Julenisse of Kindness

Finished up my Julenisse doll and the pattern is now available.

This project was inspired by a blog I read on Kindness elves. I liked the idea so I decided to make our own version.

In upholding our families traditions of celebrating the Nisse and Tomte I wanted to capture that spirit in a little visitor, someone who can hang out every year with Julebukk.

You can find the pattern for this doll with outfit in my stores, link here... http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/julenisse-of-knidness

Pixie hats and little spats

I have gotten two more patterns published over the weekend.

Women's Pixie hat
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/womens-pixie-hat-2

A hat inspired by fresh spring greens, dancing in moonbeams, flower petal dresses, spider web shawls and curl toed slippers.

This hat is the perfect combination of whimsy and practicality.

Available in women's hat sizes 21" - 23".

And a baby and child's Pixie Hat
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-and-childs-pixie-hat

This little hat is inspired by Brownies, Tomte and Nisse, Pixie dust, fairy rings, dew drops in cob webs and Jack frost painting window panes.

This little cap is perfect for sitting by crackling fires sipping hot apple cider from cups grasped with mittend hands, or watching marshmallows melt in hot cocoa.

This pattern fits from birth to 6 years.

My next project that I am currently working on is a pattern for fingerless armlets which can also be worked up and worn as spats. The little Pixie Witch glove-lets and spats will be perfect to wear with your little Pixie or Elven Witch hat.

Here is a quick sneak peak.

Pattern is workable with either lace or button options.

Pattern should be available soon in all of my pattern shops, giving you plenty of time to work up a pair or two before All Hallow's Eve!

I also have two more pattern ideas in my head, the first is a Gothic Witches Cowl and the second is for another pair of felted slippers inspired by square heels ad square, pointed toes. So be on the look out for them in the coming weeks. I am hoping to have both patterns finished and published in time for Halloween projects.

Women's Elf Slippers

Sometimes a project starts out as one thing or with one goal in mind and just sort of morphs into something else.

I wrote this pattern with witchy slippers in mind and ended up with little Elfen clogs instead.


The end result is perfect for crisp chill mornings, autumn leaves scattered across the ground, fog hung low, toadstools in circles, and fairy bells tinkling in the distance as lights flicker in and out.

Theses slippers call for cold hardwood floors, warm fires, hot cocoa in hand, alpaca socks and these warm woolen slippers on your feet.

This pattern has instructions for women's elf slippers in sizes 5/6, 7/8 and 9/10.

These felted clog style slippers are perfect for cold floors and warm feet!

Pattern is available along with all of my patterns in any of my pattern stores, or you can simply clock the link and be taken straight to it. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/womens-elf-slippers

New Pattern: Kitsune the Winter Fox

I have a new pattern finished up and listed, meet Kitsune the Winter Fox.

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kitsune-the-winter-fox

Kitsune are noted for having as many as nine tails. Generally the more tails the older and wiser the fox, a Kitsune may not earn any additional tails until after they are over 100 years of age. One, five, seven and nine tails are the most common in folk tales. When a Kitsune gains it's ninth tail it's fur becomes white or gold. Nine tailed Kitsune may gain infinite wisdom. White foxes, black foxes and nine tailed foxes are considered good omens.

A Kitsune over the age of 100 may gain the ability to take human form. Many Kitsune retain fox attributes when in human form.

This pattern captures the whimsy of Kitsune, the fox spirit. Perfect for dress up, costumes and play. 

This is a set with patterns for a hat and a matching tail, both available in child's sizes S, M and L.

Plants, Seeds and Recipes?

(c) Full Knitted Jacket April 2012

Friends and fans, as an avid organic gardener and believer in self sustainability, I have decided to celebrate the warming months by opening up my shop to wider things. I likely will not be listing live plants or seeds this year, but please know I do have some things I will pass on very cheaply if you are interested. I have live fully organic plants that I will sell you "dirt" cheap. Along with many seeds I have collected from my own garden, including mustard, dill and many squash, I believe I also have broccoli seeds. 

The live plants will be shipped bare root, and if interested please contact me right away! 


