{resolutions…learning a new skill}

Hi friends! Happy Wednesday to you! I am not great with resolutions, but I do love learning new things! Last year I re-taught myself to crochet. I learned the basics when I was about 10 years old, but never made anything until last year!

Over the last few months, curling up on the couch with a quilt and a skein of yarn has been one of my very favorite things to do! I have successfully mastered two items that I am in LOVE with!!!

The Urban Turban {pattern here}

and the Brimmed Beanie {pattern here}

Do you want to learn to crochet or knit this year??? If so, then I HIGHLY recommend checking out Tricoast Online. They have an AMAZING selection of DVD’s, downloads, and kits that make learning the skills of crochet and knit easy and so much fun!!!

They sent me this kit to review that helps to teach kids to crochet and the best part…the teaching is done by a little boy! How cool is that! I will definitely be using it to teach my son! I think it would be great for him to use something other than the DS to keep his hands busy! 

Head on over to Tri-Coast now because they are offering special holiday pricing! 20% off the whole store including their brand new ebook download!

Have fun learning your new skill! I can’t wait to hear all about what you’re making! I off to get more yarn and park myself on the couch today!

Made With Love #48

We had a lovely weekend and I hope you did too! Like I mentioned Friday, I have been re-teaching myself to crochet so I did lots of that this weekend! I made a bunch of Urban Turban Headbands and had every intention of hoarding them for my fall open house, but they were just too cute to not list in THE SHOP for you...so I did!

 

There are five colors to chose from. Just make sure to specify your color choice when you checkout. They are made to order so please allow a week or so for construction and shipping.

Also...I made this little cutie! What do you think???

 

 

I would love some feedback before I list them :)
