The Worst Witch inspired Drop Stitch Scarf

on October 27, 2018

Get ready for your first day at Miss Cackles Academy with a The Worst Witch inspired Drop Stitch Scarf! Knit with chunky yarn and big needles, this scarf is an excellent weekend project!

…. Climbs out from under a rock….Hi! Hey! I missed you! I know I promised that this blog wouldn’t go anywhere but honestly, I’ve been overwhelmed. The good news is, I can now tell you every single bone in your body, the parts of those bones and the muscles attached to them. I’m both overwhelmed and feeling super educated.

Speaking of school… Have you guys watched The Worst Witch on Netflix? I’ve been a bit in love with Mildred – yes, she makes really dumb decisions but her heart is in the right place! I also think I’m pretty much Maude Spellbody – I have a low confidence in my own ability but I’m actually pretty smart (things I’ve learned in school!) and fiercely loyal and defensive of people I love. So yeah, The Worst Witch.

MAKE IT: Crochet Haunted Mansion Pillow

One of my favorite scenes in the show though, is when Mildred arrives at the school for the first time in her uniform. Everything is new and she’s maybe a bit uncoordinated. It definitely gives me first day of school vibes! At this point, I fell in love with her scarf – the one her mother made that definitely reminds me of some of my first knitting projects – and the way she defended it from Ethel because her mother worked so hard to make it.

MAKE IT: DIY Harry Potter Mini-Notebooks

I made this scarf a year ago and did all the things but I got super behind and forgot about it. Its knitted in a simple garter stitch (knit) with drop stitches every so often – check out the pattern- and uses a chunky yarn so it knits up super quick!

How to Knit a Beanie on Straight Needles

on February 17, 2016
Sometimes I get bored and make things. Hence the reason I started a blog!

 

Okay, so recently I tried to KonMari my house, or at least my craft stash, because at this point it was taking over my house. I got rid of some fabric, notions, random odds and ends, projects that I was never going to finish, etc. But I just couldn’t part with my yarn knowing that I could do a few stash busters and make a ton of small projects. Yarn tends to spark joy. There’s just so many possibilities!

 

Do you have any project supplies that you just can’t part with?
