**NOTE I won't open any files you send me in email regarding these request emails. I will only look at text.**

What materials do you need?

Yarn: DK or Sport Weight yarn (DK is my recommendation but a sport weight would end up just a bit larger.) You will need:

SMALL SCARF(42in/107cm long)-requires 312 yrds/285m of yarn
MEDIUM SCARF(52in/132cm long)-requires 416yrds/380m of yarn
LARGE SCARF(84in/214cm long)- requires 624yrds/570m of yarn

I recommend a natural fiber, but it is up to you.

Your needles will have to be circular needles with a long cord.....at least 30inches I recommend something around 40inches.
The size of the needles will depend on the yarn you choose. Use the needle size recommended on the band of the yarn ball. If you need me to show you where to look on the yarn ball for the needle size then pop into one of the broadcasts I have going, and ask me in chat to explain this... in the next week or so and I will show you in the broadcast.

You will also need a yarn needle for sewing in ends.
You will also need scissors
You will also need a tape measure

Plus a note pad of lined paper and a good pen or pencil (a highlighter would be a good idea too)

Make sure you try to catch a few minutes of another broadcast of mine just in case you have issues with needing flash upgraded or need to ugrade your video viewer etc.

A Beginner knitter who has cast on, Knit, and Purled before can do this scarf.
An Intermediate knitter will have no problems with this scarf.

How To Use One Of My Mandalas

Here is a video I created showing how one would count the principles of 8 on my Lotus Mandalas.
These Handmade mandalas have 8 petals per side and 8 beads per side. Pluse 8 twin petals in the middle.
A mandala is used to repeat a prayer or mantra over and over again for meditation. Much like a Rosary beads are used to say prayers and blessings.
This video shows how you can manipulate my Mandalas into shapes as you do your meditation. This allows the user not to concentrate on the number of repititions, but on the mantra itself.

Blessings Of The Equinox!

What better a fitting thing than to accept the Twitter Manager job for The Pagans Of Etsy Street Team (POEST for short).
Yep, I did it!
I committed as the zero hour turned to 1.

I will be taking over the Twitter duties for the Pagans of Etsy team.

I am very excited!

I will also make this blog part of the Twitter posts. I will post extensions of my Tweets from the Pagans of Etsy Twitter site and my own site on this blog.

Besides updating from my Twitter about my new items I will blog about other Pagans Of Etsy to talk about what they are all about, and the stuff I really really thing is awesome and inspiring!

If you are Pagan and an Etsy seller or buyer I invite you to join us HERE.

If you are interested in chatting with us I will post the Etsy chats for the team here so you can join in.

If you are curious, then have a look at the site and the photos.
