Seed Stitch and Bow-ties

Cus bow-ties are cool...    :)

On my favorite Doctor, and cute fluffy scarfs!

I grabbed some great chunky yarn, doubled it up, and used my big US 35 knitting needles to craft a warm seed stitch scarf with crocheted bows on one side.

Crochet Hook J

Make a magic ring.
Ch 5, 3 tr in ring, ch 5, sl st in ring, ch 5, 3tr in ring, ch5, sl st in ring.

Cut yarn leaving a tail at least a few inches long, create the center of the bow by wrapping the two ends under and then back over the bow a few times.

Make 3 and sew them onto scarf in a row. Weave in ends on the bows so they cannot be seen.

Poufs from Pickles!

I recently bought a pair of the largest knitting needles I could find (size 35) and knitted up my own pouf! Those fun sized ottomans that are in all those fancy decor photos; I too felt I had to have one, but was not going to spend $$$ on a fancy bean bag. I know there are many patterns out there, but I went with the one from Pickles! Its easy and fast, and I love the blog name :)

My Big Knitting Needles!

My Pouf!

The more you fill it, the bigger it gets! I could probably fill mine a little bit more; I think this is a nice size and it is a good height for resting my feet on while I make more lovely poufs and scarves with my new big knitting needles. Try out one for yourself here.

The Knot Knitted Headband

The problem with living in Las Vegas is that it never really gets that cold here. So all my knits go unused for most of the year. However, I still love to crochet and knit things like ear warmers, headbands, gloves, and hats.


My latest creation, the Knot Knitted Headband, is a great ear warmer with a nice medallion for a button. It was a wonderful quick crochet piece found on Cottonfables by Ruby Faye.

I used just a few less chains at the beginning to make a snugger fit for 20/21" head.

I think it turned out beautifully! This is a project I will make again in the future in many different colors. I also think I nice border would be a fun way to jazz it up and make it a little more unique.
