Lots of wonderful things for the middle of spring!Â
Rain painting! Perfect for today, actually, a rainy day here in Toronto. I love the pattern it makes when paint reacts to water. By Views From My Window.
Â
A knit octopus plush from the ever wonderful Purl Bee. Love the texture on the underside of the tentacles.Â
Â
Ohmygoodness can anything be cuter than this? Pancake blanket with butter pat friend!!! *squeal* Pattern for sale by the always fabulous Twinkie Chan! (I’m a huge fan!!)
Â
I don’t know where to buy the spray dye kit but love the way that awesome twist pattern is made! From I Love to Create.
Â
Mike’s wonderful co-worker forwarded this to me (thank you, Anne!) — a neck kraken scarf! Pattern for sale on Knit Pick. Check out the rest of the Cryptozoology collection too! I downloaded the kraken wallpaper for my phone :D
Â
Isn’t this so pretty? Pattern generously shared by Handy Kitty on Ravelry.
Â
Fuzzy animals, by wrapping yarn around plastic animals. Isn’t that brilliant? And very cute! Look at the grey dog with the party confetti on him! From Homework.
Â
Lovely leaf print pendant by Happy Hour Projects.
Â
Simple and sweet! Watermelon coaster pattern by Make and Takes.
Â
 This has a Life After People kind of feel to it. Toy truck planter spotted on Junk Market Style.
Â
And finally, have a look at Fiddle Oak’s photostream. Has many of my favourite things — flying, origami, acorns… It’s wonderfully imaginative and simply magical.
Â
May your weekend be filled with wonders and crafty goodness!

Thanks for sharing! These are awesome!
Oh, such delightful finds! As always :-). I hope you make that beautiful top; it’s so you!!! And that pancake with the pat of butter? Honestly, I got teary-eyed when I saw it. We had pancakes this morning; maybe that’s why? Fuzzy animals, a beautiful leaf print? It’s all wonderful.
I crocheted a little wristlet last night from a pattern on Ravelry; used thick/thin wool so the stitch definition is faded. If I don’t use it much as a wristlet it will work great to hold small yarn as I crochet.
i’m glad you like them! :D
thanks nancy! your comment just gave me an idea for some fabric scraps that aren’t enough to make a square top! i think they would be perfect for the crochet top! the pancake is indeed lovely. i especially love the butter pat friend :D happy crafting!
