My latest design is a spin on a tooth fairy pillow. I decided to take it literally and created a tooth with wings. This item is now available for purchase in my shop. On the back there is a pocket for the all important tooth/money exchange. It’s large enough to slip in a folded up dollar for more valuable wisdom […]
My newest design is a cat named Tunicam Cattus (Latin for Tunic Cat). It’s made from upcycled sweaters. I’m selling both finished cat plushies and DIY kits for you to make your own. Both finished cats and kits use upcycled sweaters, yarn and buttons. You can buy both at Salty Teacup in Portland.
There’s a new gang of Twilly23 monsters on the prowl. These items are now available in my shop. I’ve been playing with yarn weight to increase the size. This monster is several inches taller than my original size. Embellishments are my favorite part of the process. Little details can create such unique personalities. Felt eyes are fun but I’m really […]
I’ve created a new monster pattern! This time it’s a sewing pattern kit that comes with instructions and all the materials you need to make your own monster. The precut fabric is made from up-cycled sweaters. The felt, yarn, ribbon and buttons are all up-cycled as well. I’ve chosen the name of this kit to reflect these materials being reused […]
My knitting pattern Primum Monstrum (Latin for First Monster) is now available for purchase! You can buy the pattern on Ravelry here. Don’t have a Ravelry account? No worries, it will be listed on Etsy as well. This post will be updated when that listing is live.
Monsters make great house guests and even better gifts. They are fun to knit and are very customizable. Make yours unique by adding three arms or four legs. Special buttons can give your creatures distinctive facial expressions. Ribbons or lace give them unique personalities.
Want to make a special present for that beloved furball in your life? While this cat bed won’t guarantee your cat will stop napping on your computer (mine hasn’t) it will give your cat a special place to sleep all her own.
Want to knit like a Viking? Nalebinding, also called Nalbinding or Viking knitting, is a fiber technique that predates both knitting and crochet. The Vikings also used nalebinding to create textiles and now you can too.
Invited to a party and need a gift? A crochet gift bowl is a quick project that leaves an impression. Make one in a pastel color and fill it with baby socks and pacifiers for a baby shower. Make one in a cotton yarn and fill with washcloths, fancy soap and hand lotion for a housewarming party.
