I just completed my first project from More Knitting in the Sun: 32 Patterns to Knit for Kids… a summer weight shrug for Fairy-girl, my little ballerina. It turned out adorable… but a bit big (sarcasm here). Huge is more like it. I really should have paid more attention to the finished chest sizes rather …
So awhile ago I made a Twirl and Tie hat for my little niece… while we were eagerly awaiting her arrival. The hat seems to be getting a lot of use and I heard through the grape vine… oh it would be so nice to have a pair of thumb-less mitts that matched. Hint, hint… …
I’m a doodler. If I’m not actually crafting something, I usually have paper in front of me and I’m sketching and doodling away. Last night my weekend was officially over, when our weekend house guests left, leaving me alone for the first time in days. Sitting at my desk I just started drawing some little …
The knit cross stitch is a pattern that I have been wanting to try for awhile now. I’ve seen it called both a Knit Cross Stitch or a Knit Basket Weave. It has a fun woven look to it and makes for a dense knit fabric. The first time I read a pattern with this …
Use super bulky yarn to knit your own pointed pixie hat. I created this Gnome Knitting Pattern to use some of my very first, homespun yarn. The girls love their new knit hats. Yes, as some of you have asked. I did get a spinning wheel for my birthday. An early gift from my hubby …
Fairy’s request this year for Halloween was to be Little Red Riding Hood. Mainly she wanted this cape! I was a bit worried when I cast on a couple weeks ago whether or not it would be done on time. We have our first Halloween festivities next weekend. Although I missed my personal goal of being …
This is a project that started this summer when I wanted to make my SIL a cute knit hat for their due-soon baby. I made hers, which turned out adorable, and of course Pixie wanted one. So I sized up the pattern and made a matching one for her in the same cotton ease yarn. Well …
We are calling this the Pirate Shirt Tutorial UN-PATTERN. I totally winged this pattern and don’t have the normal step-by-step photos you have come to love about WeeFolkArt (although there are still a good handful). There was a lot of just fudging it that went on and fortunately Pirate Shirts are very forgiving that way. …
Follow along as we make tie dye t-shirts. This is a great outdoor, summer activity. This is a project I have wanted to do with the kids for awhile now… a great summer project (to keep the mess outside). My nephew’s birthday was last week and we will be seeing his family for the first …
Here is the pattern for an Eight Panel Princess Skirt Sewing Pattern (very twirly) that takes the basic elastic gathered skirt and adds a little “flirt” to it! There are 8 panels that flair out at the bottom. You may choose to use 1, 2, 4 or even 8 different fabrics. For that reason we cannot give specific fabric requirements. Also, …
This is a basic pattern for a simple elastic gathered waist for young girls. This can be made by sewing up the seam of 45” wide fabric, turning down a waistband and hemming. The same concept can be used for bigger girls and even moms. The secret is the width of the skirt should be …
The Traveling Gnome Pouch Pattern begins with the Peg Gnome Sleeping Bag. After I made the gnome sleeping bags I called Michelle and was telling her about them. I mentioned that Pixie was going to love them since she loves to wrap little blankies around the gnomes and take them walking. Michelle suggested turning one …
