Double Button Tatted Pendant

I love buttons! I am addicted to those huge assorted button bags at the craft store! Simple buttons make the best base for a delicate tatted border. These beautiful buttons were made by Tennekka.

The pendant is approximately 1 1/2" by 2 1/4" worked in black and set on a silver-tone jump ring. There is no chain included with the pendants. If you would prefer a fabric covered pinback or barrette attatched to this piece instead of a jump ring, just tell me in the message to seller when checking out.

Frogs and Flies Knit Hat

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:58:46 -0500

$15.00
I am a frog fan! I collect frogs of all sorts (no live ones as of yet, but plenty of others). I created this little frog fair isle pattern a few years ago and made the first of these hats.

The hat is knit in the round in one piece and grafted at the top, so there are no seams. At approximately 22" x 8 1/2", it's large enough to fit most adult heads. Fair isle frogs dance along the bottom and fly tassels hang about 11" on either side.

Made with acrylic yarn, this piece is easy to care for and very comfortable and warm. You're sure to get compliments on this unusual little hat!

Twilit Roses Tatted and Crocheted Choker

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:14:58 -0500

$100.00
I admit it, I’m obsessed with Twilight. As I made my A Rose By Any Other Name choker, this choker started to take shape in my head. I wouldn’t say I improved on the original pattern because I love the way it turned out, but I did change it slightly for this version.

I crocheted the roses with red and white DMC tatting thread and joined them with a black tatted border. The choker attaches with red satin ribbon ties. The tatted piece measures approximately 11” and the entire piece measures 42” so it can easily fit any neck comfortably. The ribbons can be cut down to a smaller length if you so choose. I lightly singed the ends of the ribbon to prevent raveling.

In the center, a frame hangs with the words “Be Safe” and a small apple charm dangles beneath red seed beads and a clear Swarovski crystal. With the charms, the center measures approximately 2 3/4.” The rest of the piece measures about 1” across.

What do you do when a new kitten refuses to let you crochet anything because she can’t keep her paws off your yarn? You crochet her a toy!

The new little kitty in our household loved her ruffle ball so much, that I decided to make a few more and offer them here.

This little crocheted ball is approximately 7” around and 3” high. A little jingle bell is crocheted into the top and the entire outside is covered with ruffles to give a nice hold for little paws. The ball is stuffed with fiberfill.

Heart of Gold Tatted Choker

$100.00
“Captain Reynolds, it took me years to cut this piece of territory out of other men's hands, to build this business up from nothing. It's who I am, and it's my home. I'm not going anywhere.”

-Nandi

This choker might be my favorite out of all the ones I’ve made so far. It has a lot of rustic feel to me. I’m sure that Nandi or any of her girls would love to have this piece of frippery.

The lace was tatted directly onto burgundy picot-edged ribbon with the charms joined as I went. The charms have an antiqued gold look and are a beautiful variety of hearts, with the center charm being a key with a heart top and rhinestone set into the bottom.

The gold-plated chain allows for a little extra room in the choker so it can fit between 14” and 17” comfortably and is finished off with an additional heart. The lace and ribbon measures approximately 1 1/4” across, 2 1/8” at the center key charm.

Meebus the Sock Critter

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:53:12 -0400

$8.00
Meebus is the brother or brothers of Reepert, who was recently adopted. I'm still not entirely sure if he is one creature or two stuck together. His eyes seem to be independant of each other and surprised if they cross paths. He doesn't say much, so I haven't been able to ask him/them.

Meebus doesn't seem to have any specific interests, but simply enjoys observing his surroundings. He would love to come and see what new and interesting things you have to show him.

Meebus is completely sewn by hand. He was made from a brand new sock, never touched by human foot. He "stands" (leans is a more appropriate word, I suppose) approximately 9" tall.

Battle Scars Hand Knit Scarf

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:41:10 -0400

$50.00
“Piece of shrapnel tore up that nerve cluster my first tour. Had it moved.”
-Malcolm Reynolds, “Serenity”

In every war and conflict there have always been people on the home front knitting items to send to soldiers on the front. The Browncoat supporters were no different. Some items faired better than others on the battlefield. This scarf sustained a few injuries in its tour of duty.

Battle Scars is a new hand-knit scarf with a “worn-in” look. Knit with drop stitch sections to mimic wear and tear, it’s made from wonderfully soft hand spun llama yarn purchased from fellow etsian wildhare.

It measures approximately 32” long, 6 ½” wide and is hand washable. This amazingly soft scarf is one of a kind and suitable for a man or woman.

Thank you for you interest in this scarf created for the Big Damn Crafters’ February Challenge. If you’re a fan of “Firefly” and “Serenity,” try searching for the teambdc tag to see other goodies created by the Big Damn Crafters!

