<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These are my latest collection. Here are the two packs I acquired this week. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Bic Intensity Fine </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They are super fine tip, the colors are pretty. We'll see how long they last. I purchased two 5 packs from staples. You can get them <a href="http://www.staples.com/BIC-Intensity-Permanent-Pens-Fine-Point-Assorted-Fashion-Colors-5-Pack/product_153689" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://www.staples.com/BIC-Intensity-Permanent-Pens-Fine-Point-Assorted-Classic-Colors-5-Pack/product_441210" target="_blank">here</a>. They are also available on amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bic-Intensity-Marker-Assorted-Colors/dp/B00FAJPEN4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1453570231&sr=8-3&keywords=bic+intensity+fine" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Intensity-Permanent-Fine-Assorted-Pack/dp/B00INKHOZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453570231&sr=8-1&keywords=bic+intensity+fine" target="_blank">here</a>, but they are more expensive.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I really needed both packs to get the number of colors I wanted, and even then, I wish I had more.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I do really like the way they write. My days are crisp and clean, except for my mistakes, which are numerous, ha.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is an example of a page written with these pens. Don't mind the ghosting, I plan on choosing a different journal next time around. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Foray Stylemark Fine .5mm pens</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I picked these up at <a href="http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/376593/FORAY-Porous-Point-Pens-Fine-Point/" target="_blank">Officemax</a>. They are also available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AUYDJA/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687542&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00F63T6RE&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=051Z7XDT4FXHEM6WJZ6H" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, but they are more expensive. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is an example with these pens. Less ghosting, but not due to pens. There is just far less written on the opposite page. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmIPfX16srEUqMyJwztH8OeqYOZ0nlSzqzA9b2ZifxaKOdsZJDVG37JHUjkURLvJ807a9AvWi92I_KqZGL_EFEdnLWykN7XraX6aon1y2yQXuOkHpbDjlrdDtq3qDwAnj0T8Bl5cBq3Cnz/s1600/IMG_1614.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmIPfX16srEUqMyJwztH8OeqYOZ0nlSzqzA9b2ZifxaKOdsZJDVG37JHUjkURLvJ807a9AvWi92I_KqZGL_EFEdnLWykN7XraX6aon1y2yQXuOkHpbDjlrdDtq3qDwAnj0T8Bl5cBq3Cnz/s640/IMG_1614.JPG" width="480" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The colors are bold and pretty. They do feather a bit more than the Bic intensity. I really like both and have been using both sets in my bullet journal all week long. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tell me friends, what are your favorite pens to use in your journal? Have you found the perfect pen? Does it even exist, or are we all chasing unicorns? </span><br />

