Quick Party Ideas – Adult Onesies

by

This blog topic was inspired by my father who messaged me at 7 am to tell me – did I know that Onesies are HUGE right now. If my 69-year-old father thinks they are worth blogging about then gosh darn it I will blog.

I have been trying hard not to get involved with the whole Onesie craze. I do own one that my mother bought me. When my kids started laughing at me hysterically I took it off and went back to my good old trusted trackie dacks (tracksuit pants) and hung my head in shame as I shoved them deep into the back of my cupboard.

So now to put a positive spin on a Onesie. They would make for an hysterical (non flattering) party. I also think they are the perfect costume (not daywear people) for kids parties. Where else could you find an Elmo costume you can wear day or night to entertain your kids for under $60? Imagine if Batman could tuck your children into bed each night?

You can purchase Onesies for as little as $15 with free shipping. You could buy 10 for your friends and host a pizza/Onesie/sleepover for under $200. It would be a fantastic laugh. If you are looking for more Onesie Party Ideas consider checking out our Onesie Party Idea Pinterest Board.

Knit a Stunning Shawl That Wears Like a Collar

I’m honestly not totally sure what to say about the Sun King shawl pattern from Ursa Major Knits other than isn’t this cool? You should probably make one. 

This modular design is worked in two parts, the “waxing” and “waning” sections. Both pieces are asymmetrical and use the same yarns in different ways to mix up the colors and make it even more interesting. 

You can choose to use two contrasting solid yarns, a solid and a gradient or two complimentary gradients for your yarns. And you can use any weight of yarn and whatever gauge you like to make shawls of different sizes. There are also a bunch of different size options (seven, in fact) that take the project from a little collar like design to something more like a scarf to a large shawl that wraps around the neck to keep you warm. 

The sample projects use fingering/lace weight yarn, but you can use whatever you have on hand to make your own beautiful version of this shawl. Using lace weight, you’ll need twice as much of one color as the other.

There are lots of yarn suggestions on the pattern page on Ravelry, and I love the color choices the designer made so much I’d definitely be tempted to use the same colors they did (there are a couple of different versions on the pattern page if you want to see how it looks in different sizes and different colors). 

I love the little diamond shapes a the edges of the pieces, which add a little more drama to the project, as if it needed more. 

I’m still not sure this boils down to anything beyond this project looks really cool and you should probably knit it, but that’s pretty much how I pick all the projects I share, so I guess that’s fine. You can check it out for yourself and grab a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
