Austin Armwarmers

Thursday, May 8, 2008, 02:55 PM CST [General]

Fittingly enough, I'll be driving off to Austin, Texas next week for my first really actual roadtrip. In honor of this momentous occasion, I bring you your free pattern of the week, the Austin Armwarmers from YarnPlay, by Lisa Shobhana Mason.

Lisa is also the author of YarnPlay at Home.

Did you know the Craft Mafia started in Austin? In fact, it was started in part by one of our authors, Jennifer Perkins, aka The Naughty Secretary. Her fun jewelry book, The Naughty Secretary Club, will be out in July--it's got great jewelry projects PLUS hilarious secretary-themed sidebars.

Enjoy! As always, please post pictures of your Armwarmers if you make some. I've always wanted to try this pattern, but haven't yet! Looking forward to seeing your craftiness.

The Whilameenas

Thursday, May 1, 2008, 04:05 PM CST [General]

The creepily cute free project this week comes to you from The Anticraft, by Renée Rigdon and Zabet Stewart.

It's the Whilameenas...a pair of conjoined rat twins. Make them for the person you can't imagine living without. Or maybe you should just keep them for yourself. Perhaps less creepy? Check out the book for more crazy projects--it's worth owning just for the cool photographs. Ooooo, so crafty....so scary! Also visit The Anticraft Web site for more anticrafting ideas.

Enjoy!
