"Wind Dancing Wind Chimes"

I made this wind chime out of vintage jewelry for a Ravelry friend in memory of her mom. I also wrote a poem to go with it based on information my friend sent me about her mom...

Your Panties Rock!

Don’t get your panties in a knot. Unless your felting fiber rocks...
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

1. Bag of office supply style rubber bands.
2. Old pantyhose (if you use fishnet stockings, they will make a cool fiber indentation in your rocks).
3. Yarn that can be felted.
4. Washing machine with a HOT cycle.
5. Laundry soap. 
6. See note below 
7. *Optional, bells to put inside your yarn balls before felting them.

**Optional, I used rubber stamp/ink pad to use as a guide for my needle felted word "KNIT" on one of my rocks.
If you decide to do this technique, only stamp one letter at a time because the ink will smear while you are needle felting each letter.

HERE'S HOW:
1. Gather up leftover yarn that will felt. Enough to make the size rock you are seeking. Remember
that there will be shrinkage.
2. Make sure that the yarn you use is a natural fiber that can be felted.
3. Make sure that you wind your yarn into tight little balls or big balls, it doesn't matter. Size is irrelevant.
4. Then grab a pair or two of some old pantyhose.
5. Take the yarn balls to be felted and start to knot them into your panties like the photo's to the right.
on the right. You will need lots of rubber bands to tie them with. Make sure your not wearing your panties at the time…
6. When all your balls are knotted up, throw them into the washing machine on the hottest cycle.
Run them through the whole washing cycle to get as much water out as possible. If they aren't felted enough after just one wash, do it again until your satisfied with your rocks.
7. Let them dry. Completely… Drying time will depend on the yarn and the size of the rock.
Display them as is, needle felt them, or use them as a pin cushion. Whatever you choose. Your
Panties Rock!
*NOTE
This is a PM I received from one of our creative minded Ravelry member PamelaBee. I thought the idea was brilliant and asked if I could add it as a bonus to this project.
She said of course, so here it is:
PamelaBee said: Just a random thought (you get a lot of these when you get older). If you stuff a bell inside your initial ball of yarn, you can transform these into cat toys and give them to cat-owning people who have severely hacked you off. The constant tinkly noise will get on their nerves but they’ll be stuck with it because it will, of course, become the cat’s favourite toy… :)
I said: Pamela, your brilliant. Can I post this with my pattern and of course you get full credit your name included? I love your way of thinking. Hugs, Gail
PamelaBee said: Course you can - glad it raised a smile. I’ve seen a similar type of ball at our local County Show and the lady had put beads inside one of those little plastic containers that Kinder Eggs come in - (don’t know if you have those in the US but any tiny plastic container will do just to increase the noise level) and stuck it inside the ball before winding and felting. You would then have a double whammy and combine the torture with both cat and baby … :)
I said: LOL, I’m going to edit my pattern right now with your add on. Hugs, Gail

Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted
Cascade Yarns 220 Wool
Noro Kureyon
CROCHET/KNITTING
Instruction’s for your “FFFFF” garden.
Preparation for your room divider:

You should first sand the area you are going to use for your “FFFFF” garden. I used a fine grade of sandpaper and lightly sanded the area I was doing as I went along. (I didn’t want open areas to be sanded and dull looking). If you are going to do any painting on the divider, do that first. The painting thought came to me as an after thought, I did however attempt to paint around the garden.NOT A GOOD IDEA…

I then went through all my mishaps, frogged or just unused felted knitted or crocheted projects from my stash. (thrift stores are also a great resource for old knitted/crocheted sweaters, blankets, etc.). *Important note: when buying used items that your not sure of their fiber content, please be sure to read all labels to make sure they can be felted. If there are no labels, make sure to test a section before cutting the fabric.

If you are going for a specific color theme, then try to coordinate that ahead of time before cutting and gluing your “FFFFF” onto the divider.

I then cut them into petal shapes for the flowers.(you can use stencils or cookie cutters for any shape you choose)

For the stems, I basically did the exact same thing, except I cut long strips from my leftover recycled wool and then rolled them and scrolled them to form the stems. You can also use I-cords to achieve a 3D effect for the stems or the flowers.

