Midnite Crowns

I made these dread crowns recently to bring with me to the Midnite show in Oakland.  This cowrie shell style has been worn by reggae artists such as Toussaint and Batch.

Hi There!

This hat was a pleasure to make.  It can also be a puppet.  I was sorting my yarn and I separated out all the little bits that I can't use.  The color scheme was earthtones, blues, greens, purple and some orange.  I love the open-mouth smile and antena.

White Roses

This white hat I made using the puff stitch and it has white rose buttons. The olive green one below is a dread crown.  It looks good on; I will probably make myself one but I can't decide on a color.

Blues and Greens

These hats were inspired by a hat I saw someone wearing recently at a Steel Pulse concert.  I like the ribbing with the stripes.  The one above is adult size and has a vintage look because of the vintage blue and green color-changing yarn I used, combined with off-white yarn.  The one below is child size and is light blue with white and a little tassel.

Headbands and Inspired Hat

These are two black headbands with a small black button closure at the back.  They are extra wide.  One has purple sparkles and one has green sparkles which the camera does not capture.

This one was inspired by a friend; it is actually the same color combo in a popular hat I make.

This hat was inspired when I saw the Indian Summer headbands lying on top of the royal blue sparkly hat I made recently.  It is very sparkly; I incorporated the yarns I brought back from Mexico.

Creme Puff

Actually, this hat is not cream colored, but more like a light yellow.  It features a red and white ribbon that can be untied if desired.  This is a new stitch that I learned recently called the puff stitch.

My Handwarmers

These handwarmers I made for myself last night since the cold weather has hit and I need to keep my paws warm biking.  My other pair got dirty and were drying in the sun after I washed them.  These ones match my hood- peach with sparkly white.  Nice and warm!!

My Hoodsie

This is me modeling my new hood/cape with Sasha.  It is bright peach and sparkly white.  It really keeps me warm and I made it extra large so it would fit over my hair (almost).  I can even wear another hat underneath which is great.  I also used a new stitch called the puff stitch!  I was going to put tassles on the ends but I got lazy...

Power Bands

Feathers can be worn tucked into the band and sticking up or flowing down with the hair.  Some of the wristbands feature wooden adornments; one is of oranges and the state of Florida, the other has a man with a tuna. 


These items are all from last year and are extremely discounted!

Indian Summer Headbands

I love the combination of Central American yarn and vintage yarn colors in these.  I also added purple sparkles and blue sparkles to a couple of them.

Hart and Soul Headbands

These stylish pieces were inspired by my friend Katelyn Hart, of Chatham, MA.  The button closure not only makes them look sophisticated and chic but also allows full adjustability.  Olive green with dark brown wooden buttons and oatmeal with a large olive green button.
