Projects, patterns and yarns mentioned in this episode:
Finished objects:
1) Last episode I mentioned that I had wrote up a pattern for a beaded shirt collar (not a Peter Pan collar, but the one you would find on a dress shirt). I gave it a second go and then published it to my blog at https://www.mindandmusecrafts.com for your free access. The collar I am wearing in this episode was hooked using a 3.5 and 3 mm hook with DROPS BELLE unicolour yarn, which is a 53% cotton/ 33 % viscose and 14% linen blend.
2) I worked on a test crochet for Addydae Designs using SIRDAR Snuggly Baby Bamboo; a DK bamboo sourced Viscose and wool blend. The pattern I tested should be available soon.
3) I completed another test knit for my Sweet Crochet Sock design, this time using a cotton blend for socks by Regia in the Tutti Frutti/dragonfruit colorway. I present a pair of shorty socks using this cotton blend (which is self patterning). This version includes a ruffled cuff. The pattern will be available on https://www. mindandmusecrafts.com for the Crochet Circle Sockalong 2018.
4) I shared my FIRST KNIT socks. I followed sockmatitian’s basic sock recipe and used a 80%merino/10% cashmere/10%nylon blend dyed by Little Bean Loves Yarn. Colorway is the Exploding Tardus. I completed them on magic loop using 2.25 mm needles.
5) I have been working on flip flop key chain charms. You can find a tutorial for both patterns on YouTube at https://youtu.be/jgX07BdFxY4 and https://youtu.be/mUQ2-zRipAs . Both tutorials are in Portuguese but have subtitles in English, making them easy to follow.
6) I share the result of a new pattern: a miniature sock. They could serve as a keychain charm or a tree ornament depending on the size of yarn and the size of hook used. The pattern will be written up as a free pattern on my blog in the future.
Works in progress:
1) Sherlock’s Shawl was meant to be an entry for the Summer of Romance 2018 CAL but wasn't finished in time. It is a free pattern by BlushingNewb. It is a pattern for an adult sized scarf that is knit in alternating sections of seed stitch and garter stitch. It is made in a blue colorway to mimic the scarf that Sherlock used throughout the BBC series. I am knitting the scarf in Cascade Yarns Eco + in the Legion Blue (3103) colorway using 4.5 mm circular needles.

2) I share two wool painting that I have been working on. The will be small wool hangings once they are done. The first one is a view of a mermaid sitting on a stone near the ocean. The second is a view of sheep on a meadow.
Dream makes:
I mention wanting to make the Alpaca Love C2C blanket by Jess of makeanddocrew.com.
