Kill This Year!

Out with the old and in with the new. All of my patterns in my Ravelry store are 50% off until midnight tonight (EST) no code required.

If you're thinking about taking up crochet, or if you're always looking for interesting, usable, and affordable patterns, you must go check out my store. With this promo, all patterns are $1. That's awesome, right?

Lip Balm Cozies Pattern


These are done in size 10 crochet thread. I use Lizbeth for the multi-colored, or Knit Picks' Curio for the solids, but you can use any size 10 thread you want.







Nicole's Faux-Cabled Cowl


This cowl is a quick stitch. It's also nice and dense, so it'll keep you super-warm. It's worked in worsted-weight, but I've included the info for working it in Aran, as well, to bump up the warmth factor even more.




Maracas Bowls

The Maracas Bowls is my best-selling pattern! Inspired by an idea from a dear friend, this pattern has sold over 50 copies so far, and it's been up for less than a year. Even Knit Picks has it posted for sale on their website. They are fun to work up, and gorgeous to display.

Are you excited yet?

A brand new year starts this Friday, and Rows and Roses will be reopening for business! I'll open the customs list that morning, and also unveil a new special offer (which I am REALLY excited about.) Lots of awesome stuff has happened this year, so here's hoping-- no, expecting!-- that 2016 will blow it right out of the water. I hope everyone has a great last week of 2015. See you in the new year <3

A few things we saw in 2015:


This is my Cate's Wrap, done in Knit Picks lace-weight yarn. It is so drapey and delightful.

I was quite happy that my awesome friend and  fellow metal-head wanted to make one with me. Now we'll be all matchy and adorable together. 
Since I've been on an old-school Manson kick while making this wrap, I've nicknamed it the Anti-Christ Super Shawl. I'm clever and ridiculous like that. I'm so proud.


These woolies were made for the sweetest little girl in the world, my Rosy <3                                            Knitted by me in DBK "Flight of the Fairies."
This colorway had been on my IDSO (in desperate search of) forever, and I finally stumbled across in on a yarn B/S/T board for a great price. I mean, it kinda HAD to be woolies, don't you think?
 Remember the FLASH sale of lip balm cozies we had in November? I couldn't believe how quickly these sold out; I ended up having the make up 4 rounds of them!

I will definitely be having more FLASH sales of this nature for other things throughout the new year, so be sure to keep an eye out in the group.
Here is the blanket that Rosy requested for her Christmas present. Crocheted in Knit Pick's Chroma in discontinued "Misty Morn." I love this yarn so much! Of course, I've always been a sucker for gradients....
 Now this was a FUN project! My Stroll Reference Sampler. Every single solid and heathered color of Stroll sock yarn from Knit Picks, crocheted into hexes with a "key" for matching these colors with other tonals/handpaints/gradients.
My Tall Latte (kinda.) I took some liberties with this pattern to make the sweater in a style I prefer, and know I'll wear. Crocheted by me in Knit Pick's Swish DK (superwash merino) in "Delft Heather." Super-soft and machine washable, can't beat that!
