I was on Etsy earlier this week looking for some sleeves. I have been wanting some lately, so I figured I would give my favorite site a try. I found this wonderful pair from thoughtfulstitches. They are made by cutting the sleeves off of an old sweater. So cute!
Seeing these sleeves made me think about making my own. So, I sat down and got to work. Here is what I came up with.
I love all things yarn, so I am often on Etsy looking for cute and unique items. This is what I ran into this week.
I fell in love with the leg warmers made by Grace and Lace Co. I found two pair over there that I HAVE to have.
I have a twitter friend who sells on Etsy. I saw her work and loved it so much that I ordered a cowl from her. Make sure you check her out. CrochetbyYJ.
I was cruising moo.com looking for business card and logo sticker information, and I stumbled across information for Kouture Crochet. I love the way she packages her items. She sells crocheted ties, scarves, and blankets.
Check out Etsy and Kouture Crochet to find some nice items to keep you warm!
Have you found any knit or crocheted items that you absolutely can’t live without?
Peace and blessings,
Michelle

@Jackie Awww, Aunt Delphine making leg warmers. I remember having leg warmers as a kid.
I fit my projects and crafts in whenever I can. I knit at work on lunch and breaks. When I am just sitting home watching tv I try to get something on my list done.
The apartment is coming along nicely. I need to get back out to Ikea to get a few things. I also need to paint the hallway. I am very excited!!!
