It all started when...

I'm a mother, grandmother and college student. I love crochet, knitting and hand dyeing yarn.

I finally did it *Sob* I finally opened an Etsy store for unique surprise packages and I feel like I’m gonna go under but at least I took this step XD:$ This one, the first, is called “The Darling Mori Girl 4-Piece Jewellery and Accessories Package” Please reblog <3 :D

“Made for and by mori girls, this parcel is packaged with love! All jewellery is made of brass or bronze while accessories are made up of delicate lace. This package is made for those who enjoy exploring the woodlands and need the proper look to go with their activities! All of the packaging is recycled. :)

“This package comes with four unique pieces of jewellery and accessories, fantasy histories for each piece, and a coupon for your next purchase from Exquisite Soul Shoppe!

“If you’re a Tumblr blogger, use the tag #ExquisiteSoulShoppe to show off your new goodies and I’ll give you a shoutout to thousands on the former! I’d also like to show my other followers and potential customers the great things inside the surprise packages from the eyes of past customers :)“

I want to take a moment tonight to pass along some information on MY NEW FAVORITE KNITTING TECHNIQUE EVER!

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present… German Short Rows

I like this technique way better than the wrap and turn method, because it’s invisible! That’s right, no awkward loops. Seamless short rows. If you don’t believe me, do yourself a favor and watch the tutorial video above. (The video is not mine, it’s just a very helpful one I found on youtube.)

Watch the video, and then try it! The other thing I love about this is that it’s simple! I watched the video once, slept on it (the idea, not the video or the knitting) and tried it out the next morning without even consulting the video a second time. And trust me when I say I have no short term memory, especially for anything complicated. Who knew such a slight modification could result in such beautiful work?!

I’m modifying the knitted cat pattern I’m working on right now to use German short rows rather than w&t short rows. And I’m tempted to go back and do the same for my knitted bunny pattern before I release it. This is a game-changer.

[stitch-please]

Amazing. I need to try this next time.

I love these socks! I love how the yarn stripes and how they match but don’t match at the same time. Awesome!
