Isn't It Cozy?
I love Autumn. I love even the sound of the word. Autumn. The change of leaves to burnt umber, gold, and scarlet. Home to my two favorite holidays, Halloween and Thanksgiving. When I finally get to wear my wool pea coats, clunky leather boots, gloves, scarves, sweaters, and chunky slippers. A time for tea and hot cocoa. A time for family.
To celebrate this magical season I've created some beautiful cold weather gear that's sure to bring out the Autumn lover in you, too. Of course, what's not to love?
Click the pictures for links to each item in my Etsy Store.
Autumn Leaves Mini Cowl with Removable Orange Flower
A sweet, simple little cowlette knitted from super soft chenille yarn threaded with gold and red strands and accented by a cute little orange flower that can be removed, repositioned, or used to secure this little neck candy piece any way you'd like.
Creamy Super Soft Cowl with Red Rose Brooch
I don't really want to sell this one, but I know if I love it as much as I do then you will too. And who am I to deny you this beautiful knitted piece? Created from a strand of baby-soft buttery yellow yarn with a satin finish and a strand of brushed acrylic in tones of cream and mocha. The finishing touch is a deep crimson rose crocheted from the silkiest acrylic yarn and accented with three autumn orange leaves. The center is elegantly complimented with three upcycled faux pearl beads securely sewn to the center. The back has a piece of stiffened felt for stability and a convenient brooch pin so you can position the rose as you like or attach it to something else entirely.
Spring Green Super Soft Cowl with Yellow Rose Brooch
This green cowl is knit from two strands of a variegated boulce. Slouchy, sweet, and soft it's drool worthy and works double duty as not only a cozy, cold weather piece but a fashionable neck accent in its own right. The rose brooch is crocheted from buttery yellow acrylic yarn with green leaves and has a center accented with three tiny green glass beads and one larger orange toned glass bead. The backing is stiffened felt and a brooch pin. What more could you want?
Waste-Not Want-Scarf Multicolor Multi-texture Scarf
Personally, my favorite piece. Knitted from all the scraps I accumulate making my variety of items, the Waste-Not Want-Scarf is not only extremely edgy and stylish, it's eco friendly. Without this scarf, all these yarn scraps would be filling a land fill somewhere. I carefully knot each piece together until I have a ball large enough to knit one of these completely unique, nine-foot long scarves. No two are ever alike and it takes a good long while to collect enough scraps to make just one. I've currently just finished a ball of scraps so I can finally make a scarf like this of my own.
That's the update for what's going on in my shop right now. I've added a few other items I haven't featured here but I'll be getting to those soon enough. I should be sharing my new line of hair accessories in the very near future and the next batch will be sporting a gorgeous selection of feathers I recently procured from Pegasus22 Crafts and Destash over at Etsy. If you love feathers as much as I do, you should check out her wonderful shop.
Thanks for stopping by.

Custom Snowhawk
I just shipped my first order from my Artfire store.
I love how this hat turned out. The colors were chosen by the client and worked together beautifully. This past summer she'd ordered a snowhawk from me for herself. Her husband loved her hat so much he wanted one for himself. I love repeat customers!
Take a look at this great hat.
I'd love to make a custom hat for you. Visit my shop at either thorisdesigns.artfire.com or thorisdesigns.etsy.com to see items currently in stock or to order a custom hat.

Hats for Halloween!
Halloween is already on it's way, and if you're from the northern half of the planet your Halloween is probably going to be a bit on the chilly side. I'm sure mine will be!
Helping your child stay warm and stylishly costumed on Halloween can be difficult, especially when most costumes are made from cheap fabrics that aren't made to retain heat so much as prevent fires.
Here are some great hats for your little one to trick-or-treat in this Halloween!
The Little Ladybug Beanie is made of ultra-soft acrylic yarn and sports little green button eyes, antenna, and freehand crochet detail. Your little one will look wonderful in her ladybug costume with this hat to top it all off.
The Skully Aviator hat is made of super soft materials, is knitted by hand with freehand crochet detailing and will be a favorite for the cold season, before, during, and after Halloween.
The Stegosaurus Beanie is knitted with a "tail" flap on the back that extends the line of "plates" running in a ridge down the center of this super-fun hat. The eyes are hand-sculpted of polymer clay and sealed with a glossy protective coat for that scary-dino shine!
I also sell hats with mohawks, teddy bear ears, and can make a variety of other animal or even costume themed hats.
Please be sure to check out my stores on Artfire and on Etsy. Different specials are running on each.
Also know that I can happily take custom orders at no extra charge.
