Beach Crafting...

Here's some of the stuff I made while at the beach...
Beret TopBeretCloseup Beret
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.
Mama Cotton and Baby Candy- Cotton Candy Amigurumi
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!
Handspun Yarn
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).

  1. The beret looks really nice. I like to color too, it's one of my favorites. I don't know why it appeals to me so much. It just does. Anyway. The cotton candies looks really cute now when they have eyes.
