Portable knitting projects don’t have to be boring! Knitwear designer and author of Yarnplay Lisa Shobhana Mason shares a few colorful and unique projects that are small in scale. She demonstrates a simple broken ribbed scarf and matching hat with a band in the same stitch pattern. She then shares her pattern for a bright seed stitch clutch purse with a stockinette panel for buttons.
Wrist wear is what it is all about today. Host Jennifer Perkins cooks things up by melting vinyl records to make them into a wrist cuff. Host Vickie Howell introduces us to leatherworker Mark Stowe, who has a rockin’ take on the all-purpose leather cuff. Host Jen Arntson incorporates a traditional leatherworking style, called trapunto, on vinyl to create a wrist strap bag.
The Stylelicious ladies create fashions out of dollar store finds. Host Vickie Howell creates a corset top out of washcloths. Host Karly Hand makes a skirt out of an umbrella, and Host Jennifer Perkins makes a purse out of a photo album and toy snakes.
Stylelicious takes things personal as we add individuality to your wardrobe. Host Vickie Howell revamps a vintage tie by adding a peek-a-boo iron-on transfer. Host Hope Perkins jazzes up old jeans with rubber stamps and fabric paint. Anne Marie Beard invites us to a purse party, where party-goers order purses to their own personal specifications.
Sorry about the quick cut-and-paste post without photos. Yesterday was a rough day–trying to recuperate.
Introducing: Our WORST sellers! 👎🏼 Get 50% off the things that made you go, “meh”. To see all of things, and maybe pick up something that you kinda liked, but didn’t FULL price like at YarnYAY.com (link in @vickiehowell bio.)...
It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a year since Vickie’s Wednesday’s Snood pattern came out. We’re excited, though, to be able to revisit it with our new kits! Snap to it! (Link in bio, or go to YarnYAY.com)...
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Suzanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
