Giveaway: Two Kinds of Homespun

by

homespun giveaway

Congratulations to Lisa!

If you’re a knitter or crocheter on Instagram, you might have noticed the hashtag #getyouryarnwishesgranted. This is something that started around this time last year and I was so excited to see it back this year.

It’s been going on for several days now, and it’s such a lovely thing. Knitters and other yarn crafters put out into the world something they’re wishing for — specific yarn, project bags, patterns, etc. — and another knitter grants their wish. The idea is that you grant a wish and then you can ask for something, and continue to do so as long as you like.

I’ve granted three wishes so far and I always love doing it, so I thought I’d share a little yarn love over here this week.

I’m giving away the lot above, which is three balls each of Lion Brand Homespun and Homespun Thick & Quick, both in the colorway Tudor (one of the Thick & Quick skeins is missing its ball band, but as far as I know it’s at least pretty close to a full skein).

If you’d like a chance to have this yarn come to you, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, December 13. I’d love to know if you have any yarn craft related wishes this year, or if you participated in #getyouryarnwishesgranted. I’m ourdailycraft on Instagram if you’re over there and want to give me a follow, by the way.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
