Rosie Recycle Upcycled Dolls

Day 72 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms-
I have always loved making dolls.

I am a dyed in the wool upcycler, so using upcycled things in my doll making is really important to me.

My ‘Rosie Recycle’ dolls are ‘pin dolls’ that have pins on the backs of their heads so they can be hung on a curtain, worn on a lapel or hat, or pinned to bag or backpack.

Their bodies are jointed from the neck so they ‘dance’.

I love them 🙂 They are so much fun to make!

When I wrote the instructions, I didn’t include lucet cords, but the Rosie Recycle dolls can definitely be made with lucet cords as well as spool knitters.

There are instructions for crocheted as well as knitted versions in the PDF pattern book. The pattern is in my etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/43880591/rosie-recycle-dolls-pattern-ebook-pdf

Adding Good Luck and Good Wishes to Emotional Support Lucet Snails

Days 61 and 62 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- a comment on my previous video about the Lucet Emotional Support Snails that said that pennies are not made anymore.

Ah! BUT there are lots of ways of putting Good Wishes into the Emotional Support/Comfort/Sweet Dreams Snails- and I have made a little video that shows how 🙂

I have updated the pattern for the Emotional Support Snails so that people who don’t have pennies to include in the Snails can still put in all kinds of good wishes and good luck.

The pattern for the Snails is at: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4492525912/pdf-pattern-for-lucet-cord-sweet-dreams

and a new video showing how I added good wishes to the new little Emotional Support Snail in the pics is at https://youtu.be/sau3CVsJJbU

Sweet Dreams Emotional Support Snails to make with a Lucet

Days 44 to Day 59 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms-

It has taken me ages to get it done, but I have finally uploaded a pdf pattern with step by step instructions and photos on how to use a Lucet to make ‘Sweet Dreams/Emotional Support/Comfort Snails.

(The Pattern for them is available at: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4492525912/pdf-pattern-for-lucet-cord-sweet-dreams)

Snails? Yes!

Adorable, cuddly little Snails!

For weeks, I dreamt about these charming little ‘Emotional Support’, ‘Comfort’ Snails and they really did make Sweet Dreams!

They showed up in liminal dappled and speckled spaces.

They offered me comfort and guidance and spoke of the shadows that flicker in the places that are growing-when the breezes flit through the sunshine, whispering of greening new hope, love and light.

They delight me- I hope that they will offer you sweet dreams, and emotional support and comfort, too!

Throughout the amazing Artemis 2 Moon Mission, I worked away with my Lucet, experimenting to find ways of refining these snuggly Snails.

In one of the dreams that I had about these little Lucet Snails, they said that the Artemis Astronauts took us to the moon and back and showed us that we are all really made of stardust and love….

So the Sweet Dreams/Emotional Support /Comfort Snails have both hearts and stars on them so we will remember that lovely thought!

They also have Lucky Pennies inside them so they will always carry good luck and best wishes with them.

There is a link in the pattern for a how to video that has step by step instructions on how to make an upcycled chopstick Lucet.

Day 42 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- How to Make a Lucet from Upcycled Chopsticks and How to Make Lucet Cord with it

One of the unexpected bonuses of doing the 100 Day Project is that it reminds me of things that I have designed and then set aside and forgotten.

One of those things is the delightful Lucet Cord maker (Lucets are flat 2 peg spool knitters) that I use upcycled chopsticks to make. They are such a pleasure to work with and I love making cord with them.

Here is the link to the video tutorial: https://youtu.be/xvGmJgq72Mg

Days 36- 39 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- Lots Going on- just not posting

This photo looks chaotic, right? Well that’s because it is an almost accurate picture of some of the ‘lots going on’ in my life right now.

I’m still doing the 100 day project, but I have to adapt and adjust to HOW I do it.

So, while I am dealing with all kinds of things, I don’t have the energy to make videos or complete the pattern for several projects that I am excited about.

C’est la vie and Que sera sera….. so I will continue to design and when I have more ‘spoons’ (energy) available, I will catch up with myself and get those videos and patterns done.

And, until then, it’s slowly, gently, slowly…. but sending big hugs all round ❤

Until then, please go to my Etsy shop to buy pdf patterns for fun spool knitted projects:

Here’s a list of useful links to videos that I have made about ways of using spool knitted and luceted cord. (Lucets are flat 2 peg spool knitters))
