Reclaimed silk and wool yarn purse

I made this small purse (9 x9 inches) for my 14-year-old. I am in love with this reclaimed silk and wool yarn from http://www.darngoodyarn.com/ which I bought at my new favourite store http://sochickadelic.com/ Both Darn Good Yarn and Chickadelic Salvage and Design can also be found on facebook. I also picked up some Darn Good Yarn sari silk ribbon yarn that I am currently playing with,

Groovy Backpack

My 16-year-old daughter was bugging me for ages to crochet a backpack for her. I used this pattern as a basis and modified it a little http://blog.susannawinter.net/backpack. Very happy with the results and she loves it.

A fox hat made by request now on it's way across the pond to the UK.

More dryer balls.

I've been really pleased with the results using these wool dryer balls with my laundry. I've also had positive feedback from some people who have bought them from me. Here are some recently made dryer balls. Two sets are wool yarn and the others are wool roving (which felts very well) and yarn.

I sell the dryer balls for $15 (CAD) for a set of three.

Cuff bracelet

A black cuff bracelet with button closure that I whipped up yesterday. I made up the pattern and used Bernat Sequin yarn.

Some other hats I've made

Just some pics of a few other hats I've made. Some are still available for sale.

The owl hats were designed through a few different patterns but heavily inspired by the newborn owl hat pattern at Repeat Crafter Me .

So after making loads of owl hats and a unicorn (yes a unicorn) hat for my 16-year-old. My 14-year-old requested a tiger.


Here's the unicorn ...
