Hello all! Thanks for stopping by to check out my new blog. I am a young mother and wife who nannies 3 preschoolers during the week. I also DJ occasionally in night clubs and bars, but my true passion is creating things with my hands. SO the title pretty much says it all...I'm going to be posting my favorite links to craft projects and pictures of my own projects. So have fun, leave comments, learn something new, and enjoy!
You can also follow me on Twitter--I often post pics as I create, and also just other tidbits that are not craft related. I love news, music, movies, and culture. Being a good parent and wife is really important to me, but I also value being laid back and open minded. Don't stand anywhere in particular on a political or religious scale, but I do consider myself fiscally conservative, socially liberal, and take my mom and son to bible curch every Sunday. My family and friends are more important to me than anything!
So that's a little bit about me. I hope you enjoy my blog!

Fifteen Awesome Patterns for Knitting Fingerless Gloves & Wristwarmers
Since I finally learned how to knit this year, I have been looking for some fun, functional projects I can try out. Wristwarmers (or fingerless gloves) are stylish and cute, so I thought I would start there. I found these awesome patterns come from TipNut.com:
These first ones here are Divani Armwarmers from NaturallyCaron.com. It is definitely an intermediate pattern using several different stitches, but i just love how the pattern comes out. Caron makes some really great and affordable yarn, and has tons of free patterns on their site.
Next are these cabled fingerless gloves. I think they are adorable. Cabling is not easy, and I reccomend practicing first. But once you get it down, you can make some really good looking, professional projects.
Here is a link to the PDF file for these, from TheGivingFlower.de . Looks like she has several patterns for several projects here, definitely check it out...
I really think this shell pattern is incredible. This i would say is another intermediate pattern from Knitty.com called Spyrogyra Wrist Warmers. If you can get this pattern down, I think it would look really beautiful on an afghan or baby blanket. I especially love the use of multicolored thread here.
Finally here is an easy, cool pattern from YSolda.com. These simple Garter Stitch Mitts are cute and can be made longer or shorter to fit your personal preferences.
These are just my personal favorites, the rest you can find here...
Be sure and stay tuned, I am in the process of making my own wristwarmers to show off at a DJ gig I have on Valentines Day this year. When they are finished, I will post a how-to. I plan on making them really simple, so even a novice can do them. I plan on incorporating some eyelash yarn to make them even more fun! Happy Knitting folks, send me links and pictures if you try any of these out and I will post them :)