Then I was thinking about how people have told me my handwriting looks super uniform (of course I can see room for improvement, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist). That led me to wonder, how do people make handwriting fonts? I jotted it down to explore this morning. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9lME4GxHiq5bQIlXAK6UBEBjoML5mYf2HT0Ftj_NyeTgSq9H1ZZeXufBqs82MrMKDEfLnQiNTUOHIfOfuMuDBkOPlX2gfaM0IHVkLVrgE_SW4V-5p7rIN1VdM7YMAla0a2HggF4L098pA/s1600/fontexample2.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9lME4GxHiq5bQIlXAK6UBEBjoML5mYf2HT0Ftj_NyeTgSq9H1ZZeXufBqs82MrMKDEfLnQiNTUOHIfOfuMuDBkOPlX2gfaM0IHVkLVrgE_SW4V-5p7rIN1VdM7YMAla0a2HggF4L098pA/s640/fontexample2.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is how you can do it! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.myscriptfont.com/">http://www.myscriptfont.com/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This website turns your handwriting into a font. The best part, they do it for FREE! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's super easy, first you download and print this worksheet: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_1447142264"><br /></a></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.myscriptfont.com/res/ScriptTemplate.pdf">http://www.myscriptfont.com/res/ScriptTemplate.pdf</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Make sure you print it in grayscale or black and white. It turns out much better. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then fill it out using a black medium felt tip pen. I used my handy dandy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Medium-Point-Black-1763810/dp/B0039MIFX0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453662870&sr=8-1&keywords=sharpie+pen+med" target="_blank">sharpie pen medium</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then scan your worksheet at 300-600dpi. I tried using my phone the first time and it was a disaster. I broke out the scanner and it worked beautifully. Here is my scan set at 300 dpi. When I tried to use the 600 setting, the image was too large. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMVteDx6Vgxr9OGWJoUCpTvFxohA5fLx9FpXnqQKi7j5vcpty5vuG7ZG8bE6d9L_e2rddxN3XgsmrXbzOLR5SqtUg2rLwcseGUBTh3drqCGClRdGoM_dFgqE8rJAzVbaOCmiG9C1XctXZ/s1600/FONT+ATTEMPT+2+001.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMVteDx6Vgxr9OGWJoUCpTvFxohA5fLx9FpXnqQKi7j5vcpty5vuG7ZG8bE6d9L_e2rddxN3XgsmrXbzOLR5SqtUg2rLwcseGUBTh3drqCGClRdGoM_dFgqE8rJAzVbaOCmiG9C1XctXZ/s640/FONT+ATTEMPT+2+001.jpg" width="464" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The bottom part is blank because they are special characters I didn't need. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you have uploaded your scan, name your font and press the start button.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The program will come up with a preview of your font and a download button. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Download the TTF or OTF file. I used TTF because it was a font file I recognized. I'm not computer handy enough to know the difference. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Click on the downloaded file and a pop up box will appear. Press the 'install' button. Then you can open up word and search for it by name in your fonts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now your font is ready to be shared! To send it to your friends, send them the TTF or OTF file in an email and they can install your font! Amazing! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is an example of my font. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I need to do the worksheet a couple more times to perfect it, but I'm pretty excited with how it turned out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I guess I'll come clean; this wasn't the first time. Haha. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am slightly obsessed with planners, planning, lists, and all things crazy organization. Listing helps alleviate my anxiety about upcoming events and life in general, so I do it often. The wonderful thing I discovered is called Bullet Journalling. <a href="http://bulletjournal.com/get-started/" target="_blank">Here</a> is a link to the site that started it and how to get started. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was so inspired by the following, please take a look, I'm sure you will love them too! