I made this for my wonderful mother for Christmas, and have been meaning to share with you. So here it is!! I wish I had taken better notes, I didn’t write down the gauge and my parents are currently in Germany, so it’s kind hard to check. Uggg.

I used TLC Cotton Plus yarn with a 4.5mm hook. Any DK or light worsted weight yarn should work.

I seem to have had a not~so~bright moment. I did have many process pictures to go along with this tutorial. So many. I moved them into the pattern I had written in a Word doc, and then deleted them from my photos. Now I can’t get them into Blogger, and they won’t re~save as photos. I really have no idea how I managed to make this mess. I’m going to blame the bad cold. It seems the only photos I have left are of the finished object. The patterns should still be fine, I just prefer to give you lots of helpful photos along the way. Sorry about that. :^

Here it is with the flap up so you can see the screen (like my cardboard Nook?)

Sew fun!!

Well, I guess it’s going around. Yarrrn Club at InsaniTea was rather sparse on Sunday due to people being sick. It was just me, Jenn (yea!!!) and Jenn’s daughter Katrina.

Ingrid acquired a new mug. I fell in love! It’s even a little dimensional. 70’s fun!

Finally got around to it.

I’ve been debating starting a Facebook page to go with my Etsy store for a bit now, and I finally got around to it today. Take a look!

I have improved upon one of my old patterns. The Tea Cup Bunting pattern is now a stand alone Tea Cup.

Ahh~choo!!

That’s right. Everyone here has a nasty cold! So much so that my childhood security “blanket” was brought down from his perch on a high shelf in the girls room.

Getting my Ducks in a Row

I really need to take a cue from my daughters.

I am working on the duck~row~thing. I just also have the short~attention~span~girl thing. And the busy~mommy thing. And the so~many~things~so~little~time thing…

Time to test the Faerie Coat!!

I am looking for test knitters for the Faerie coat in child sizes 3/4 (21~23″ chest), 7~9 (25~28″ chest) and 10~12 (28~30″ chest). For all the details, hop on over to this post. *ETA ~ This test is now over and done. You can find the pattern here. ©Copyright 2012 Jessie Rayot / Jessie At Home All my videos, patterns, charts, photos and posts are my own work. Do not copy them in any way.

Crochet the Week Away

That’s what I have done, in an attempt to get a few non~pattern items into my Etsy shop.

I am hopeful that once I get a decent inventory I will be able to contribute to our down payment fund. I haven’t done much for advertising yet, I will think more on that once I have more to sell. I don’t really want to spend money on the advertising, so I am going to have to get creative. I’ve been enjoying crocheting the days away. Though the motivation to get it done is a bit stressful. I put a small inventory for sale at InsaniTea, also.

I do plan on getting back to the patterns on Wednesday. The pattern I am working on right now is the faerie coat, and it should take a good week to finish making Vada’s and editing the pattern as I go. Then I still need to have it tested in the other sizes, which should take about a month (ugg). At least once it is being tested I can go onto making my next pattern.

Announcing!!!

My Etsy shop opening!! I hope to add more patterns soon. Maybe even some non~pattern creations, too! ©Copyright 2012 Jessie Rayot / Jessie At Home All my videos, patterns, charts, photos and posts are my own work. Do not copy them in any way.

Testing, testing, 123

I have decided to focus!! I have so many knit and crochet designs floating around in my head, and I do have the skill to turn those designs into patterns. Every once and a while I write one up and put it up here and/or on Ravelry. Considering our current issues with coming up with over 10 grand for a down payment on a house, it seemed as though this might be the time to buckle down. Ravelry offers a great opportunity for me to find many talented yarnie folk who will test a pattern instead of paying money for one. I have started testing through my Yarrrn Club group over there. So far I have only started testing one, kind of as a testing test ;^) *ETA, I am now running my tests in a secret group on Facebook.

This is the pattern that is currently being tested, in knit. Tomorrow morning

Busy little me.

This was a very handmade holiday. Lots of pirate~y hats for various little (and not so little) ones.
