Fairy and Halloween Wreath

Yes, I have been crocheting. Here's what I've made.

An amigurumi Halloween wreath! It has a ghost, spider, spider web, candy corn, bat, and a witch!

A little crocheted fairy! This is basically my angel pattern, but I never wrote it down. So now it is a fairy pattern. :]
And... I've made a scarf with pockets, and I've spun a couple more Phat Fiber samples.
I'll take pictures of them for my next post.

Oh my poor nelected blog.

I will write a nice, long post to soothe you. I have an idea for a weekly (or bi-weekly) post. It will be called Can You Spin It? I think it will be fun. I need to interview someone for the "weekly" interview on Saturday. Now for some pictures...

I spun some of the samples from July, then plied them. Then I realized I love plying. :]

Speaking of samples, here are my yarn samples for the September Phat Fiber Box. The theme is Legends, Folklore, and Fairy tales. The colorways are called: Cinderella's Blush and Rosa: The woodland fairy.

I started a scarf... and I made another beret! Seriously, I am addicted to this pattern.

Before I go, I wanted to mention a really cute etsy shop I found recently. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5602388 Seriously adorable!
Oh, and if you have a etsy shop, I want to interview you! Leave a comment with a link to your etsy.

Another beret + yarn + cupcake!

I went yarn shopping and found these deals! The two skeins on top were 5o cents, the bottom skein a dollar.

These were not a deal... $9 bucks a skein! But it's 100% wool, so soft and cozy. I'm planning on dyeing it.

These were $3, and I bought them as an alternative to Wool Ease Thick n' Quick. This stuff is softer and cheaper!

This yarn is so squishy! Love it. And it was a steal at a dollar a skein!

I made a cupcake! My business is ALMOST 1 year old!

I made another beret... This pattern is so cute and fast! <3

Beach Crafting...

Here's some of the stuff I made while at the beach...

I made a cabled beret using the pattern "Speedy Cable Beret."Cute, right? :] I cabled without a cable needle! It made it alot quicker and easier! I highly recommend learning that technique.

So I added eyes and swirls to my cotton candy, and I made him a mama! I think that ups the cuteness by about 75% don't you? ;] They are available on etsy, and the pattern is available on ravelry!

I spun some yarn on my wheel (LOVE!) Left to right, tussah silk from strikemyfancy.etsy.com (amazing stuff!), mohair/bamboo from My Fair Yarn (drafts like a dream!), and milk fiber from naturalobsessionsfiber.com (did you hear me? MILK FIBER! fantastic).

Crafting at the beach...

I'm at the beach for the week, crafting away! :]
Update when I get back home...
