How to incorporate yarn crafts into your cottage magic journey!
If you are a witch that likes to journal or keep a book of shadows, you can use this to help plan out your crafts. You can write down what you want to make, your goals, the colors, and what hooks you are using. This allows you to focus your intentions, your goals, and even color magic into the craft! Crocheting and knitting can also be calming and possibly meditative! It can help you get ready for a different spell as well, if you are not using the yarn for the spell itself!
This can also be a form of knot magic, and you can focus protection or any other outcome as you work and make your stitches/knots in the yarn/string! You are most likely zoning out anyway while working, so thinking about your intentions should be easy to do in the moment. If knot (:3) then you can write your intentions in a journal to help you!
You can also burn incense or a candle while you work to help calm yourself, breathe life into the craft, and help set your intentions. 
Did you know that you can make a familiar out of yarn? They obviously behave differently from a living familiar but they are still used for protection and companionship! 
Yarn can also be used for jinxing and hexing. You can weave your intentions into the yarn and then burn it at the end of the project. Please make sure you are being careful and practicing proper fire safety!
You can also make offerings with the objects you’ve made. Remember, deities often prefer handmade offerings than store bought offerings!

A little thing I've knitted.

i am thinking how much poorer, how much less colorful the world would be if art was only made by "professionals." if all the music, all the stories, all the sketches & paintings & craftwork of the world was created only by the small category of people able to make a decent living from their art. imagine if the only people allowed to create were the experts & the renowned & those aspiring to the top. what a grey world that would be. how much joy would be bleached away! i love you people who create for the sake of creating, i love you artists who do art for tiny audiences, i love you people who make things even just for one person, even just for themselves, even if no one's watching, thank you thank you thank you for decorating the world in which we all exist

For my fellow fibre arts witches, if you're starting to get the Annual Cold Weather Fidget, that driving urge to reach for hooks and needles and that big bin of spools and fabric lurking in your closet....
If you feel like Doing A Witchcraft, you can work some witchy into whatever you're making. Weaving, crocheting, knitting, nalbinding, stitching, embroidery, and knotwork can all carry magic and serve as a vehicle for creating spells, sigils, talismans, or enchanted wearables.
Am I saying you can put a spell into that pair of socks you're knitting? That scarf you've been working on? That pile of granny squares waiting to become a blanket? That cross-stitch piece you've been meaning to finish?
ABSOLUTELY.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are even books on knot magic, witchy crochet and knitting patterns, and beautifully spooky cross-stitch and embroidery pieces. (And lots more downloadable patterns exist on etsy and fibre arts forums!) Perfect for chilling with your favorite hot beverage and current binge-watch while you keep your hands from getting bored.
Go forth and have fun with it!

Something that amuses me between knitters and crocheters is this... almost humble nature each craft has about the other. I couldn't imagine how one would knit, and I know some of the basics - and yet, I have met so many knitters who say crochet is impossible, and yet I find it to be so simple. There's just something charming about when one recognizes just how much skill, effort, patience, and care go into a craft, and to be humbled by just how incredible human ingenuity and creativity are

Self-control whomst? No, this was bad of me. But in my defense, I've had multiple multi-day meeting ordeals lately, and this is one of the BEST activities for staying entertained while also listening.

And I had a pattern I'd purchased a while back (another megan lapp/craftyintentions creation) that I'd never made! So it did it, and it was INVOLVED, so much like so many similar craft incidents, i reached a natural stopping point and.... didn't stop. The blue and purple one came first! I did the fancy tentacles and no colorwork. But I had regrets about both those things, the tentacles were SO hard on my hands, and this is a lot of surface area to work without doing fun color things, especially when this yarn is so vibrant. So i finished one, slumped with exhaustion, and... immediately began another.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But I'm done now! For a while! Except for my two big wips and miscellaneous bubbalubs to use up yarn and eyes, but i SWEAR I'm going to find new entertainment now before i do additional unkindnesses to my hands 😂

Edit: one last photo, for scale!

how to tie a magic knot (for joining yarn to keep working continuously)
Tumblr media
lay the end of the current yarn and start of the new yarn like so
Tumblr media
bring the top strand over the bottom strand, loop it under, and bring it back up
Tumblr media
pass it over itself to form a knot like so, and tighten it up a little. you can slide this knot along the bottom strand, so push it along out of the way
Tumblr media Tumblr media
do the same thing with the other side: pass the bottom yarn up over the top yarn, wrap underneath, back down, around itself and form a knot
Tumblr media
pull the long tails on both knots to bring them together and tighten them as tight as you can. the knot will be tiny, and impossible to undo again.
Tumblr media
cut off the short ends. you can cut right down to the knot. i promise. it is not going anywhere. a) pulling on either end will only ever tighten it and b) it is formed of two mirror-image knots brought together to a singular knot very tightly. those short ends aren't unravelling ever again
Tumblr media Tumblr media
go on your merry way and keep working. the knot will be barely perceptible.

Currently writing a pattern to be tested for an oversized hood and I'm so hyped, I found the pattern mostly finished in the private notes of my ravelry, so I'm editing the notes for clarity and planning on finding like 4-5 testers so that I can get a better idea of how much yarn the project takes (It was meant to be good to use with leftovers or yarn you just don't know what to do with, so there's some wiggle room but i'd like an average minimum y'know?). I'd call this an ambitious beginner to intermediate pattern.

A wizard that uses a really big knitting needle for her magical staff and can produce infinite yarn from the tip of the needle.
She has a knack for lassoing her enemies, but she doesn’t consider herself a cowgirl, so don’t try being a smart ass, lest you be turned into a whimsical spring cardigan.
