wire crochet kits

imperial wire crochet kit, originally uploaded by ebbandflo_pomomama.

New wire crochet kits will be appearing in my Etsy shop in the next week. Stay tuned for candy pinks (tinned copper with pink beads), ginger (copper wire with fiery beads), forget-me-not blues (silver wire with pastel blues) and the all-new imperial purples (tinned copper with a rich purples mix).

Kits will include wire, bead mix and crochet hook with step-by-step instructions (plus illustrations) and a simple wire hook clasp to complete.

So for those who cannot attend my wire crochet classes, this might just be the next best thing (or as a solution for what to get the crafty crafter in your life as gift!)

A definite one-of-a-kind project, and possibly the start of a new hobby?

Note: these are already available in my Artfire studio.

pace hots up for portable crafting

collection of portable crafting projects to go

As personal time runs out I rely more and more on making my crafting portable so I can pull out a project to work on while I'm running errands or doing the mum stuff. I'll be selling at the spring Got Craft? fair at the Legion Hall (on Commercial Drive @ E6th Avenue in Vancouver, 11am to 5pm) on Sunday, May 3rd so I have some prep to do for this. I also have a birthday to get ready for - somehow I don't think that even if I knit like the wind will I have the sweater top left ready for wrapping. I'm onto the armhole shaping on the front, having completed the back and one sleeve so it would be a possibility if I didn't also have a million other tasks to complete.

For the first time at a craft fair I'll have some supplies to sell. I have spare wire beads in addition to the wire crochet cuff kits to put out on the table so come on down all you DIY'ers.
