Crafty Cousins: April 2012
http://craftymccartycousins.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 1, 2012. After years of knitting and having sweater yarn for four years I finally made a sweater. I went with a pattern that has no seams and was knit from the top down. I'm really happy with the sweater, but it's now 85 degrees out so I won't get to wear it until next fall. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Crafty Cousins: Sweater
http://craftymccartycousins.blogspot.com/2012/04/sweater.html
Sunday, April 1, 2012. After years of knitting and having sweater yarn for four years I finally made a sweater. I went with a pattern that has no seams and was knit from the top down. I'm really happy with the sweater, but it's now 85 degrees out so I won't get to wear it until next fall. I like the yoke. And I fully support the no-seams approach. It looks great. And on the plus side, now that its in the 50s again, it feels cool after the 80s. Perfect sweater weather! Hope youre getting it too.

Crafty Cousins: Crafted gifts
http://craftymccartycousins.blogspot.com/2011/09/crafted-gifts.html
Saturday, September 24, 2011. Guess who found her camera cord? So I'm thrilled to post some hand-crafted gifts. I love the sweatshirt embroidery - the fan dancer is on the back. Front is all freestyle stitching, obviously since the sides don't really match. There is a little more orange accent around the hood, but I forgot to take pictures :). September 24, 2011 at 4:53 PM. As I recall, the pattern barely showed on the inside, so thats almost freestyle as well. It turned out great! Crafted gifts part deux.

Crafty Cousins: More Nesting: Valance and Pillow
http://craftymccartycousins.blogspot.com/2011/09/more-nesting-valance-and-pillow.html
Friday, September 23, 2011. More Nesting: Valance and Pillow. I am really proud of myself for the valance. I measured a lot. To make it. I measured the 1x2 that holds it up, I measured to install the 1x2, I measured around the velcro that I attached to the 1x2 to hold up the valance. I measured the fabric I cut; I measured the hems and the tucks that make the valance look tailored at the corners. And I measured all those things more than once. This valance even has a box pleat. Look:. You are speaking fo...

Crafty Cousins: December 2010
http://craftymccartycousins.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 27, 2010. Rowan is a fan of Star Wars so I decided to make him a Star Wars hat for Christmas. It has six R2D2s around the hat. I found the charts on Ravelry. And made up the hat pattern. I think it looks pretty cool. So does Rowan, and that's more important. Sunday, December 5, 2010. Incidentally, we did come home from the store with one pair of pants: red cordoroys with ruby jewels in each button and metal gromit thing. That's not girls' clothes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, November 6, 2011. Remembering last year's time crunch (as well as Conor having no idea what he wanted to be ahead of time) saved me from trying to make all three costumes again. This is the costume I. It turned out SO WELL! Oh wow. rowans costume is amazing! I cannot believe it! You should be proud. November 7, 2011 at 8:51 PM. Our craft booth should have costumes. November 16, 2011 at 8:41 PM. For what its worth, I think Ellies costume is AWESOME! November 20, 2011 at 5:24 PM.

Crafty Cousins: October 2011
http://craftymccartycousins.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 20, 2011. Quiet Book (lots o' pictures). Edited to add: The word "sewn" looks completely wrong to me, so if it's incorrect, sorry. Come back later when your spelling/ grammar. This was the big kids' present to Rowan last Christmas. And as it's not yet this Christmas, I'm not too late in posting it, right? I found the most. Ideas here: http:/ homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2009/07/quiet-book-templates.html. This was also helpful: http:/ quietbook.blogspot.com/. Here are the pages:. The cove...

Crafty Cousins: March 2010
http://craftymccartycousins.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 20, 2010. Pillowcases for the Grands-In-Law. I wanted to bring something personalized to my grandparents-in-law when I visited them a couple weeks ago. I thought pillowcases would be something useful, and I think they're pretty. Tuesday, March 9, 2010. I made this apron for a friend. It actually covers the parts that I get dirty! Cheyenne wasn't very happy to model but she faked it well. The friend liked it so much she ordered 6 more! Monday, March 8, 2010. Thursday, March 4, 2010.

Crafty Cousins: Crafted gifts part deux
http://craftymccartycousins.blogspot.com/2011/09/crafted-gifts-part-deux.html
Saturday, September 24, 2011. Crafted gifts part deux. I just unpacked this next item, which I must have swiped on St. Patrick's Day to add some more fabric around the edges so it actually fits on a human head. Steve drew this during the cousin gift exchange for Christmas 2010. It inspires me to do something for myself for March 17. I love the flames! You really cant go wrong with celtic flames, can you? September 27, 2011 at 11:44 AM. That is totally awesome. And even better in person, I have to say.
