It’s the last Friday of the month and time to finish up those projects that are lingering! I’ll see you on Twitch!

For the month of May, we are doing a knitalong! You can use the pattern I will be doing, which I picked up from Wonderland Knits (they have a kit available too) or choose your own star blanket in the fiber art of your choice. I’ll be knitting this up in Circulo Whoopee, in colorway 9975, which is all purpley and absolutely picked out of my stash. I may need to buy more, but only because I only have 1 cake. I’ll see you on twitch!

Spring has arrived in the workshop and there are half completed projects everywhere. I was going to suggest a knit along this month, but let’s do that NEXT month and clear some backlog instead. So bring your project, whichever one you want to move forward, and join me at twitch.tv/geeceesworkshop we can finish those projecs together.

It’s Spring! or close to it. I think. I don’t know, it’s still February when I am posting this. Whenever you are reading this, on the 20th of March, we are knitting eggs. Yes, the week before last we knit chickens which in this case, we can say for certain that the chicken came first.

I love these little dolls and have a special one in mind for today!

Head on over to theknittingtreela.com and pickup the latest Emotional Support chicken pattern! The small chicken is fast and friendly. It’s a favorite knit

come hang out and chat while we work on our works in progress!

Daffodils are my favorite. From the depiction of them in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland to the bunches of them that spring up each year in Julian, CA, I just want to smell them. and pet them, and marvel at their natural perfection. So what makes more sense but to knit myself a bunch in case mine don’t bloom this year? Here is the pattern I will be using: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/daffodils-6

Since I missed the last opportunity to knit hearts with you, I’m going to try again. So grab your favorite fiber arts heart pattern and let’s go!

Its the end of the month and a great time to catch up on some works in progress! What are you making today?

I love making paper roses! They are so easy and provide a wonderful visual. You will need paper (not too thin, and not card stock. I use book pages from an encyclopedia that is WAY out of date) paints (diluted acrylics or watercolors) if you want colorful flowers or your paper isn’t pre-colorfuled. (that’s not even a word) Hot glue, and scissors.

I promised a couple of months ago that we would knit hearts, and here we are! It’s getting close to Valentine’s day and even though I don’t really celebrate, I still like to make heart shaped items! For this knit, you will need double pointed needles, yarn, and stuffing. Oh, and a yarn needle. This is a heart that is safe to give away!

Week 2 of hat knitting! Did you get ahead? Did I? No worries, there’s plenty of crafting to go around!

For my hat, I chose the My Baker’s Hat by Emily Russell on Ravelry. This is a free pattern, but you have the opportunity to support Em on Ko-Fi. Her info will also be in the blog round up

I’m going to let you pick your favorite hat pattern to knit along! As of the scheduling of this live, I just don’t know which, of the many hats I love to knit, will be my choice for the knit along. This will be a two-parter since I don’t think I can knit w whole hat in an hour. Bring your hat making supplies, and let’s craft together!

Big sigh. I don’t know about you, but the winter holiday season always feels hectic and the end of the year zips right past. Today. let’s take a breath and work on a project that perhaps got set aside while we were in a flurry of holiday crafting!

An excellent way to use up sock yarn, these tiny sweaters are so sweet, and fit really nicely on fashion dolls of the 11 1/2 inch variety. I have not tried them on a different doll! This is what I think of when people ask me if I have ever knit a sweater. The answer is yes. tiny, tiny sweaters. They work up fast, and since we are just 6 days away from winter holiday madness and eating 7-11 hotdogs for dinner if you didn’t make better plans (what? is it just me? everything was closed.) You can play around with gauge on these, to get the look you want, but I doubt you will be able to size them up for your favorite toddler. I have a different pattern for that.

I’m updating the topic of tonight’s live because, well, I think we need som catchup time more than we need another ornament. It’s still a great pattern, but I’m looking at my desk and I’m thinking, you’ve got some catching up to do!

www.twitch.tv/geeceesworkshop

We will be embellishing felt star ornaments this week, so bring your precut stars (or hearts or shape of your dreams) and we will lightly embroider and hand sew them together. It’s been awhile since we made a felt craft and these make really nice gift dangles, ornaments, host(ess) gifts, whatever you decide you want to do. Let’s hang out and craft together!

It’s that time of year, and I meant to do this earlier in the season, but here we are! Today we are knitting pickles. We will talk about the origins of the Christmas Pickle and how this project is celebrated here in the workshop.

You will need: Green yarn and double pointed needles in a size appropriate for your yarn. The following items are optional: beads (you will need a flexible beading needle if you decide to add beads) eyes and other face parts.

You will need to know: knitting in the round, short rows, placing beads.

This project is very silly and delightful and I can’t wait to knit along with you! The pattern I use is here, but of course you can pick the one you like the best. I just want to craft with you!

Whew! that was a lot of crafting for Halloween. Let’s take a moment to take a breath and complete some incomplete projects!

Lets make flowers to celebrate the Day of the Dead

Traditionally, marigolds are used to decorate for this holiday, but these can be difficult to obtain and keep long term. For my Offrenda, I like to make my flowers out of tissue paper or yarn. I’ll show tou how to do both!
You will need orange and yellow yarn and/or tissue paper, and green pipe cleaners (chenille stems) and scissors for this craft!
