This is based on the Let it Bee Wrap from Heart, Hook, Home. However, instead of making a wrap I made a cute little cover up.


I wish I remembered what this yarn was. I've had it for years just staring at me. All I remember is that it was made with real silver in it. I had a couple of balls in my stash just laying there for a while and I decided to just figure something out. This is probably closest to a sport weight yarn and I used a 4.5 mm hook. You could easily make this with any yarn and just adjust the width and length to what you want it.

I still cast on 68 like the pattern said. I had 5 balls of the green and 4 of the silver. I did as many rows as I could with what I had off 2 balls of the green then switched to the silver. At the end with the last ball I was able to add 2 rows to each size and that still left me enough to sew it together. I ended up being able to 5 rows of green then 5 of silver ending with 2 rows of green. Make 2 identical panels. Again the exact length can vary based on your taste.




Once you have the two panels - sew it up. I wanted the neck to be fairly loose so I left a 13 inch neck and I left 7 inches for each of the sleeves. Unlike my usual patterns I didn't leave any slack on the side. This is because I wanted to finish it with a row of sc all the way around the bottom. I really like the way this turned out considering I started with no real plan :)

Some of my choices in here didn't quite pay off. I'm not sure that I'll have time to make more before the show at MacKenzie Childs at the end of the month so I'll have to go with what I've got because a couple of others turned out amazing.

I'm not sure what's happening with the lily pad bow. It's growning on me though. It still feels smooth.

I'm loving the mushrooms. The new glazes I'm using really pop on those.

Who wants a mug with the forbidden leaf?

These came out amazing. This is the first time I've done the texture with non orange pumpkiny colors and the witch hat it soooo awesome. I'm also loving the black and white pumpkins. I'm hoping others love these as much as I do. I detailed the whole process for these last year in this post. Note: these are all fired to cone 06 and not my usual hot cone 5. They aren't vitrified, but since they aren't for food it's not an issue.

This is a light kiln opening since it only has a handful of texture pieces, but how pretty. Normally I fire to cone 5, but these are to 06. Still using bmix clay for these, but since they don't need to be food safe it's not an issue. See this post from last year on the process.
