<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ear flaps (make two)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Note on
placement: Position the two ear flaps a little behind the halfway mark on each
side (for 64 stitches, I placed them so there were 20 stitches between the
flaps at the front and 12 at the back)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
For each
flap, pick up 16 stitches (pulling loops to the outside/right side of hat)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Knit four
rows (garter stitch)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Decreases:
K2tog, knit to end, K2tog </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Repeat this
for each row until only 4 stitches remain</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
To create
straps:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Knit 14 rows
in this pattern:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Right side:
K4</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Wrong side:
K1, p2, k1</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
To finish
off: ssk (slip stitch decrease) and k2tog (2 st remain), pass yarn through
remaining stitches to bind off, leave some yarn for finishes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Closure: If
desired, you can sew a button onto one flap and then fashion a button loop of
yarn on the other flap.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Contrasting white flap:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Pick up
20-22 stitches along the front of the hat between the two ear flaps</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Knit all
rows for 16 rows (or until flap is as long as the garter edging on the hats)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Bind off
final row</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Flip the
white flap up and tack onto the hat using hat color (or buttons, if preferred)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Finishing (contrasting color): </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
To give the illusion
of a lined hat, add a crocheted edging to the hat:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Slip stitch
at one end of the white flap, then single crochet along the brim all the way
around until you reach the other end of the white flap again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

ear flaps and hat border. It’s a cuter stitch, but makes a little bit of a
ridge at the seam along the hat brim.</div>

I haven't figured out how to capture Wall-e yet, so she got a Little Green Man from Toy Story. I haven't seen any other patterns available, so I made it up and created a pattern free for use for all non-commercial purposes.<br />

The steps were:<br /><br />1. Paint the clothespins black (I pulled the springs out first so they would stay silver and reassembled them once they'd dried a couple of hours)<br />2. Cut out red craft foam as shown for wings (an oval with a small wedge cut out)<br />3. Glue black sequins to foam for spots<br />4. Cut a 2-3in piece of black pipe cleaner and fold it into two antennae<br />5. Glue wings to the clothespin with about 3/4 inch for the face, then glue anttenae and googly eyes into that space<br />6. Once things have set up a bit, glue a magnet to the underside (I use fairly powerful round magnets, make sure what you use will stick to the refrigerator and hold some weight)<br /><br />I think they'd be cuter if I was able to curve the wings downward a bit. You might try to think up some way to do that.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638421710696342544.post-46007167329917296862009-06-28T14:13:00.002-05:002009-06-28T14:21:04.873-05:00Prettier Notebooks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh69JVgYcDlycSHiQ5R1X7vHCqJkogmJn6O5VMTcidGHmioeEh1lXMWvP5S3XfklqTXnr6_gIV36Etz7-Xd-llKrLkuerSH_iYjMtMcbByMf0P7FET0NLABWtUnPDPMxpwAh7yE4aBVw9wy/s1600-h/garden+crafts+001.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh69JVgYcDlycSHiQ5R1X7vHCqJkogmJn6O5VMTcidGHmioeEh1lXMWvP5S3XfklqTXnr6_gIV36Etz7-Xd-llKrLkuerSH_iYjMtMcbByMf0P7FET0NLABWtUnPDPMxpwAh7yE4aBVw9wy/s200/garden+crafts+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352459050518716866" /></a><br />My sister found a stash of old composition notebooks at home, so I decided to make a project of them. I found a couple of similar projects online, though I can't track them down now. Basically, all I did was ...<br />1. Cut the paper to size for front and back (not covering the spine) and glue it down using Modge Podge (one site recommended using binder clip to hold paper together and away from glue)<br />2. Cut ridged ribbon to length (about 1.5-2 inches wide), and seal off ends with clear nail polish<br />3. Glue ribbon along spine trying to get it fairly even on front and back (helps to stand up notebook on long side and lay ribbon along spine and adhere to both sides at once)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638421710696342544.post-86839800324952135802008-11-04T18:02:00.002-06:002008-11-04T18:06:47.596-06:00Elegant and easy ornaments<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://familyfun.go.com/Resources/craftimages/craft_paperdrop.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 185px; height: 145px;" src="http://familyfun.go.com/Resources/craftimages/craft_paperdrop.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I'm still cranking out ornaments for TPP.

