If you like the new layout...
I recently decided that I needed a new logo for my Etsy shop - one all my own made especially for me. The very talented Brandy at brittle heart design created one just for me. She’s fantastic to work with making changes and everything until it was exactly what I was looking for. If you are in the market for graphic design work you should definitely look her up. You can find her shop over...

Introducing Owl Convertible Crochet Mittens
I’ve been asked why I didn’t have a convertible mitten for sale with the owl on it instead of the cable pattern. I honestly couldn’t figure out why I hadn’t. I like to come up with new items for my shop and since my convertible cabled mittens have done well I decided to sit and figure out the modifications of making the owl fingerless mittens into convertibles.

Changed my mind...
Due to a lot of positive feedback I’ve been receiving, I’ve decided to go ahead and start listing my owl tassel hats and stuffies in my shop. Currently I have custom listings available for the owl hats and a couple stuffies are up. Be on the lookout over the next few days for the rest to go live.

Stuffies!!
I’ve been meaning to find something cute that would fit the feel of my shop and use all the adorable fabrics that I have accumulated. I’ve finally found inspiration and started creating stuffies.
I’m addicted to these little guys. They are super cute, super soft, and you just HAVE to squish them. They aren’t going to officially be up in my shop until after December...

Coming soon to Whimsical Stitches
My daughter and I saw some similar looking hats out and about lately and I immediately decided I needed to make my daughter (and myself) one. The first one I did for my daughter worked up so great that I knew I was onto something.
So once I finished her hat I decided I needed to make myself one. I had a skein of yarn that I’ve wanted to make something with for a while. I figured this...

Introducing Slouchy Owl Hats!
I’ve received great feedback from my owl dread tubes, but also a lot of requests for a similar hat that was closed at the top. Last month I sat down wanting a new hat to wear and made just that hat. The Slouchy Owl is constructed exactly the same as the Dread Tube until the row past the owl. At this point I simply closed the hat rather than leaving it open. It is a slouchy, super comfy...

Welcome, Fall.
Time for me to come out of hiding over here on my blog. The summer has been crazy for us as it is I’m sure for most with kids. We were kept very busy and I didn’t have a lot of time to devote to crafting. I did a little here and there as time permitted, but never had much time to talk about what I was up to.
So here in Pennsylvania, Fall is here. It’s been chilly in the...

Parliament Handbag
I came up with this bag after picking up a pair of wooden purse handles and a skein of gray yarn. I had no idea what I was doing when I started. This is what it turned into…
The bag is unlined, but the close stitches assures that nothing will fall out. It was worked in one complete piece. There are no seams which could work loose over time. Even the handles were crocheted in...

Finished Custom Orders
I just finished up a custom order pair of Cabled Convertible Mittens. This pair was crocheted using a recycled blend yarn - 70% acrylic/30% recycled polyester - in a beautiful “Aquarium” color.
I also had a request to make a dread tube which isn’t something I’ve done before, but I love the way it turned out and I hope she does as well. It is made from acrylic yarn in...

NEW ITEM *Convertible Cabled Mittens*
I’m excited to announce a new item that I will be carrying from now on - Convertible Cabled Mittens. I’ve had quite a few requests for convertible mittens and I decided it’s time to write up a pattern and make it happen. I’m so excited by how they turned out and I hope you will be too!
This item will mostly be a custom order item, but you may see some ready to ship...
