A Pattern! | At Yarn's End I've gotten a few requests for the Wager's Hat I made for my friend Pam for Christmas and so I'm going to post it here - the best I can remember. I think I wrote it down somewhere (how many stitches to cast on and then increase but as usual, I can't find it!) but I'll give it a go! I think the stitch is based on Barbara Walker's Wager's Welt pattern but I'm not so sure. Wager Hat You will need: Bulky yarn (about 140 yards) I used a little more than half a skein of Lion Brand Homespun yarn since I didn't want Pam to have to worry about washing wool when she's got all that chemotherapy to worry about!

Crafts From The Past: Rice Bag Tote I hope you guys don't mind but I'm going to re-post one of my older crafts from when I first started blogging. I'm currently fighting a horrible flu and just don't have the energy to be crafting/writing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll be back to normal my Monday. I made this handbag out of two rice bags. We buy the large bags since we eat a lot of rice here. Suppliestwo large rice bagsthreadrulerscissorssewing machine Here's one of the rice bags I used. Hem the top of both large pieces of plastic. For the handles cut two strips of the rice bag to 16 1/2" by 3". Center handle to wrong side of bag and pin in place. Pin right sides of bag together.

Maria quoted these lines before we began our talk. Is it possible to be brief about the creative powers of this artist? The artist boasts an extraordinary sense of composition and has an extremely good eye which enable her to bring the drawings on the canvas to life with unusual accuracy.
