We all have it, we all snicker about it.
Fun Fur.
Whether it’s eyelash, boucle, or just generally furry, it’s hard to find projects for novelty yarn.
With a sweet face, spiraling horns, and delightfully rotund body, Friendsheep by Cate Carter-Evans
lets you transform your novelty and textured yarns into sweet, fleecy little friends.
Pattern available on Ravelry; more info at infinitetwist.com
Have you ever had to frog because you forgot a step several rows back? Or lost your spot because you dropped your magnet board or lost track with your highlighter tape? Instead of wrestling with paper, use the knitCompanion app. It keeps you on track so you can knit more and frog less. knitCompanion works with ALL your patterns and is available for apple, android and kindle fire devices.
Handwashing is more important than EVER these days. If your skin is getting dry like mine, you need to check out LoLoBody.com. LoLo Body Care has the most effective, long-lasting, best smelling moisturizers available. LoLo was made for the skin you’re in. It deeply moisturizes and penetrates skin which means- it lasts through multiple hand washings. And the LoLo bar comes in a fabulous tin that you can recycle or refill when empty. With over 30 different scents and two sizes, it will be hard to choose just one! Check out LoLoBody.com.
