Crochet Ornaments

December 04, 2024

I saw a picture of a granny square ornament a few weeks back and thought - I can do that! I took some extra yarn to a show and tried it. The individual pics are wip before they were fully finished. It's just two small granny squares sewn together and pulled tight at the top. Crochet Ornaments

Kiln Results 11/29 & Howard County Holiday Mart this weekend

December 02, 2024

This kiln is a mismatch of things as I am trying to get things ready for shows. I generally like to glaze all things in the same color at the same time, but having the right pieces for shows seemed more prudent so I'vebeen doing things in batches. This has the last of the camping things I made a while ago and the first of the lavender I made after I scoured the studio plus a few things in between. Home stretch for the holidays now.

Kiln Sneak Peak 11/29

November 29, 2024

This has the last of the hanging Christmas ornaments. The Sanbao tree thingy is still perfect and awesome. Definitely worth the investment (and it wasn't even that much anyway!). I also made myself a little star tree (bottom left) to fire some of the stars for my trees. Sometimes I can't fire them on the trees because I don't have the headspace. I have fired them on stilts, but then they have marks. It occurred to me to make a small little stand and it worked perfectly. Kiln Sneak Peak 11/29

Ziggy Stardust Party Sweater and Small Business Saturday on the Avenue

November 27, 2024

This Saturday is Small Business Saturday and I will be with 100+ other small business owners on the Avenue in White Marsh. Please come out and see us if you're local! It's a chance to get out and walk off some of that turkey while finding some great holiday gifts. I designed and made this sweater over two shows. It's actually pretty similar to the Birthday Sweater I made a few years ago. Since I was designing and making at a show, I didn't write anything down so no pattern. This is Miss Babs Big Silk Yarn which is a worsted weight yarn. One skein of Ziggy Stardust and 2 of Moss. Ziggy Stardust Party Sweater


All of the stitches in the moss is the lemon peal stitch - one single crochet followed by a double crochet. In the alternating rows you are double crocheting in the single crochet and single crocheting in the double crochet. The Ziggy Stardust is mostly half double crochets. The exception is the edging on the collar and pockets which is 4 half double crochet in each stitch.

Ziggy Stardust Party Sweater


Big Silk is one of my favorite Miss Babs yarn for winter. It's super soft and its really warm at the same time.

I made the sleeves slightly shorter because my experience they will stretch a bit with wear.
