Wooden Yarn Bowl: Perfect Gift

 


If you want to surprise someone who is an avid crocheter or knitter, you should look at this wooden yarn bowl from Ravel.  While you could find a yarn bowl at a big craft store, it would not compare to this beauty.  It is crafted from a single piece of wood--no joins/weak spots.  As a bonus, this polished wooden yarn bowl also comes with two luxury rosewood crochet hooks.

A yarn bowl is ideal for keeping balls of yarn from rolling around.  Grooves and holes help keep strands separated for color work, too.

Copying an Earloop Bandanna

 

For when your tyrannical government requires you to be faceless

I believe masks are part of the PsyOp being fought against all of us as dark powers seek to consolidate their control.  The virus is an opportunity for them to accelerate their goal of communism worldwide.  However, there are times I choose to wear a muzzle in order to blend in as I fight against the communists--it is harder to fight them if I end up in a cage for defying their mindless, unscientific, and unconstitutional "executive orders."

I began with a purchased covering given to me by my sister.  I made a paper pattern for the curved top and cut a square bandanna from the discount store.  The bottom edge makes use of the already-hemmed edges of the bandanna.  The back seam is sewn first.


Next I hemmed the front top edge and used narrow double-fold bias tape around the side and back, curving around for the ear loops.