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This morning I ran straight out to target to get started. I decided on Moleskine, since they make my favorite journals. The covers are soft and they offer blank, lined, dotted, and quad paper. I chose dotted. I normally would choose quad, but most of the planners I was inspired by were dotted, and I wanted to give something new a try this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.moleskine.com/us/collections/model/product/notebook-large-dotted-underwater-blue-soft" target="_blank">Here </a>is the journal I chose. It's the 5.1"x8.2" soft cover. It has a rubber band to keep it closed and a book marker to keep your page. I love the paper moleskine chooses. It's thin enough to be reasonable, but thick enough to keep ink bleed to a minimum. This one has a pocket in the back to put loose papers or receipts. I think I'll put stickers in there, because who doesn't love stickers. I picked mine up at <a href="http://www.target.com/" target="_blank">Target</a> for about $20. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What coloring and writing utensils do I like? That is a hard question because I love all kinds of different pens and pencils. I want to keep my planner consistent, so I'm going to bag all my writing utensils separate from the bulk of my collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I like these colored pencils for the few things I'll be coloring in, I'll show you some examples further down. I bought my set at <a href="http://walmart.com/" target="_blank">Walmart</a>, but they don't carry them anymore. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Daler-Rowney-coloured-colouring-pencils-assorted/dp/B004BF4RG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452811265&sr=8-1&keywords=daler+rowney+simply+coloured+pencils" target="_blank">Here </a>is a listing on amazon for the ones I like, but you can use any basic set of colored pencils. I don't need that many colors, so right now I'm using a 12 pack. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For writing and heading, There are a couple different products I like. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I really like the Elk Tools Journaling Pens. I bought <a href="http://www.target.com/p/ek-tools-journing-pens-multicolored-8-pk/-/A-17088896?lnk=rec|pdp|related_prods_vv|pdpv1" target="_blank">this </a>set at <a href="http://target.com/" target="_blank">Target </a>for labelling my Christmas card envelopes this year. I love how they turned out. They have a .45mm tip and there are 8 colors. I only wish they had a larger color pack. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also like <a href="http://www.staedtler.us/en/products/ink-writing-instruments/fineliners/triplus-fineliner-334-triangular-fineliner/" target="_blank">these </a>Staedtler fineliner pens. They are my husband's favorite pens, and I like them for a felt tip. Last school supplies season, <a href="http://www.target.com/p/staedtler-20ct-black-fine-tip-felt-tip-marker-pen/-/A-15023371#prodSlot=_1_5" target="_blank">Target </a>had a buy one get one half off, so I got the large color set for myself and my sister. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The last pens I like are the <a href="http://www.target.com/p/sharpie-fashion-assortment-fine-tip-marker-pen-5ct/-/A-14157868#prodSlot=_2_24" target="_blank">Sharpie pens</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also plan on using some Washi tape for marking long term events in my calendar and decorating various pages. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-TJF0SR1tRxfOFgV9lxt4otE4AgRiK20JKqr8I19m1gvkq1RleodvDr5KSKU007E98oQSkSV_DppdB2Ipj8gjqmR15etB_OkYyWJPi82gszfgWO4PeKfjA_ydbmGVWetAvqLoyUkkc3sq/s1600/IMG_1459.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-TJF0SR1tRxfOFgV9lxt4otE4AgRiK20JKqr8I19m1gvkq1RleodvDr5KSKU007E98oQSkSV_DppdB2Ipj8gjqmR15etB_OkYyWJPi82gszfgWO4PeKfjA_ydbmGVWetAvqLoyUkkc3sq/s640/IMG_1459.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now onto my pages... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't think they are perfect, but that is the beauty of this system. If I don't like something this month or this week, I can do it different the following week or month. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started with an Index. This will be a work in progress, as I add pages, I will add to the index. I left two pages for this. I labelled them "I" instead of with a page number. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Page number 1 begins my actual journal. I used this for my Key. I will add key items if I think of any extras later. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3zcnDZSzQPH7zqTa2I7PPic3553aq3Adf2ZGqXJ2BygfjZUeu93Yg43VIPvCiDpuS5zWGU-DFvbPZV1OOJwm8bKbZxoB4D5G2YYUCWUlEXMqKc1uwNsdUvU0qQ_7AnUp2RLG8kwgA8hO0/s1600/IMG_1461.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3zcnDZSzQPH7zqTa2I7PPic3553aq3Adf2ZGqXJ2BygfjZUeu93Yg43VIPvCiDpuS5zWGU-DFvbPZV1OOJwm8bKbZxoB4D5G2YYUCWUlEXMqKc1uwNsdUvU0qQ_7AnUp2RLG8kwgA8hO0/s400/IMG_1461.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pages 2 and 3 are my 2016 Year in Review. I used these pages to document anniversaries, birthdays and holidays. This helps a lot with purchasing Birthday cards and long term planning. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd3sEyK9iE_T8MYB_d3x3HZycF2yWG-5spxfMBg1GNELTqpgYboJpmaqaLBE-XXHkNv_nFRHXhGSRNHxQM8qD907DyA_lKUsMXjANXlg3Vq8ayFfToKRQ6G9dFGOMRmxZe10bDV9Wt03AX/s1600/IMG_1470.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd3sEyK9iE_T8MYB_d3x3HZycF2yWG-5spxfMBg1GNELTqpgYboJpmaqaLBE-XXHkNv_nFRHXhGSRNHxQM8qD907DyA_lKUsMXjANXlg3Vq8ayFfToKRQ6G9dFGOMRmxZe10bDV9Wt03AX/s400/IMG_1470.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pages 4 and 5 are for my January Calendar. I don't want to bog the days down, so they are just for major events. The heavier planning will go in the day to day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0pQgSyGiZHPthigmwz3-u4_YbL_Oes9ZAyiL1Zw7iTIaC0ljjlAV5GoHdt797J7gknN1aQo_PFTHnXjBn3SYMcsmdJ72tJOM9uLV4dSuH-dIurrlgWSd0kDIBMipRdA97734vMwuD_5y/s1600/IMG_1463.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0pQgSyGiZHPthigmwz3-u4_YbL_Oes9ZAyiL1Zw7iTIaC0ljjlAV5GoHdt797J7gknN1aQo_PFTHnXjBn3SYMcsmdJ72tJOM9uLV4dSuH-dIurrlgWSd0kDIBMipRdA97734vMwuD_5y/s320/IMG_1463.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Page 6 is for my January Goals. Here is where I will write items I want to complete this month, but not on an exact day. There are also goals that are collective, like lose 3 lbs, etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi164tMy3bSUIkpowBbJXP1irTJ5rkuIhHGtBn-wNFDTwYgS6V08kvFVwZA8nwP-1BQaayK3DQpy4HV17AU5XQNF2X-JsX_2w3UBeRUaUmTNS1mMxTitW6oQJzgbmgzNG7EXFt_U1Tvjk8k/s1600/IMG_1464.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi164tMy3bSUIkpowBbJXP1irTJ5rkuIhHGtBn-wNFDTwYgS6V08kvFVwZA8nwP-1BQaayK3DQpy4HV17AU5XQNF2X-JsX_2w3UBeRUaUmTNS1mMxTitW6oQJzgbmgzNG7EXFt_U1Tvjk8k/s400/IMG_1464.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Page 7 is my habit tracker. This new year I am trying to form better habits like walking the dog every day without skipping, logging my food in myfitnesspal, and things of that nature. I log those here. I color in each box if I accomplished that task that day. I also added things like "crochet". I like to crochet, and it is also my business, so it will be interesting to look back at the end of the month at the number of days I crocheted. Here is where I used the colored pencils. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFrlVQvnmGJJMEH383aBuPavW9UsbOWiQShn3JXUQm46Oy5UhgMqA7jRavd7DqJGx8Ez-pYVSQa3AvmbyVYPrzMMpcpafkM2oG4eEkchug3c0YSLZo6Td1em-0JT5G-kKt3ttyuwevvorF/s1600/IMG_1465.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFrlVQvnmGJJMEH383aBuPavW9UsbOWiQShn3JXUQm46Oy5UhgMqA7jRavd7DqJGx8Ez-pYVSQa3AvmbyVYPrzMMpcpafkM2oG4eEkchug3c0YSLZo6Td1em-0JT5G-kKt3ttyuwevvorF/s400/IMG_1465.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Starting with page 8 are my daily plans and notes. These include appointments, to-dos, errands, and other notes. I didn't make these a designated size since each day has different demands. There are days I work on my thesis in the lab that I will have several pages of notes and others that are home chore days with just a few bullet points. I also put money I have spent that day in red and money earned in green to help me keep track of business earning and spending at a glance. I will probably create a separate page for this at some point. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">That is as far as I have made it today, but I'll post an update when I move forward with this fun new planning and journaling experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope this will keep everything organized and in one place. I no longer will have a personal journal, crochet, school, thesis, and business. This year I'll keep it all in one place! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy journaling and hooking friends! </span><br />