Heather on the Hill Hand Knit Scarf

$40.00
“The mist of May is in the gloamin', and all the clouds are holdin' still.
So take my hand and let's go roamin' through the heather on the hill.”
-Alan Jay Lerner, “Brigadoon”

My theater-geekness leaks out at last! The colors in this scarf make me think of a misty spring Scottish morning when the heather is in bloom. Or, at least, the way I imagine it in my head. I must admit I’ve only been in Scotland in the late fall.

This scarf was knit with hand spun wool yarn from fellow etsian wildhare and features beautiful lavender, purple, and green tones. It measures approximately 32” long and 4 ½” across. The simple texture stitch shows off the natural texture of the yarn.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to convo me. Thanks for your interest.

This dainty choker was hand tatted in spring green and variegated lavender and green thread. It measures approximately 14” long and 1/2" across. The silver-tone clasp can be fastened almost any place along the choker and there is some natural stretch to the lace, so it’s highly adjustable for the perfect fit.

I fell in love with these little tag word charms the other day. This is the first set of tatted earrings with the second set of them.

The pale green tatted motifs are free-form. The tag charms attatched to these motifs say "hope" Photographed on sample hooks, they will be mounted on sterling silver hooks before being sent to you which may appear slightly different than those in the picture.

The earrings are approximately 1 3/4" in length, not including the hooks.

Tatting is a method of making lace dating back to the time of Elizabeth I. The look is achieved by tying tiny knots to create rings and chains. These were made using the shuttle tatting method.

Snowcaps Crocheted Scarf

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:22:09 -0400

$45.00
I love all sorts of yarn, but I must admit I can't afford to work with all the great yarns out there on a regular basis. Sometimes, I get very lucky and find great yarns in unexpected places. I found an amazing assortment of black yarns all bagged up together at a thrift store a few weeks ago. This black and white was one of my favorites in the bunch and the first one I chose to work with.

The black and white yarn reminds me of a chocolate snack I never seem to eat outside of a movie theater: Snowcaps! This sassy little scarf is looking for a home with someone else who likes this treat!

At approximately 6'6" x 3 1/2", this scarf is much warmer than it appears. The stripes of black fur yarn are double-stranded for added warmth and the white tufts in the main yarn add warmth to that as well. It's long enough to wrap around your neck more than once when you're all bundled up against the cold, or simply throw it over your shoulders for a little style when the temperature is more moderate.

Both yarns are acrylic, making this scarf easy to care for. If you have any questions or requests, feel free to convo me. Thanks for your interest.

All That Jazz Scarf

$45.00
As soon as I sat down with these yarns to start work on this scarf, "All That Jazz" started playing in my head. "Theme from 'New York, New York'" was there, too. It just became a giant Kander and Ebb revue in my head. Since "All That Jazz" was the first to start it off, that's what I chose to name this scarf, or rather, what it named itself.

This scarf is crocheted with a total of three kinds of yarn, two of them are infused with metallic gold threads. The light plays off the metallics and adds shimmer to the black and grey background.

At approximately 6' by 3 1/2", it's long enough to wrap comfortably around your neck more than once to keep out the cold. The thick ribbon yarn and double-stranded worsted/eyelash combination, make this a very warm little scarf. It will keep Jack Frost at bay and add a little flair to your winter wardrobe as well!

Camo Cables Baby Afghan

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:22:09 -0400

$100.00
This snazzy baby afghan was crocheted with super soft, easy to care for acrylic yarn. It measures approximately 42” by 45” and features a mock-braided cable pattern.

My charming model Jack is the son of one of my very good friends. He wanted me to let everyone know that the blanket is soft and fun because it slides around so easily on a hardwood floor ;)

If you would like a similar afghan in another color or size, just head on over to “request custom item” or send me a convo. Thanks for your interest!

One Perfect Rose Recycled Yarn Scarf

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:22:09 -0400

$70.00
A single flow'r he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet -
One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;
'My fragile leaves,' it said, 'his heart enclose.'
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

-Dorothy Parker

This poem from one of my favorite poets shaped the idea for this scarf. Pictures cannot possibly express how soft and luxurious this scarf is. Made from yarn recycled from unloved sweaters, the pink has a touch of angora and the green a touch of soft wool.

It is comprised of 14 granny squares, one of which has a three-dimensional rose motif in the center. It measures approximately 7' 6" x 6" and is long enough to wrap around your neck to keep you extra warm. The gentle flower motif will help you bring a touch of spring to your fall and winter wardrobe.

This piece is hand washable and made with clean recycled yarn and completely one of a kind. If you would like a similar scarf in another color and/or different yarn, convo me. Thank you for your interest.
