Yarn Along

Seeing some of my favorite bloggers Yarn Along posts inspired me to start (and hopefully finish) a project. I found a great box to hold my knitting and reading and my goal is to read all the books/finish the knitting project before they can be replaced in the box. My current project is to make elf hats from Charmed Knits.

Recycled Men's Shirt Dresses

This is a fun and easy dress to make using an old mens shirt. I'm very much a beginner and am intimidated by patterns with buttons and button holes and zippers. With a mens shirt the buttons and everything are already there! I took off the breast pocket and re-sewed it onto the "front" of the dress, since DD likes pockets on her clothes. This is the tutorial I used. All you need is some elastic for the sleeves (I don't think I even used the "correct" width). A sewing machine is a plus. If you're a beginner who is impatient for an end-product, this is a nice satisfying craft.
