I've been talking about Spring for a while now and I know it's not here yet. But we are about to change our clocks, and it is getting lighter every day. So I've been celebrating Spring with some new projects, hoping this will encourage the sunshine and warm weather.
First up is my latest knitting pattern - the Loopy Loop Necklace. (You can click on this link to get the pattern on Hubpages) This pattern is inspired by some of the bold statement jewelry I've seen in stores for Spring. The design uses a basic i-cord to make the pendant (a video tutorial is posted with the pattern). Then I added some bright colors with a simple wrap embroidery stitch. I love how it came out!
And to welcome Spring when it finally arrives, I've made a new wreath for our door. This Scrap Fabric Wreath is easy to make using strips of fabric, a wire wreath form, and the decorations of your choice. The best part is that you can make a wreath for any holiday or season just with the fabric you choose. I wanted a Spring decoration, so I chose sunny yellow and bright pink, but you could make a wreath that is more rustic by using plaids and denim, or that celebrates your school by using the school colors. The options are endless :)
I hope these projects help you prepare for Spring's arrival!!