So simple,too. The pattern comes from <a href="http://www.bhg.com/decorating/seasonal/spring/paper-bird-ornament">Better Homes and Garden</a>. I couldn't find cute two-sided cardstock, so I glued two contrasting pieces together before cutting out the bird shapes (the wing on one side is the same pattern as the body on the other).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-R9y8UVTA87wMb1wUC_PduPEyYF2yaVUjtYjeRqdFIG0wpSGv0F1Rp3-LPuZ-bZhW97KU1haqnIqm5J8GyyROcX8zh7ukv2zVbaUyb2pzdDag0GbPuDWePfBOVG8SHCgZYXfFxBHCaxqo/s1600-h/DSCN2633.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-R9y8UVTA87wMb1wUC_PduPEyYF2yaVUjtYjeRqdFIG0wpSGv0F1Rp3-LPuZ-bZhW97KU1haqnIqm5J8GyyROcX8zh7ukv2zVbaUyb2pzdDag0GbPuDWePfBOVG8SHCgZYXfFxBHCaxqo/s200/DSCN2633.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257209903912651154" /></a><br />I also adapted the pattern for felt. I used the exact same stencil on felt, then I used a blanket stitch in contrasting thread to sew it up with just a little stuffing inside. Little black sequins for eyes complete the effect. I used a whip stitch to secure the wings, but left them partially free to move at will.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3kqEdJ7TQntPqUi2GdrayZhLMWY3E9J_0AqelsvpPs_-VkftN0PpXai75Ed5_Tg4ZpNCnPEDvXJ2KNKHnvkb1Rb3JtdgvLa0Xp8W6Pn600UhC0QiLh9ck-5WFV8XGiU8l7D8LjRZ4yI8M/s1600-h/DSCN2638.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3kqEdJ7TQntPqUi2GdrayZhLMWY3E9J_0AqelsvpPs_-VkftN0PpXai75Ed5_Tg4ZpNCnPEDvXJ2KNKHnvkb1Rb3JtdgvLa0Xp8W6Pn600UhC0QiLh9ck-5WFV8XGiU8l7D8LjRZ4yI8M/s200/DSCN2638.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257572175590818962" /></a>I really liked making them... so now I have about 40.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638421710696342544.post-34550530585795613722008-10-14T21:42:00.003-05:002008-10-14T21:49:26.410-05:00Who wouldn't let these guys join in their reindeer games?!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJiuPfqRyrl7nzL6c7xIXTQ75gJuI_Akh9i9gUNUSqq6RXtVENe4rBQOB0hUgfjtpkgGo7vtiIHmiHNiMepAMTrDPuWNsl9Qq6SqgRjUV1540EIIl6HrHazDZ0PfHiQDtM8iPU3RVnvJak/s1600-h/DSCN2637.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJiuPfqRyrl7nzL6c7xIXTQ75gJuI_Akh9i9gUNUSqq6RXtVENe4rBQOB0hUgfjtpkgGo7vtiIHmiHNiMepAMTrDPuWNsl9Qq6SqgRjUV1540EIIl6HrHazDZ0PfHiQDtM8iPU3RVnvJak/s200/DSCN2637.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257206990394326594" /></a><br /> I declare these little Rudolphs totally cute and easy to make.

