by

Candle carving is a unique and impressive technique that can take an ordinary candle and turn it into a work of art. However, it can also seem intimidating to those who are new to the craft. Fortunately, there are resources available for anyone who wants to try their hand at candle carving. One such resource is the candle carving instructions provided by One Stop Candle. These instructions offer a detailed guide on how to carve candles, including what tools to use and how to create different shapes and designs.

For those who are interested in learning candle carving, but don’t have the budget for expensive classes, these instructions can be a great starting point. While it may take some practice to perfect the craft, there’s no harm in starting with a simple design and working your way up. If you make a mistake, you can always melt the candle down and start again.

Candle carving can add a unique and personalized touch to your candles, making them perfect for gift-giving or for adding a special touch to your home decor. With these instructions and a little practice, anyone can master the art of candle carving and create beautiful, one-of-a-kind candles.

Knit a Cozy Sweater with Lots of Options

If you’re looking for a sweater knitting pattern that uses up some of your stash and allows you to make just the sweater you want, the Marlina Rib by Shay Johson might be just the thing.

It’s worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together to make a DK weight gauge, so you can use the same two yarns throughout or change one or both regularly for an even more colorful look.

The pattern has options to make it either a crewneck or a henley style with buttons, tapered or relaxed sleeves, and a straight hemline or a split hem with buttons (which sounds so cute if you do the henley with split hem and match the buttons on both parts).

It’s also knit from the top down so you can make the body and the sleeves as long as you want. There are 10 sizes available in the pattern, with a chest circumference ranging from 32 to 68 inches, or 81.5 to 172.5 cm. It’s meant to be worn with 4-6 inches/10-15 cm of positive ease at the chest.

The pattern page on Ravelry includes tons of measurements and yardage estimates so you can make sure you’ll get a good fit for your body before you even buy the pattern. Shay also shows a few variations of the sweater so you can see how different options look before you decide how you want to put them together.

The stitch pattern is 1×2 ribbing, which is really easy to do and gives a look almost like fisherman’s rib that’s relaxed and easy to wear.

This sweater looks like a great option for people who are somewhat new to sweater knitting or those who love to have lots of customization options (because it’s like getting multiple sweater patterns in one!).

Check out all the details and grab a copy of the pattern for yourself at Ravelry.
