FO Friday: Sale & Finished Mystery Animal!


First off I want to announce my first sale! I know a lot of people start shopping for Christmas presents this weekend so I thought why not offer a sale. I know I'm always looking for a good sale and have already taken advantage of a couple. 

I bought some patterns by Bonita Patterns which is having a 20% off your purchase sale plus the more patterns you buy the more discount you get. I bought these mainly because I am thinking about making my mother the Crocodile Stitch Triangle Shawl. 

I got some yarn from Candy Skein. I have been wanting to try it and since she is offering a 15% off your total purchase sale I thought why not try it out now. I am trying to limit my spending for myself so I only bought one but I'm sure I will be getting more from her later on. She has a lot of gorgeous dyed yarn. 

There are two more sales that I may consider investing some money on. The first is going on right now and its Craftsy Classes are all $19.99 or less through November 26th. There is this new class called Beyond Basic Broomstick Lace and I really want to get it. I would also love to get the Shuttle Tatting class. I'm still undecided on whether or not I should go ahead and get one or maybe both or wait. 

The second is KnitPicks Cyber Monday sale starting Monday, November 26th at 6 am (PST) meaning 9 am my time. I ordered yarn from them last week and got it on Wednesday so I don't really need it but I mean can one ever have too much yarn especially if its on sale! Of course I have no idea what will actually be on sale but if its a good deal I will probably end up getting some. Here is what I got and all of it is for items that will eventually be available in my shop. Oh and I got a free skein of Biggo!


Okay I went off track but I have so much to share today. If anyone has any good sales to share please do!

Back to my sale it starts today November 23 and goes through Monday, November 26th. Use the coupon code THANKS10 in my Etsy shop (Adrialyshc.etsy.com) to get 10% off your total purchase (excludes shipping cost). All you have to do is apply the code before checking out. You can find where to apply it above the item total in your cart. Payment is through PayPal, you may use your account or any credit card. Make sure and take advantage of this sale now because the next sale won't be for a couple of more months! 


Here are the cuties available at my shop! 

Blues for Boys!


Pinks for girls!


Or Neutrals for either boys or girls!


These cuties make the perfect gift for everyone no matter the age. I will be adding two animals a day throughout the weekend. Here are the two for Friday! Another pink and another blue. These will become available later on today. 


Last thing to share today is my first self designed amigurumi is done! Can you guess what it is by looking at its tail?


Its a bunny!! 


No one guessed it and I think its mostly because of the colors I used. I wasn't attempting to make it realistic. I was just using the colors that my brother's girlfriend choose since she was the one who asked me if I could make her one. I really did enjoy trying to design it and was super excited to see that it actually looks like a bunny.  I may make a couple of more samples and test out some other ideas before offering the pattern for sale.

Have a great Weekend!
