Tiny Dark Wings and a wing round up

This is my wing round up post. Stuff with wings, wings for stuff.

This tiny baby bird is looking down your shirt do not be fooled by it’s innocent and cute appearance! Beware the baby bird!

I’m a big fan of wearing wings and tails and animal ears whenever to mood strikes. Why be normal? I like these ‘wings for those of a darker nature‘, they look delicate yet… eeeevil! Halloween is coming up. There’s still time to assemble your sexy gothic lolita fairy costume. Mabin Rhys has some really cute wings, the brownie ones are great AND she has a good selection of horn headbands for kids (or, um… me). I wish she wasn’t shipping from over seas!

This bell jar ring with a tiny butterfly wing looks so delicate yet also like it could take you out with one careless wave of your hand.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
