I started picking up the stitches...
