A Chill in the Air

I love the fall. I know it's not technically fall yet, but the weather recently has been fall like. And when the weather starts to get chillier, it means time to put on those knit hats and scarves! It also marks the beginning of when I start participating in craft fairs. The first craft marketplace that I will be participating in this year will be on October 4 at Mill No. 5. I'm really excited to sell things to people in person again, especially since I have learned a lot since last year and have new displays and products. I also just received my Square card reader, and now I can accept credit cards!

My latest knit project was a pair of striped legwarmers with some leftover sock yarn. I really like the color combination. They also feel really soft and light, not too bulky but will definitely provide some warmth (and style). I plan to post the pattern for these later, so stay tuned!

Etsy listing for these legwarmers can be found here.

Usually when I learn a new technique or craft I become obsessed with it for a time. My new obsession has been using my french knitting device to make beaded bracelets. There are so many different styles you can do with these, I have been making a whole bunch in different colors and styles.

Recycling

I have had a fun time today making t-shirt yarn from one of my old t-shirts. I used this tutorial which was really easy to follow:

This was my result:

I decided to make a finger knit statement necklace with the yarn I just made. Here is the result:

If you also want to learn how to finger knit, this tutorial is really good:

I will definitely be using more of my old shirts to make more yarn, there are so many projects you can do, I have already found a bunch on Pinterest that I want to try!