A FABULOUS WAY TO PLANT A GARDEN

I used just a regular craft glue. Alene’s put’s out some really great glues. Here is a site that has different types of glues for all types of projects: www.beaconcreates.com/cchart.html

Bazillion Bullion Bag

Bazillion Bullion Bag
Originally uploaded by adhd_knitting

I have OCD to thank for this one. Yes, I learned how to make “bullion's” and I decided to take about 50 skeins of Kureyon yarn by Noro and separate the colors. Yes I separated all the colors to make these “bullion's”. I know some of you may not believe this but by the time I finished crocheting all these “bullion's” I had over 1,000 beautifully separated color coordinated “bullion's” crocheted of separated Noro yarn. How do I know there were over 1,000, well one of my sons and I counted every single one of them. Then we separated them into piles of each matching color. After this long process, I still didn’t know what I wanted to do with all these wonderfully separated color coordinated crochet “bullion's”. I placed them in the corner and just looked at them for a while until I came up with this fabulous bag. I love it. I don’t know if I will be making any more “bullion's” for awhile, though.

Pattern from
ADHD KNITTING

There are two ways to create this bag.
1st Option:
You can recycle an old knitted or crocheted bag from boring to extraordinary. Just by revamping your bag to create your own “Bazillion Bullion” bag. That is how I made the original bag. The bag was a friends who asked me to spice it up, and well, let’s just say I went a bit OCD and I’m glad I did.
In the pictures to the left you can see the original brown bag as it was given to me.

Bullion Pattern:
Depending on the size of the bag you are going to use will depend on how many bullion’s you are going to have to crochet. In the bag I made I used approx. 200 bullion’s including enough for the strap.
Follow this link to understand how to create the bullion’s.
www.healmyhands.com/how_to/bullion_stitch.html

After you have crocheted all your bullion’s, you will now need to sew (darn) them all together. I made 10 rows of 15 bullion’s across. Neatness or evenness isn’t that important.
When you have your bullion cover completely sewn together you will now sew it to the front of your knitted or crochet bag. After you have done this you will add a border of bullion’s in an uneven fashion to add that extra interest to your bag. (look at the border in the pictures to the left to see how I did the bottom bullion’s. I then lined my bag, (my girlfriend actually did the lining) she is an amazing experienced seamstress. I used two different fabrics to compliment the colors of my bag. Batik is the main fabric and then I used a Embroidered Sheer chartreuse fabric for the inside of the pocket. I then added magnetic snaps (optional) across the top of my bag and finished off the strap with approx. 30 more bullion’s. On the strap I didn’t bother to sew them together first as I did on the bag. I sewed them directly onto the strap itself. I could of done the same thing with the bag, but I found it much easier and quicker to sew it together first. I did not sew the bullion cover to the bottom of the bag. I like how it hangs. You’ll see when you do it yourself. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this technique.

2nd Option: is to knit or crochet your own bag:
Here’s the pattern for a basic generic knitted bag:
You will need:
2 ball of Iceland Crystal Palace Yarns
US 13 needles straight or circulars:*

Actually you can use any yarn or size needle you like, depending on the yarn you are going to use, and the size you are going to make. The bag pattern I posted is just a Basic bag pattern to give you an idea. I also felted my bag just a bit to give it better structure and more stability. You can only do this if you are using a natural yarn that can be felted. Be sure to refer to the yarn label.
Bag Pattern:
CO 40 sts.
Work garter stitch for the entire bag until piece measures 20”. Then BO stitches loosely. Fold bag in half and seam both sides together.
Strap:
US 13 and Iceland
CO 4 sts. and work garter stitch until strap measures your desired length, and BO. I worked mine approx. 30”.
Sew strap to each corner of the bag and put aside.
Now work your crochet bullion pattern as listed in the tutorial link given above.
Then follow the directions above to complete your fabulous “Bazillion Bullion” bag…

"Indian River Poncho"

"Indian River Poncho"

This poncho can be knit to any size just by changing the amount of stitches you cast on, and on the amount of rows you choose to knit.
You can use this basic pattern as a guide.

Here's how to knit this super fast and easy poncho:
This poncho is worked in three panels.
1st panel: With US 13 needles and any variegated (preferably hand dyed yarn)
CO-30 sts. wk. st.st. for 15" BO
2nd panel: CO 50 sts. wk exactly the same as panel 1.
3rd panel: CO30 sts. rep. as panel 1.

