    Optional Opportunities Abound...

    Your knit and crochet patterns for Spring don't have to limit you or your wardrobe options. Remember to consider the weight and color of your yarn, embellishments like buttons, or any trim that you might add whenever you start a new project. Look at what is already in your closet and the items that you will be using in the coming months for inspiration. Think of ways you can incorporate your projects into Autumn and possibly Winter, depending on your climate.

    I recently finished a project called Sea Breeze Top (crochet pattern available as a free download from LionBrand) that I had put on hold for a few months. It gave me time to think about possibilities for this top beyond the beach and hot summer days. The Sea Breeze top is made with durable, yet comfortable, Cotton Ease in Violet (color 191). I considered adding a lightweight shrug or longsleeved wrap to change it up a bit and allow for some flexibility on when and where this top could be worn. It would also look cute over a lightweight longsleeved tee or turtleneck for cooler days.

    Hopefully, today's blog will spark an idea or two and help you stay creative, consider all of your options and enjoy each and every project you make.

  • Etsy Opportunity!

    This morning I woke up to see an adorable free download from Etsy shop owner, Ariana Couvinha of Etsy shop Couve on the Etsy Blog. Etsy will feature an artist's redesign of their Twitter profile and the wallpaper download will be available to download to your desktop or mobile device. It's a great way to enjoy the Etsy love, and also a chance to be featured. Read all about the artist and find out how to get your free download ...

    I hope you'll stay creative, support art and artists, and always look for the fun opportunity just waiting around the corner...
