Don’t Mess With Crafters!
This is why you never tease a crafter. We can be pretty devious.

What a sweet idea.
Yet again, Stephanie Dosen of Tiny Owl Knits presents something magical for craft-lovers everywhere: a fantasy-inspired charm bracelet, called the Care of Magical Creatures Charm Bracelet.
This includes fifteen charms: Cheshire cat tail, cricket, Gryffindor lion, hummingbird, snitch, Ravenclaw eagle claw, ladybug, house elf sock, lilypad, Slytherin snake, sorting hat, Hufflepuff badger, HP sweater cocoon, a steak, and a Pegasus feather. (Think she’s much of a Harry Potter fan?)
You can go here to buy this super cute charm pack.
I’m a total sucker for crafting books with a theme, and what an amazing theme this one is!
Woodland Knits by Stephanie Dosen is filled with over twenty whimsical, charming patterns that have a fairy tale-like feel, including things like a “Bo Peep Scarf” and a “Changeling Collar”.
You can make a wide variety of pieces, including hand muffs, scarves, hoods, hair ornaments, dusters, purses, mittens, sweaters, ponchos, and even fairy wings.
My favorite? It’s so hard to choose between the Oh My Bear Sweater and the Juniper Wishing Scarf. Both are so cozy, chunky, and chic.
Amazon.com chose Woodland Knits as their top craft book of 2013. Go here or here to grab your own copy!
Chic-a was founded in 2007 by Joanna Reyes. Born out of an idea to create something practical, yet fun and colorful for knitting and crochet projects, Joanna designed and crafted the Quick Draw Project Bag. Responding to immediate popularity, Joanna continued to develop products to meet the growing demand, and out of this, Chic-a was born.
After 10 wonderful years in business and meeting countless amazing people who have helped make this venture possible, the Chic-a offices are closing their doors. Our products will no longer be manufactured, but you can still find some in retail stores. Click here to find one near you.