After you have finished all 3 panels you will now seam them up in the same order 1,2,3.
Seaming instructions:
Starting at bottom (pick an end) and on the RS sew panel1 to panel 2 for 12" then leave 8" opening for armhole, then cont. sewing to the end of the panel. Rep. this with the other panel. Sewing panel 3 to panel 2.

Now with the right side facing you, pick up 110 sts. across.
Bottom portion which is the part where you sewed 12" tog.
Work st.st. for rows 1-4
Eyelet rows are worked throughout rows 5-7 except on the purl side do everything purlwise.
Row -5 purl
Row -6 knit
Eyelet Row -7 work as follows:
Knit 1, k2tog, yo, k4, k2tog, yo, rep. to end.
Row -8 Knit even.
BO.

Top (collar portion)
With wrong side facing you, pick up 110 sts. and work approx. 8"-10" or about 30 rows.
Next you are going to knit the eyelet row as you did for the bottom portion of the poncho.
Knit one row even.
BO
Now you are going to make your fringes. (that's why you knitted the eyelet rows, the fringes will be knotted through each eyelet. I made my fringes longer on the bottom then the top, I also braided some of my fringes on the top (collar) area. Simple and easy and ready to wear.

R U READY!!! Magic Yarn Ball

The days are getting longer and hotter. That’s right….Summer isn’t far away! And we’re going to celebrate by having a Magic Yarn Ball (MYB) Swap. I am honored to be your hostess for this swap and am looking forward to our all having a wonderful time.

WHAT is a MYB Swap, you ask? It is just like any other swap except this time the goodies are IN THE YARN. It is a gift-filled treasure. Instead of making a little package, full of wonderful little things, you buy a skein, ball, or hank of yarn (50grms if you participate in the $10,$15,$20 a 100grms if you go for the $25). Then, you start rolling it into a ball. As you go, you wind all the little treats up into the ball! You can hide everything, so it’s all a surprise, or you can leave little bits peeking out to offer a taste of what’s to come. Then you ship it off…with the label from the yarn, of course! The goodies you wrap in might include anything from very special single buttons or beads to little sets of stitch markers, tapestry needles, or very special bits of vintage ribbon and fabric. Round toys such as super balls or homemade bottle cap pincushions make excellent centers for starting your ball.

What could be more wonderful a hot summer day than sitting in the shade (or inside in the air conditioning) with YARN, STITCH MARKERS in your favorite COLORS, perhaps a special pattern, and lots of little goodies selected just for you and knitting up something special for yourself?

This is a simple, anonymous swap (you aren’t required to be anonymous but it does make for much fun). You will have one person you will send a “MYB” package tailored just for them, and a different person from whom you should receive a package tailored to you. We will have several cost categories for you to select from. You can make items or add more if you like, but this is not required. Registration for the swap will end on MAY 8th. Additionally, this swap does NOT require that you knit something for your swap partner! As ADHD knitters, we probably all have piles of projects OTN, or headed that way. We don’t wish to add to that “to knit” list by requiring you to knit something for your partner. This swap is more about the supplies to enable us to knit something ourselves (or someone special) and little goodies.

When you receive your package from your swap partner, make sure that you contact them and let them know that the items have arrived safely. ALSO post that you received your package in this thread (and IDEALLY some images to share with us as well…cause who doesn’t love yarn porn?).
If you don’t think you can meet these requirements (those just mentioned as well as meeting shipping dates, etc), please do NOT join the swap. Following these rules are essential for making the swap a pleasant experience for all concerned.

Following are the important swap dates:
Registration Opens: IMMEDIATELY
Registration Closes: MAY 8th
Swap Partner Names Sent: by MAY 11th
Package Postmark Date: Packages must be postmarked by June 5th.

Happy Swapping everyone and thanks for joining us on this!

I never know what will go where until it happens. T hat is the great mystery of design. Here is some of the wonderful treasures I just received from a dear sweet Ravelry friend.

CAN ANYONE PLEASE MAKE ME A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE

What can be so difficult about making a really good cup of coffee. I have 3 coffee makers and yet I still haven't adopted the skills to make a decent cup of coffee. I have tried for years to achieve that Four Star restaurant coffee. You know the cup of coffee that is served to you after a really deliocus dinner with really great people that you enjoy being with. Whaa whaa whaa, OK forget the dinner the family the friends. I just want a really good, no GREAT cup of coffee...Is that too much to ask. Any suggestions feel free to post.

