Shabby I-phone Case Free Crochet Pattern

Remember a few days ago, I told you about an inspirational little design on an envelope, and how I had gathered remnants of yarn to make a little mother's day gift. Well, here it is, the Shabby I-phone case.  It is full of shabby, vintage charm. The best part is that it is such a quick project. You will have a finished gift in the blink of an eye using only left over yarn! I am offering the pattern as a free Ravelry Download. Click the link to download directly to your computer.

The case fits a standard i-phone, and other phones similar in size. The case is crocheted in the round, in a spiral, with only one seam at the bottom.

The flowers are crocheted individually and secured to the case.

Very basic embroidery adds the final touch. Enjoy!

The Liesl Kerchief Pattern is ready

The Liesl Kerchief pattern is ready. After a few technical problems, everything is now working perfectly.

The Liesl Kerchief is a great project for hot summer knitting. It uses only one ball of Rowan Classic Yarns Siena, under 153 yards, and is so quick to knit. With its delicate lace edging inspired by a 40's vintage doily, Liesl, which can be worn both as a or as a scarflet, has a timeless feminine beauty. The pattern has both written instructions and charted instructions for the lace edging, as well as beautiful pictures and a companion video series explaining all stitches and techniques used in tha pattern. I hope you will enjoy knitting Liesl as much as I have...

For the first time, Mr SockPixie and I worked on a series of companion videos to the pattern. The videos cover all the important stitches and techniques in the pattern in order to make it as simple and enjoyable as possible for you to knit Liesl.  Here is part 1 for you to see.
