Fall Crafts: DIY Button Cowl

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons but one of them is because you get to break out the cozy clothes that have been hiding in your closet all summer! Bring on the knits!! I love to dress in sweaters, boots, leggings, scarves, and heavy jackets. I also love to crochet which is the perfect activity for the fall!

Why not bring my two loves together? Its easy to do with this great pattern from Fiber Flux. Check it out here!

Arm Knitting: How To!

I must be the last person in the world to hear about arm knitting but its so cool and I had to share it with all of you! I love to crochet so I have always thought "Omg! Knitting looks way to difficult for me! I will just stick to crocheting" but after looking at this arm knitting tutorial, it looks like something I could definitely try!

This gorgeous scarf was created by Maggie from Simply Maggie and she created a tutorial! Its such a gorgeous scarf and I can totally see myself using this technique for scarves, blankets, rugs and more (especially for the baby's room!). Check out Maggies tutorial here and don't forget to stop by her shop and see her beautiful creations!

Silhouette Heat Transfer!

I absolutely love my Silhouette machine! I use it all the time for everything from labeling the dog's food container to creating stencils for my crafting.

I was recently reading a post from Cheryl over at That's What Che Said and I learned that Silhouette is selling a new kit for their machines that allows you to do heat transfers! This is so exciting! Look at this cute little onesie that Cheryl created:

How cute is that?! She has a great tutorial on how to do this and there may or may not be an awesome coupon for buy one get one free items in the Silhouette shop! *wink**wink*
