Woolery knitted/felted jewelry Tutorial

This very cute necklace came from “instructables” and I am going to try one, so cute!

Rowsoprose tells about her creation. “Heavy metal chains conduct cold–and another word for diamonds? Ice! So if a girl wants to accessorize and keep warm, regular jewelry isn’t going to throw any sparks. Since all I want to do when the cold winds blow is knit, I decided to knit a necklace that would add some color to my thermal turtleneck while keeping me warm.

This is an easy project, fine for a beginning knitter who has knitted in the round with double pointed needles. The only tricky part is making sure you add the “links” as you go, sliding them and moving them over your needles as you go”.

She also has an ETSY store “Rowsoprose “ where she sells this necklace, but she is showing us how to make it, Thank you!

The Perfect Socks to Knit for Fall

I love a good themed sock, even though I don’t knit them all that often. I guess maybe it feels like why take all that time to knit something I can only use for a couple of weeks a year?

But honestly a lot of things we knit don’t get a ton of use and we still love them. And I’m all about bringing the whimsy whenever possible, so why let people who buy themed socks have all the fun? (Also people are not looking at your socks so go ahead and wear the seasonal socks all year. Probably no one will notice unless you tell them.)

The Hey There Pumpkin socks from Fiber and Fern Designs would be cute to knit and to wear throughout the fall. They’re not strictly Halloween socks, but you could wear them for that. You can also wear them to the pumpkin patch, and to any even through Thanksgiving that needs a little more fun.

Of course if you wanted to make them Halloween socks you could use duplicate stitch to make little faces on some or all of the pumpkins. Or even just one one random pumpkin on each sock to give a reference to Halloween but still make them wearable and on theme throughout the fall.

The socks use three colors and have a German short row heel. There are options for knitting them as short socks or calf length socks. The pattern has three sizes for small, medium and large women’s feet (roughly US shoe sizes 6.5 to 7 for size small, 8 to 9 for medium and 10 to 11 for large).

The pattern is written with instructions given by stitch count or the placement of markers, so you can use whatever your favorite method is for sock knitting in the round, whether that’s magic loop, DPNS, a short circular or two circulars.

You can find this pattern at Fiber and Fern Designs on Etsy.
