Blowtorch Crafts

The evil queen from Snow White

Adorapop is a lovely shop on Etsy, featuring jewellery inspired by fairytales, birdwatching and other things. For those of you not familiar with Etsy, it’s a place where anyone can buy and sell handmade stuff and unique crafting supplies. Whatever your taste, you will find something to love here.

This is the world’s largest Calorimetry.
I learned a few things from this:

• My head is small.
• I knit very losely.
• Checking the gauge is a good idea.

I can use it, but I have to make a knot from the ends…

I am learning to knit, and lace patterns are fun! It demands concentration, and I think it would have been easier with a thicker yarn – it is really difficult to make out the pattern as I go. Fortunately, the mistakes are nearly impossible to spot as well :)

I finally finished the red mittens. Apparently, I crochet tighter now than I used to, and they became smaller than the last pair. So, I only felted them at 40 degrees, and I am rather happy with the result.

I have started making jewellery again: these are some of the latest examples.
