Last Dance With Mary Jane

So I am trying a different Mary Janes pattern today, as I am not having much luck with the previous pattern I posted using a different yarn. The cotton yarn is lovely and breathable but a bit tough on the feet, LOL! So I am using Rico Kids Classic Aran yarn, it is beautiful and very soft, but works up much much smaller. So even when I increased the rows in the pattern, I couldn't get the sizing right. I am trying this pattern today and I am going to size it up as I go, using my own feet as the person I am making them for has similar sized feet :) Here's hoping that I get the required results with this one :) I'll keep you posted!


Blessed Be! )O(

Time for Voodoo!

When you find out that someone you have known for nearly 20 years, is actually someone you didn't know at all, it's tremendously sad really. And that's what has happened to me this weekend. Perhaps I am karmically tying up loose ends? Anyway I know this blog entry probably sounds rather cryptic, LOL! But as you can gather from the title, I think it is time to make another Voodoo dolly, this time for myself. Not an effigy to stick pins in, that is not my style. But I need to do some banishing of bad residual energy, and so I am going to make a doll to help me. Any ideas of how to embellish or what to include? Post in the comments below :) I will upload pictures when it is finished.


Hopefully all the unpleasantness is out of the way, and so far I have had a rather pleasant day! I hope you all have too!


Blessed Be )O(