I got the idea for this project from some Etsy items, and I think these might be the right balance-- hip but conservative. I'll take them to a conference next month and see how I like it in action.<br /><br />The final wallet is about 5x3 on the outside; your cards can be up to 2.5 x 3.75 in size (and this obviously scales up and down as you need).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Materials needed:<br />- Cardstock paper or other inspiring materials<br />- laminating machine or contact paper (or use paper that is already slick and sturdy)<br />- sewing machine<br />- matching or contrasting thread<br />- clear-dry glue<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMCFjU39lYcDSHya6bgcHePT7h4xO3ua5E4ghyphenhyphenhMU8XpFHJEwGImoyx4wX3HAMhc7aW1wLcPv1J-zPxdySGOEeUJ63I10mm2EPyNo6hVXz_qnDq_PAPsLjkz_I50nkZdyZBLxxQbV4CEQ7/s1600-h/biz+card+ex+1.bmp"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMCFjU39lYcDSHya6bgcHePT7h4xO3ua5E4ghyphenhyphenhMU8XpFHJEwGImoyx4wX3HAMhc7aW1wLcPv1J-zPxdySGOEeUJ63I10mm2EPyNo6hVXz_qnDq_PAPsLjkz_I50nkZdyZBLxxQbV4CEQ7/s400/biz+card+ex+1.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167997539260281874" /></a><br />Steps:<br />1. Cut card stock into 8.5 x 4.75 inch rectangle.<br />2. Laminate the paper (or use laminated paper to start with). I used contact paper, but any flexible laminating material will do.<br />3. Fold the two short ends of the rectangle down 1 1/4 inches (to make the pockets for the cards.<br />4. Sew the two long sides of the wallet with a 1/4 inch seam (on the paper, not through the laminate). Make sure to face the outside of the wallet up as you stitch-- the needle pushes the paper into little peaks, so you want to hide this on the inside of the wallet.<br />5, Spread just a little glue (that dries clear) over the ends of the thread. The laminate doesn't hide them as well as normal cloth does.<br /><br><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk9CZmqNPQPZoth_GBT_VfEkRT7IsZOmYIMb64jQpEoqwBoM0OExWeO8weQkAPj0ofKlOiEw5eAML57B2KEMvILkXgHaPTS08HGVrGnwqkfAKEVudibW_aKMhVr-yK26PE5fZoG9wrrCtV/s1600-h/2271794538_9a66580abf_o.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk9CZmqNPQPZoth_GBT_VfEkRT7IsZOmYIMb64jQpEoqwBoM0OExWeO8weQkAPj0ofKlOiEw5eAML57B2KEMvILkXgHaPTS08HGVrGnwqkfAKEVudibW_aKMhVr-yK26PE5fZoG9wrrCtV/s320/2271794538_9a66580abf_o.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167996233590223858" /></a><br />Improvements you might make on my design:<br />- use a lamination method or buy laminated cardstock that doesn't require quarter-inch borders. I used contact paper and the large plastic borders are not as fabulous as one might want.<br />- Try using maps as the paper (this is what some Etsy folks are doing). <br />- I had pretty cardstock with a coordinating color on the inside. If you have something without a pretty back side, try using two pieces of paper together. You'll have to worry about getting them to stick together and whether they'll fold smoothly.<br />- cut paper with pinking shears for a different edge.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638421710696342544.post-40055470649918034142008-02-10T08:55:00.001-06:002008-02-10T09:04:38.725-06:00New Pattern: Ruffles the Hat and Bootie Set<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3GULS_xzDQ-FouSlAWOYZeOFIqHhK02aTpKGqB9EISReQ92_rfWJFMPNGjhw9hv52lj_lLKHF0cTCZrZHobwiInxyHw1OWmlXrQgH5Jz8MXk-f3H4Gf6yiCLuKVWWiCZAW3-fM5XXA5SC/s1600-h/2210789126_9cd8e1b8b1_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3GULS_xzDQ-FouSlAWOYZeOFIqHhK02aTpKGqB9EISReQ92_rfWJFMPNGjhw9hv52lj_lLKHF0cTCZrZHobwiInxyHw1OWmlXrQgH5Jz8MXk-f3H4Gf6yiCLuKVWWiCZAW3-fM5XXA5SC/s400/2210789126_9cd8e1b8b1_b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165366317740700610" /></a><br /><br />Needles: size 3<br />Yarn: MC: Baby Bee Little Britches yarn in Breebug (4oz/252yds)-- uses less than half a skein<br />CC: Baby Bee Sweet Delight yarn in ??purple??