It has arrived...

My computer is home at last. Boy, what the heck did we do before we all had all the luxuries of electronics. Better yet, our kids would be clueless, (or maybe not). Well I'm just happy to have a computer here at last...

This is Total BS...

This is ridiculous...I have been waiting for my computer and it still isn't ready. What on earth are they waiting for. Tell me it will be ready today, PLEASE...

The True Missing Link…This project has been extremely interesting. I used the original “MY EX” pattern as a base. I then did all the facial features by needle felting them. I used roven wool for the hair. The ear plugs we’re made by using large size stitch markers (plastic) as a base. I then crocheted them. For the opening of the mouth. I cut a hole. Then I created the mouth, lips and teeth. For the crown around the base of the bag. I took a left over piece of felt and cut it in a long straight piece. Then I cut triangles on the top part. I sewed that to the forehead. I then took more roven wool and completed the hair piece. Braiding three uneven braids in the front. The embellishings are endless. Oh and I almost forgot the barbell nose ring. Now we can’t forget about that…The handle is being made by using the same tecnique I used for the earplugs.

I am so happy to know that the Curbing Kit and the PBS (pill bottle swap) boxes are on it's way. I always feel a bit overwhelmed when I know I have a time limit. I am the type of person that usually waits till the last moment and then gets it all done. Not with sales but with my swaps etc. So I have a great feeling of accomplishment today that all my obligations for now are up to date. How boring is this post...

It is almost dried. That is the pill bottle for my Pill Bottle Swap recipient. I have everything ready to go inside and with it. Just waiting for the sealer to dry. I hope she likes what I',m sending. This 2ND Annual PBS is a mystery exchange this time. I like that better. I think it makes it extra special for the person who is giving and receiving. I can't post to many pics yet, I don't want to give it away who I'm sending too. I will post some pics soon.

BLA BLA BLAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just keeping things going as best as I can...I have been working out harder then ever, OK well not harder then ever, but more then I have been. Spring is here, and summer is just a few pounds away. Gotta reach the goal I set for myself this winter. I am almost there. Steady girl.

The Left Brain Is Alive

No words to explain how I did what I did yesterday. In fact even if there were words I wouldn't be able to write them down. Why you say, because I have no idea how I did what I did. Huh! I know that this will only make sense to the people who this will only make sense too. You know, those people, you people ( not a racial slur, ask me about that if you want to know what I'm talking about . That's another story in itself. Just mention San Bernadino, CA. Paintball tournament. Designated parent for a bunch of stinky teenage boy's). I actually came out of a Left Side Brain Coma. No disrespect to any person suffering or has someone suffering from a coma. I had to put that in. I just had too. I figured out an actual technical thingy on my Ravelry site. It took me nearly 4 hours, Adderall, and a lot of WTF, or HTF (how the F bomb), did I get here or there. I got there and that is the point. I probably will never know how to get there again, but I know that I was capable of figuring something out, that comes so easy to other people without a doubt.

Don't ask me why,because I don't know. I woke up at 5:00, thought it was time to go. I sat up and starred at the cable box clock. Thinking, my G-d, oh I must go get dressed. Running late will ruin my day, cause Monday's important. It is our TRASH DAY.

Dried and Chapped

My hands, that is. Today I feel as if I have accomplished a task that was so long over due. Not completely accomplished, but for sure put a big dent in it. My Mom and I rolled up our sleeves and pulled out bags and bags of yarn that was is need (and deserving) of being sorted and separated. I enjoyed seeing all the yarn that I had long forgotten about. I am so stunned at how much yarn I really had/have. I will be ready to post some of these yummy yarns as soon as my med's kick in again. Till that happens over and out.

Have I told my friends...

how much they mean to me. The friends I'm talking about, know exactly who they are. I appreciate their friendships, their honesty, their support, their understanding and most of all the goodness and decency that they share among one another. I truly feel blessed to have these wonderful friendships in my life. So for you my dear friends, I thank you...

Here Comes the Flower Girl

I designed these one of a kind knitted, felted, and embellished bags with one thought in mind, The Big Day. That is the Wedding Day. Brides put so much effort and thought into every aspect of that special day. Right down to the smallest of details. So I thought why not make something special and unique for your Flower Girl, the Bridesmaids, the Mother of the Bride or Mother-in-law to be. Maybe even you The Bride.