Lemon balm is an amazing hardy herb from the mint and balm family that is great for teas all year around. Perfect for soothing anti viral teas in cold season, or refreshing iced teas on hot summer days. I will even pass on tips on harvesting and drying at your asking. 


Sage plants, perfect for your herb garden.


Parsley plants, another perfect cooking herb you can grow at home. 


I have ginger starts also. Live rhizomes with plant starts ready for your potted garden or in warmer climates they can be planted straight into your garden. I can send on some ginger growing tips at your request. 


Live bare root black berry plants. For those who do not live in the pacific north west where black berries grow prolifically, I would love to share the bounty of these lovely berries with you! The roots are a perfect natural cure for loose stools, the leaves share the beneficial properties of the red raspberry and are great for women's tonics. These will arrive at your door ready to be planted. At your request I will share trimming tips and ideas for keeping your new garden treasure in check! 

Mustard seeds are great tossed into stews and in the crock pot with corned beef. The greens are great in a dandelion green and fresh greens salad. Wonderful to make your own mustard powder or table mustard. 


Dill seeds, another great kitchen herb that is easy to grow.
As I am not yet set up for officially selling seeds and plants, everything this year is extra cheap, and will not be shipped to you in fancy packaging. Same great organic quality from a back yard farmer to your back yard, but none of the added cost of the frills. I just want to share my abundance and over stock with you. 


All you need to do is contact me with your custom order request and it's yours while supplies last. Shipped straight to your door from my garden, right away. (Seeds are all last years seeds and have been properly stored, they will not be shipped straight from my garden)

Please consult your local planting guides for your area before purchasing, as I am in the pacific north west and will be making plants available through our safe planting season. Now is the perfect time to plant any of the above listed live plants, so if interested please do not hesitate! 


Contact me via email at Full.Knitted.Jacket@gmail.com or on facebook  https://www.facebook.com/FullKnittedJacket .

Up coming, be looking for many more seeds next year as I harvest the ones from this season. I re allocated my extra strawberries this year, but if you are really interested in some I have several I could make available. Next year be looking for strawberry plants, black berry plants, possibly raspberry plants, lemon balm plants, parsley plants and tons more seeds! 

Also be watching my shop for recipes, I plan to start adding some of my favorite recipes that I have written, for very low cost to you. First on my planned list? A wonderful summer dish, potato salad.

New goodies

I was able to finish a couple of projects this past week, one was a custom order for my cousin and the other an item for myself. This week I will be working on a  custom pair of lace gloves that I am very excited about. I am having a few health issues at the moment and really hoping they don't slow me down too much.

Here is the little custom bag I made.

(c) Full Knitted Jacket, April 2012

I think it is just too darling. She really liked the little mitts I made a while back and asked for a purse made just like them.

(c) Full Knitted Jacket, April 2012

I am modeling them together here.

(c) Full Knitted Jacket, April 2012

It is made in the Tunisian stitch according to my pattern, with a longer strap to be worn across the body, with a cross stitch Scottish Thistle.

I am just in love with the mitts and the purse! I think I need to find some more of this yarn so I can make myself one!

The other project I finished up this past week was a little purse for me.

(c) Full Knitted Jacket, April 2012

I was inspired to make this one after finishing up the last custom one. These are just so nice I really felt it was time to make one for myself.

(c) Full Knitted Jacket, April 2012

These are so great, it's like not even carrying anything at all! I can slip my cell phone or my camera in this and carry it all over. A great handy thing for catching photo opps of the baby while gardening.

(c) Full Knitted Jacket, April 2012

I added a little cross stitch heart to match the mittens I made a while back.

On top of the fiber crafts I have been trying to keep up with the season and my gardening, which will have an ever increasing demand from now through till fall, tending our new baby chicks, and trying to keep up with our ever more active toddler. It's a wonderfully busy life, but a pretty darn blessed one I must say.

Today we had a picnic lunch on the kitchen floor. Bear and I sat their cross legged eating our strawberries and fruit while watching the baby chicks pecking away at strawberry tops, happily chirping as the sun shined in on us through the kitchen windows. A pretty darn good life indeed!
