For whatever reason, I have more than a handful of people following this blog. I feel a little guilty because I can’t follow back since this is a secondary blog on my main Tumblr account. Because of this, I’ve made a new account so I can follow all of you lovelies back. It can be found here: http://littlepatchofgreen.tumblr.com/
I will leave this blog here, but from now on, all my...

Awesome. I’ve been sick the past 3-4 days, so my knitting has fallen by the wayside, but this will help perk me back up. :3

coffee cozy DIY
thefinalmovement:
Today I went to my first ever Beads and Craft meeting. To be completely honest, this craft was the reason I joined the club! You can do drop in as well, but I joined since it’s my last year there and it’ll act as my motivation to go since I already paid the membership. ;)
So here is how I made it.
First you make the stencils. It’s easy. Keep your next Starbucks sleeve and...

So proud,...

Thank you to everyone so far, everyone who is following and everyone who can help spread the word! :D
s1k1s1k1 asked: Beautiful colors! As for the kinks, you can soak your circulars in hot water to get the kinks out. Unless they're wood. Then soak just the connectors *really carefully.* :) You can also hang them up at the mid-point so the kinks will gradually fall out, but this will obviously not work if you're using them. Or if you have cats that like to bite through metal. :)
Anonymous asked: One way to get the bend out of your circular needles is to hold them over boiling water. The steam helps relax the cord! I suppose if you're in a hurry you could straighten the cord, protect it with a cloth, then run a quick iron over 'em, but I haven't tried that yet so I don't know how it'd go :) Best of luck with your cowl!
