Reveling in Ravelry

Well seems like since Pinterest has been all the craze lately, I haven't really shown anything from my Ravelry queue. Well, here is a look inside.

Snuggly Wuggly Booties: I love these. But I would make a few minor adjustments and turn these into some loafers.

Butterfly Hat Pattern: I am absolutely loving this pattern. It isn't your run of the mill beanie. I am definitely going to be trying this at some point!

Reveling in Ravelry- Photo Props

Seems like knit photo props have been all the craze lately. Every one wants them and obviously people will knit to meet demand. After looking around on Ravelry, here are some of my picks. 

 

Little Dinosaur Hat

Chili Pepper Cocoon

Diaper Cover

There are plenty of amazing things are out there to help inspire you. If you just want to replicate these, the patterns are available online. 

Reveling in Ravelry- Fedoras

Well I didn't used to like these. I believe strong dislike would probably be a better term. They are kind of growing on me. Slowly growing anyways. So of course I always am thinking, I need to make one.

So I hopped on Ravelry. I found a few ones I liked and even one that was made of straw and one with a pattern in Japanese.

Take a look at the ones that made the cut:

Novi Hat: This one, as far as coloring, looks to me most like what I picture when I hear the word fedora. I also really do like the brim.

Straw Fedora: I must say, I think this one is my favorite. I love the idea of paper yarn because it looks so unique!

Crochet Fedora: I love the yarn used in this hat! I definitely would change the red, probably to green.

There really aren't too many great patterns for a fedora, much less free ones. This may be something in which I need to invest. We shall see...

Reveling in Ravelry- Gather 'Round the Campfire

Welcome to my online bonfire! Who doesn't love to sit around a fire on a cool summer's night!

Check out some of the great things you can knit or crochet to go along with it!

Campy and the Mallows: Well to start this party, we definitely need to start with a fire. This one comes with a bonus of mallows on a stick. Sadly, one of them is looking a little burnt.

Hot Dog: Perfect dinner for those looking for something over a fire. Although I must say I prefer some ketchup on top of mine...

Amigurumi S'more: What is a better treat while gathering around the fire? I love this little guy!

Find them on Ravelry:

Reveling in Ravelry- Fourth of July

I know, it's so cliche, but it was bound to happen. Right? Well hopefully everyone will find plenty of time to whip up a project or two while you're out about about this weekend. Here are some fabulous ones to incorporate into your party this year!

4th of July Toilet Paper Topper: Having people over? Keep extra toilet paper available in your bathroom without simply having it sitting out. Plus it stays with the theme!

Checkerboard Picnic Blanket: If you're going to see some fireworks then check this out! This project will do double duty! Keep the kids occupied while your waiting for the fireworks to start and provide them with something to sit on. Who doesn't like to kill two birds with one stone?

4th of July Beach Bag: Spend the day at the beach with your new beach bag. This things will hold a ton. No matter where you end up on Independence Day, you will have a great bag to lug around.

Beverage Can Holder: Perfect holder for your drink of choice this weekend. Although, I must say, I agree with the picture. Coke is definitely the best choice!

Hope everyone has a safe, wonderful, RELAXING holiday weekend! I know I plan on it!

Reveling in Ravelry- Beach Animals

I decided I was going to start a weekly series of different Ravelry patterns I come across and love. I am going to try and keep within a theme each week and if you have a pattern that goes with the theme feel free to comment!!

This weeks theme is beach animals. I am so ready for summer and the official calendar start of summer was this week. So I figured we should give a nod to the start of summer.

Duuuuude the Sea Turtle- So cute and I have recently been loving little animals that are so quick to knit!

Little Lobster- I first came across this adorable little lobster while browsing but the real gem was discovered when I actually looked at the full picture instead of the thumbnail- the mermaid. I mean what gets more summery and beachy than that!! So here is a pdf of both patterns. Little Lobster and Baby Mermaid.

Fishing Game- How many of you ever played the magnetic fish game with the little fishing poles when you were younger? Because I certainly did all the time!!! This is a highly portable version of this game and the water even turns into a carrying case for this game!! This would be a perfect game to bring to the beach for the kiddies!!

Jellyfish- Speaking of games, if you're Dory from finding Nemo, we can bounce on top of the jellyfish. I love this little guy and I think he would look super cute in many different colors. I just love how the little spirals come down as the tentacles!

Throughout the post I linked directly to the blog posts so you could quickly check out the details of the projects.

Now here you can share your work on Raverly
