Cathy Frailey
“With the Autumn and Halloween season in full swing, I came up with a fun little journal spread that incorporates those elements using some yarn fibers! Us ladies sometimes have a hard time deciding what to wear – what’s our personality going to be today? That’s the dilemma facing my journal gal. Decisions, decisions…”

Viktoriya Porechnaya
“I created a card with autumn mood – yellow, brown,orange leaves, turquoise tone on background and charming spider on the web that I made with yarn. Some sparkling accents and drops are great addition for fall! I used Tattered Angels Calendar Mist Kit – Pumpkin Patch for autumn leaves and Dragonfly, Walnut Gold and It’s Brown Glimmer Mists for the background.”

Taru Jehkonen
“I have not knit for almost 30 years. But when I saw the subject of this wonderfully inspirational challenge, I got the idea that the jute cord could also knit. I used to stitch with skewers because I wanted glue that sticks on scrapbook page and love how it turned out!”

Lynda Lindley
“I adore rustic decorating items and knew straight away I wanted to make something I could sit out on my table for the fall holiday season. This burlap and yarn pumpkin is the prefect decor project to create using leftover burlap, yarn, and a branch from your yard. Fast and easy to make with a running stitch done along the top edge of a circle cut from burlap using yarn. I then added additional yarn around the stem of the pumpkin and trimmed around the burlap at the top leaving it very messy for a rustic look.”
