Unfortunately this adorable little s'mores tray will not ready to be in Thurmont, MD at Colorfest with me this weekend. I will have a ton of other things though, including some seconds at marked down prices. I am in the American Legion lot just behind the building and I hope that you'll come out and see me and all the other amazing artists.

Made a few tiny snowmen.

I was playing around with my Mugg Pluggs and made a small lamp and some cups.

This first one is the 3T upside down. I had the idea after I made the same thing right side up.


This is the 3T right side up. This is the first time I've made it with all 6 inches and it feels huge (hence the lamp).




I also made a couple of cups with the 214T. I think these will go well with my pitcher.

I was inspired by Dault Pottery's mug a while back. I decided to try to make my own.

It's been so long since I've been able to spend time making. I spent the entire weekend making things. First up - MUGS! I made a batch of crab and blank mugs.


I was having counting problems and made more than I meant to so I turned the last 4 into mushroom mugs.

I started this cardigan shortly after the Sheep and Wool, but only had 2 skeins of yarn. I needed 3 to complete it and it was out of stock. Luckily Kim Dyes Yarn has a notify me button and it came back in stock after only a month or so. This is on her Cronut Sport yarn which is a Superwash Marino in the Forget Me Not colorway. I love how soft and silky it is.


This cardigan uses the Hydrangea stitch pattern.

Stitches:
ch - chain
sk st - skip stitch sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
Special stich - 4 dc into the same stitch, on the 4th dc don't finish and leave 2 loops on the hook

chain in multuples of 16 + 9
Row 1: ch 3, dc into the 4th chain from the hook, dc into the same stitch, dc into the same stitch but don't finish and leave 2 loops on the hook, sk 7 stitches, 4 dc into the same stitch,* ch 4, sk 3 st, sc, ch 4, sk 3 st, special stitch (4 dc into the same stitch, on the 4th dc don't finish and leave 2 loops on the hook), sk 7 stitches, 4 dc into the same stitch. Repeat from * until the end, ending with a dc.
Row 2: ch 3, Special stitch (the ch 3 counts as the first dc), 4 dc into the 4th dc from the previous row, * ch 5, sc in the sc, ch 5, special stitch into the first dc from the previous row, 4 dc into the last dc from the previous row. Repeat from * across ending on a dc.
Row 3: ch 3, Special stitch (the ch 3 counts as the first dc), 4 dc into the 4th dc from the previous row, * ch 6, sc in the sc, ch 6, special stitch into the first dc from the previous row, 4 dc into the last dc from the previous row. Repeat from * across ending on a dc.

Row 4: ch 7, sc into the connecting dc, ch 4, Special stitch (the ch 3 counts as the first dc), 4 dc into the 4th dc from the previous row, * ch 4, sc in the sc, ch 4, special stitch into the last (opposite of what you did before) dc from the previous row, 4 dc into the first (opposite of what you did before) dc from the previous row. Repeat from * across ending with a dc.
Row 5: ch 8, sc into the sc, ch 5, Special stitch, 4 dc into the 4th dc from the previous row, * ch 5, sc in the sc, ch 5, special stitch into the first dc from the previous row, 4 dc into the last dc from the previous row. Repeat from * across ending with a dc.
Row 6: ch 9, sc into the sc, ch 6, Special stitch, 4 dc into the 4th dc from the previous row, * ch 6, sc in the sc, ch 6, special stitch into the first dc from the previous row, 4 dc into the last dc from the previous row. Repeat from * across ending with a dc.


The hardest thing about this is the transition from row 3 to row 4. You're basically reversing the order of the clusters of dc and the chains. I hope this makes some sense, it looks really cool once its done.
