Scents of Heaven Candle Co.

Scents of Heaven Candle Co. – Wholesale Candle Supplies contacted me to tell me about their candle company. Prices for both their candles and supplies are fairly reasonable.

For example, 10 pounds of wax ranges in price from $15.99 to $17.99. If you want to just order candles, you can create your own custom candle. Tell them what color and scent you want and they’ll be happy to make it for you.

Candle fragrances at Scents of Heaven involve exotic scents like Caribbean, frozen margaritas, sangria and sex on the beach. If you’re in Brevard County, Florida and your order is over $100, delivery is free.

They will also create a personalized prayer candle for you, which is a wonderful idea. I’m not a huge fan of flowers that wilt a couple days later and a prayer candle is a perfect alternative.

There’s a new candle coming soon at Scents of Heaven and 50% of the proceeds will go towards helping the local animal shelters. “I am posting very soon a new candle to benefit the animal shelters. We will donate up to 50% of the proceeds to our local animal shelters. With the shape our economy is in the animals are being turned out at unbearable rates. Please donate to feed and shelter them until they can find homes”, said Brandi from Scents of Heaven Candle Co.

What a great idea! Even though a couple of the pages on the website don’t appear to be complete, I’m looking forward to seeing more.

Generally I like knitting patterns where I feel like you can use whatever yarn you have (because my stash is big enough and I want to use it, thanks) and make a successful project. This is one of those times when a special yarn makes the process that much easier.

The Floral Bouquet Shawl from Xandy Peters uses a specific extended color pooling yarn from Feisty Fibers, which allows you to place the bobble flowers with increasing frequency as you knit the project.

It starts with a solid color yarn, then the two color yarn is added in, and you make a bobble whenever you encounter the color pops. This would be hard to replicate with other yarn that doesn’t have the extended color pooling built in.

The background of the shawl is ribbed, making the project reversible.

The shawl uses fingering/sock yarn and comes out to be an asymmetrical triangle that’s 54 inches/137 cm long and 36 inches/ 90 cm deep and 60 inches/150 cm across the top edge.

Xandy says the pattern is for intermediate to advanced knitters. Knowing how to work traditional bobbles would probably help, but there’s a great video tutorial for how to work the floral bobbles so you can practice on other yarn or even incorporate the bobbles into other projects.

The bobbles are five-petaled flowers but they also kind of look like starfish to me, which could be fun on a child’s cardigan or other pattern. They’d also be fun on the leg of a sock or around the brim of a hat for extra whimsy.

The pattern includes photo and video tutorials, and written and charted instructions. It also includes tips on what to look for if you choose to use different yarn for the project, and instructions on how to dye your own yarn to use in the project.

If you want to give it a try, you can find the pattern on Ravelry.
