Crafty Earrings at the Oscars

Academy Award for Best Actress, Black Swan, knit accessory, Knitting, Knitting Pattern, Natalie Portman, tassel

As I watched Natalie Portman accept her Oscar for Best Actress, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful her earrings were! This is an easy, last minute accessory that any knitter could make for their next special occasion or night out.

A simple pattern for tassels can be found in Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson. After you have made two tassels, simply fasten a decorative bead above it and attach an earring post.

It shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes to complete a pair. ๐Ÿ™‚

What was your favorite dress/accessory at the Oscars last night?

Friday Fill-In, Knitting, Knitting Blog

I came across a new fun blog activity: Friday Fill-Ins! Here’s my Fill-In for this week:

1. Ooooh, I love the Mel B. Shoes from ShoeDazzle.com!

2. I’ve had a sore throat for 3 days, I can’t stand it!

3. How the heck did I end up with so many loads of laundry to do?

4. My parents’ house is one of my favorite places to visit.

5. I’m not a wine snob, I’m not!

6. If it’s Dove Chocolate, it has to be good.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to knitting and watching a Twilight Saga Marathon, tomorrow my plans include celebrating my future MIL’s birthday and Sunday, I want to cook a nice dinner!

Do you have a Friday Fill-In post? If so, link it in the comments below!
