This is a medium Waves of Wonder Scarf. It is made with a more versatile yarn. Because this yarn has a combo of polymide, cotton, and acrylic. In combination this piece can be machine washed on gentle short cycle and laid flat to dry. Great for so...

This is a medium Waves of Wonder scarf. This one is called "BumbleBerry" It is made with Auracania Chenille. This one is much thicker because of the effect of the Chenille. It is so soft!

This Waves of Wonder Scarf is the medium version of the design. It is great for running the length of your jacket lapel. I call this one "Merlot" It is created with Noro yarn.

Needle Felting: How can I make a business of it?

In tough economic times folks worry about extending themselves to pursue a business venture. They wonder if it is worth it to try to sell their wares.

I say, "Sell yourself!"
You have a knowledge base that others would give their right hand to know. You can package yourself and it costs no shipping.

Local yarn shops and fiber houses know that in tough economic times the crafting industry for supplies does not usually suffer.
Why?

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll
This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
