Sticker Subscription Crazy Cray Crayness

Now just because I am posting about Pipsticks, Inc. Sticker Subscription program on the Kids Craft blog doesn’t mean it’s just for kids. I mean they actually have a Grownup pack too. I know, I know it’s totally cool. I remember collecting stickers when I was 10 and thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

I love styling things my own way and I also know a little soon to be 9 year old mini-me who also loves to style things her own way too. She would love this and it’s the perfect gift for Birthdays and Christmas. I am really tired of all of the same store bought gifts and this is a fun way to give a little something for a few big months! Prices start as little as $9.95 per month. But wait there is more we have a special discount code for CraftGossip.com Readers!!

Use code GOSSIP15 which will give you 15% off the 1^st month of any subscription.

As I write this, it’s probably time to start thinking about winter knitting if you haven’t already. And it’s definitely time to think about gift knitting if you have any of that you plan to do for the holidays.

The Dreamy Waves Scarf from Knit Picks, designed by Stacey Winklepleck, would be a great project to go in either category.

It uses two different multicolored yarns and a simple repeating wave pattern to make a project that looks a lot more complicated and dramatic than it is. The gradient look happens naturally just by switching which yarn you’re knitting with.

This pattern uses worsted weight yarn so it’s a pretty quick project even though a scarf is large and this one is pretty wide. It measures 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) wide and 63 inches or 120 cm long. Of course you can make it longer or shorter as you like. As written it takes one ball of each color so it’s a pretty economical project, too.

It’s rated for intermediate knitters but if you know how to do various increases and decreases you’ll be all set. The pattern uses knit 2 together, make 1 left and right, centered double decrease and slip slip knit. All of the stitches are explained in a glossary in the pattern so even if you haven’t done all of them it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.

The pattern also includes tons of options for different colorways in yarn that Knit Picks sells, so you can see how different combinations knit up before you buy the yarn. That’s such a great idea!

Of course if you already have two multicolored yarns with long color runs on hand, you can absolutely use them, too. It might also be fun, but would give you a totally different look, to use a solid color and a bunch of scraps or one multicolored yarn to see how the different colors play together. So many options!

You can grab this free pattern and check out all the color options at Knit Picks.