With the start of the new year, I thought I would write posts about the contents each month. Maybe this will help some of you decide if this is something you are interested in participating in. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Click <a href="http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/knitting/yarn/JimmyBeansWool/BeanieBags.asp" target="_blank">here</a> to check out the website. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Contrary to the name, there is not enough yarn in the beanie bags to make a beanie. I don't think they are trying to be misleading, it's just confusing if you don't read the description. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My first bag came with three 20 yard balls, but the last couple of months have been four 20 yard balls. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Each month comes with a small bag. It's a good size to keep some crochet hooks and scissors. I use one for my pens and pencils as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some photos of this month's goodies... </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my version of the crochet pattern included this month. I had to reduce my hook size to have enough yarn to do the designated number of rows. I definitely need to block this. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My favorite yarn by far in this month's bag is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/cascade-yarns-highland-duo" target="_blank">this one</a>. It's so soft and easy to work with. It slides across the hook without catching at all, and the finished product is lush and gorgeous. It is the darkest green one right before the fuzzy yarn in the above photo. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The only sad part about this month's bag... There was a coupon for a free pattern on ravelry. The shop has some wonderful patterns you can check out <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/marinade-designs" target="_blank">here</a>. Unfortunately for the crocheters out there, all the patterns offered are knit. I wish they had included a coupon code for a crochet pattern as well. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to answer them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Edit: the January Beanie Bag has a much nicer zipper than the previous months. I hope they are sticking with the new zipper, we will see on the next bag, and I'll let you know! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Hooking! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Kristen </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07640904442928818014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112329274533371804.post-41366197754708515342015-01-14T11:17:00.001-08:002015-01-14T11:17:20.677-08:00Blog ConstructionHello All!<br />
<br />
I have found multiple cases of copyright infringement in the recent weeks, so the blog is under construction while all the photos get watermarks.<br />
<br />
A quick review of how my patterns are to be used.<br />
<br />
1. My photos are just that, mine. They are not to be posted to your facebook, instagram, tumblr, or any other source for you to sell that item. That is not your work, so that is false advertisement and it is using my photo without my permission. Thankfully I have a lot of followers who let me know when they spot one of my photos being used without permission, so don't do it. Make one of your own from my pattern and use your own photo.<br />
<br />
2. I state in each blog post that you can make and sell crochet items at your local craft fairs and online garage sales in your area. Please do not list my patterned items on etsy, then you are taking business directly from me. I would love to keep providing free patterns, but will not if this happens regularly.<br />
<br />
3. You are not to reproduce, distribute, or share this pattern in any way without permission. If you purchase a pattern and want to share it with a relative, ok, I can understand that. But purchasing a pattern and then sharing it with an entire facebook group is not only unethical, it is illegal. This is another instance where people watch out for others, so don't do it, you will get caught. Link back to the pattern if you share a photo, so others can find the pattern to enjoy as much as you do!<br />
<br />
Thank you all for your respect. I will continue to create patterns for everyone to enjoy, and I hope that those who have violated these terms will not continue to do so in the future. There will be proper legal action taken against those who do.<br />
<br />
The blog will be under construction for a couple of days, and will be back shortly. If you need a pattern in the meantime, please email me kristenskords@gmail.com, and I will do everything in my power to help you out.<br />
<br />

