True Blue Me & You: I'll Try Not to Waste Our Time

DIY Free Pattern for Burly Spun Grey Owl Cowl. Done on 10mm/or size 15 needles (yeah! Should go super fast). A good conversion chart for needle sizes and yarn weight is here. Free pattern from Loopknitlounge here. *I only knit what I can’t buy or afford to buy. I guess this applies to everything I craft.

Pattern for Marte, a Crocodile Stitch Hood. $5 pattern from the Etsy Store of bonitapatterns here. She has more patterns at her store. I don’t crochet, only knit. I must learn. This is so pretty.

Free Pattern Missoni Inspired Wrap. Free Pattern on the wonderful site 1FunkyKnitwit here. You pick four different yarn colors, hold them all together and knit. This I am definitely knitting, but maybe one in a brown, black, white and teal combination I saw on one of 1Funkyknitwit’s Missoni inspiration pages.

Etsy: The Silmarwen Súrion Hooded Cropped Mozzetta Pattern. Find the pattern here for $5. From the Jane Victoria Etsy Store (ignore scary model).

A beautiful, very “Morgana,” Celtic-styled hooded mozzetta pattern is all in one piece and has a high ribbon-laced turtle-neck collar and a generous hood that sweeps the shoulders. It stays up on its own but for windy days you can use a hairpin to secure it without losing the silhouette.

Another confession: I have sewn, knitted, done marbling, beaded, made altered art, collaged, photoshopped for fun and my job, quilted (sewing, I know), made jewelry and on and on… but I do not crochet. I post a lot of crochet because I wish I did (and if my friend who owns a yarn store was to read this…). I am extremely choosey about what I knit because I am choosey about what I do with my time. I would knit this.

Also, because I have done so many crafts (thank you 4-H for starting me down this road) I only pick the ones I think all of you can do at almost any skill level (except for knitting and crochet!).
