Thank You!

I want to extend a warm Thank You to everyone who has encouraged me, bought a scarf, or contributed their time in growing this business. I could not ask for a better support system. The owners and organizers at the Fulton Street Market are so incredibly helpful and kind. The customers and crowd at the market are supportive and always have kind words for me. And my friends and family have helped in every way possible. I have such gratitude for everyone involved in this.

Update on this Scarf Season!

Hey everyone!
I've been super busy starting my Etsy account and trying to get it up and running! It's been going really well and I've been trying to keep my inventory filled as well. It's been a fun adventure so far just these past couple weeks so I look forward to this season growing! I've expanded my social media to Instagram as well. I will list my shop and Instagram below. Here is a collage of the types of scarves I've been making the last week. These are all available on my Etsy :) I've been selling a few on there and on my college campus and have been throwing around the idea of doing the local farmer's market. Who knows what October has in store (pun not intended). Have a wonderful day!

Etsy Shop Now Online!

Hi there! So I have great news. I recently decided to make my scarves available on Etsy! I'm pretty excited to be able to offer you guys my scarves. Opening my shop up before the fall season hits gives you all enough time to prepare for the imminent flurries and winds. Keep you neck warm this winter and check out my shop! https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrettyThingsCrochet

On another note, I finally made another braided crochet scarf! Yes, the increasingly popular mustard color braided crocheted scarf that I made years ago now comes in green! 

I was really nervous to try again after the success the last one had - didn't want to disappoint!- but I think this one is just as unique and beautiful as the last. Let me know your thoughts. If you really love it YOU CAN BUY IT! So exciting. It is for sale in my Etsy shop! I hope to have a bunch more colors available soon, so stay tuned if green isn't your favorite. Or, if you already know what you want, you can message me on Etsy and we can discuss a custom order! I really look forward to creating lots of scarves for you all this season. Talk soon!

Dreamcatcher

I decided I wanted to make a dreamcatcher over the summer. I knew almost nothing about how to make them, so I did a little research and found out you can make one just about however you want! So I went out and bought a large ring for the base, some suede to cover it, feathers of a bunch of colors, a few rolls of ribbons, some twine, and various jewelry pieces that I broke down for decorative things. I really like how it turned out! 

It took me forever to figure out how to do the weaving on top, but after many many failed attempts and throwing of countless things within reach, I got it the way I wanted it. It took me maybe 6 hours to make this, and while I hate to admit it, around $40. It was far more expensive than I anticipated, but I didn't have any prior supplies. If you have your own jewelry you can break down and can find feathers in a pack, I would recommend that. 

The beauty of these is that they don't need to look like they were factory made. They are custom project just for you to catch your dreams, so create it to look however you like!  Here are some more pictures! I hope they inspire you to make your own. :) 

Big CHUNKY Red Scarf

Check. This. Thing. OUT. I LOVE this new scarf I made! I bought some more expensive bulky yarn for this project! I had a gift card to Hobby Lobby so I spent it on the more expensive yarn to try something new. I had to buy 3 skeins of some big fluffy super soft red yarn. I am so glad I tried this! I swear this scarf looks store bought. It's so warm and cozy and soft I can't get enough. I made it super super long so I can wrap this behemoth 3 times! 3! It's the epitome of chunky bulky scarves. Plus the color is awesome. MMmmM! I used the same pattern I did on the multicolored scarf:

Step 1. Chain one row

Step 2. Double Crochet two rows

Step 3. Single Crochet two rows

(Repeat Steps 2 & 3)

So so so simple, so so so amazing. <3  Here's some more pictures!!!

 (sorry for the poor quality on some of these- I took them on my Andriod)

Thrifted Yarn Scarf

Hi everyone! I tried something new today. I made a scarf out of some thrifted yarn! I used 5 or 6 different colors of yarn to make this guy. I also used a different pattern than my normal scarves. I threw in some single crocheted rows to add some variety, and I LOVE IT. It may be my new favorite pattern. So much fun to play around with stitches. I hope you guys like this! I paid $3 for the yarn from goodwill, had a few scrap yards from previous projects, and bought one new skein for $5 for this. So it cost about $8 to make. I had so much fun doing it too! 

Scarf Video Tutorial Debut!!!

Click HERE to see the video on YouTube

You all know from my braided scarf pattern that I use double crochets, but for those of you who do not know what that means, I made a video! I show you the basics of getting started! It's not the best video, but I think it's realy easy to follow for those of you who want to know how I make all my scarves. I don't have video editing software on my computer, so I just did one ten minute video. Therefore, I was not able to show you a finished product. However! The scarves in my previous posts use the pattern in the video! To save you from scrolling back to see them, I'll put them all down below. Hope you guys enjoy the video!! Leave comments on it :) I hope to make more in the future once I figure out how to edit my videos and make them more viewer friendly.
