Handpainting Yarn

Well, I've been trying my hand at handpainting yarn. I'm learning and getting better every time. Since I love multicolored yarns, this is a ton of fun. After scouring the internet for tutorial, I finally found a good one on MJayknits blog. These are all up for sale on my etsy https://www.thevintagerose1.etsy.com

where has all my time gone?

So i haven't gotten nearly enough done being my child never sleeps! But here it is regardless. The first is an altered frame I made for a swap on alilscrapofheaven. I used iamroses flowers and my beloved Close to My Heart stamps.

 This bracelet is actually an abacus to count rows when you're knitting or crocheting.

 These stitch markers I made for my etsy shop. They are twilight inspired! You throw them on your knitting needles to help you count any number of stitches.

This is something I said I'd never do...crochet! I wanted to learn to make amigurumi dolls and i decided to try to crochet a soap saver. Turns out its so much quicker than knitting them and I actually like the way this looks better. Who knew?

Knits for Etsy

Since I've been out of crafting commission, I've had a little time to work on my knitting. I designed and have been knitting up soap scrubbies for the soap bars I make and sell on Etsy. The scrubbies are fun to knit because they're so easy and only take a couple of hours. I made some for some friends of mine and now I'm in the process of knitting a bunch up in different colors to sell on etsy and at the craft show we have here in Delaware in November. Right now since Brenna is colicky, it's hard for me to lock myself away upstairs in my craft room. She'll only sleep in her swing with the music on and that is downstairs so I find it more comfortable for me to just sit on the couch and get in a little knitting for the short time she naps. She only sleeps about an hour at a time or an hour and a half if I'm lucky so I can't work on anything too involved. Knitting on the couch for right now works for me :)

New Baby Brenna

 I've been gone for a while and that's because I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my baby and she's finally here! Brenna was born on her due date, May 21st at 7:37 am. She's absolutely adorable. She's also very awake and fussy so I don't know when I'm going to be able to resume crafting. Soon I hope!