I had a great time making this beanie! It's super fun and cute. I'll attach some links to help you make one too!<br />
<br />
I have an average to large head and here is what I did.<br />
<br />

Yarn: Red Heart With Love "red' and "white"<br />
<i>in red </i><br />
Ch 4, sl st in first to create a ring.<br />
R1: hdc 10 inside the ring, join (10)<br />
R2: ch1, hdc 2 in each st from the first row, join (20)<br />

<br />
<h4>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is a super easy scarf to make, and works up really fast. It is made with one skein and a 4mm (G) crochet hook.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did not create this pattern, someone posted it in the facebook comments in a group I'm in. I can't find that person, so please let me know if you know who they are so I can give them credit!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This yarn is called red heart unforgettable. The colorways are in black writing on the photo. There are 4 more colorways not pictured.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You can use a larger hook if you would like, but your results will be different.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This scarf is made short way, not long way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">repeat R3 until you are close to the end of the skein.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">attach the two ends with slip stitches. fasten off and hide the tails.</span><br />

I used a 5mm hook and Caron One Pound in red and white<br />
<br />
This was made for my brother, who is around six feet tall. Keep in mind when doing your original chain that the foundation row will be the front of the scarf going up around your head, so it needs to be a little longer than you would make a traditional scarf. For a 6 foot tall guy, I chained until I reached 6 feet. I prefer mine this length too, and I'm 5'8".<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">In white: </span><br />
chain to desired length plus 2 stitches<br />
R1-13: HDC across, ch 1, turn <span style="color: red;">(some prefer the chain 2 when they turn and are using HDC, but I prefer ch 1, you can use either) This is made as a single piece and then you have the option of sewing it into an infinity scarf at the end, like I have done. </span><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Fasten off</span></b><br />
R14: count 60 stitches in the center of your scarf, attach at one end of this 60 and HDC 60<br />
R15-17: ch1, turn, HDC across (60)<br />
R18: ch1, turn, HDC 20, (hdc, hdc, hdc decrease) repeat 5x, HDC 20 (55)<br />
R19: ch1, turn, HDC 20, (hdc, hdc decrease) repeat 5x, HDC 20 (50)<br />
R20: ch1, turn, HDC 20, (hdc decrease) repeat 5x, HDC 20 (45)<br />
R21: ch1, turn, HDC 20, (hdc decrease, HDC, hdc decrease), HDC 20 (43)<br />
R22: ch1, turn, HDC 20, HDC 3 stitches together, HDC 20 (41)<br />
you can now either slip stitch across to close the back or wip stitch.<br />
<span style="color: red;">fasten off</span><br />
To make the peak of the hood, attach your yarn to the center of your white piece, this will be 14 stitches across, so make sure to center appropriately.<br />
R1: hdc 14<br />
R2: ch1, turn, HDC, (HDC decrease) x6, HDC (8)<br />
R3: ch1, turn, HDC decrease across (4)<br />
R4: ch1, turn, HDC across (2)<br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red;">fasten off</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">In red: </span><br />
chain 62<br />
R1: in second from hook, HDC across (60)<br />
R2-17: ch1, turn, HDC across (60)<br />
R18: ch1, turn, HDC 20, (hdc, hdc, hdc decrease) repeat 5x, HDC 20 (55)<br />
R19: ch1, turn, HDC 20, (hdc, hdc decrease) repeat 5x, HDC 20 (50)<br />
R20: ch1, turn, HDC 20, (hdc decrease) repeat 5x, HDC 20 (45)<br />
R21: ch1, turn, HDC 20, (hdc decrease, HDC, hdc decrease), HDC 20 (43)<br />
R22: ch1, turn, HDC 20, HDC 3 stitches together, HDC 20 (41)<br />
you can now either slip stitch across to close the back or wip stitch.<br />
<span style="color: red;">fasten off. </span><br />
To make the peak of the hood, attach your yarn to the center of your red piece, this will be 14 stitches across, so make sure to center appropriately.<br />
R1: hdc 14<br />
R2: ch1, turn, HDC, (HDC decrease) x6, HDC (8)<br />
R3: ch1, turn, HDC decrease across (4)<br />
R4: ch1, turn, HDC across (2)<br />
<span style="color: red;">fasten off </span><br />
<br />
Assembly<br />
1. place two ends of the scarf together and wip stitch together (if you prefer an infinity scarf - you can also leave it as an open scarf or sew some hand pockets on)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
2. place red piece inside the white piece of the scarf<br />
3. attach your white yarn in the center of the back of the hooded part, you will use a SC around to attach the two pieces together. SC evenly all the way around. If you attached the scarf as an infinity you will have to attach on the other side of the loop as well.<br />
4. fasten off and hide all tails.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This week, you get two patterns. Halloween is coming so soon, and I still had two little Octos left. I hope you have LOVED making the octo series as much as I have loved creating it. The series of OCTO HORRORS is complete, until next year! Coming soon to a blog near you... Christmas Octos! With the help of the lovely and talented Jenifer at <a href="http://steampunkgarage.com/" target="_blank">Steampunk Garage</a>, I have decided to name them Octo-Elves! Think reindeer, Santa, elves, and more! (please leave suggestions in the comments- perhaps I will make one or five suggestions!) Thank you for visiting and enjoy. </span></div>

<h4>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This pattern uses 2 different crochet hooks, so pay attention to which one you are supposed to be using. This pattern is worked in a continuous round unless otherwise specified. Do not join at the end of each round, use a place marker and count your stitches often.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you like this pattern, please share it, but link back to this blog. (kristenscrochet.blogspot.com) You may sell completed dolls at local craft fairs, but please do not sell on Etsy or any other online forum. Do not sell this pattern, I wish for it to remain free for everyone to enjoy. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you for your respect.If you love this pattern, consider a donation. A little bit goes a long way in keeping the weekly free patterns coming.</span></div>

This pattern is worked in a continuous round unless otherwise specified. Do not join at the end of each round, use a place marker and count your stitches often.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so sorry that this is late! I meant to post it last week, but things have been crazy here. The Boyfriend and I have been preapproved for a loan, so we're house shopping. Since he works one million hours a week, it's my job to scout out the open houses for the weekend. I also went back to school to finish up my Anthropology degree. Lots of good news and fun, but lots of work. Enough of my excuses, please enjoy this late, but still loveable pattern! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br />

Do not sell this pattern, I wish for it to remain free for everyone to enjoy.

<div class="MsoNormal">
This pattern is worked in rounds,
do not join at the end of the round, mark your place with a scrap piece of yarn
or yarn marker. Be sure to count your stitches often, you don’t want to work
too far after a mistake or miscount. <o:p></o:p></div>

This pattern includes three
different body types, and two different leg styles. Mix and match!<br />
