The Watchful Weave- Evil Eye Talisman

Greetings! 
Last week I shared something that was a goal of mine to accomplish. This week I am sharing a new to me project that I fell in love with. Over the winter I had made some snowman kits and had left over metal rings. I decided to research mandalas and wall hangings and found some beautiful ones (they are on my "to make" list) and decided to start with this Evil Eye Talisman. I've always been drawn to them so naturally I loved taking the time to make one. 
So here's a bit about them and how they can help resonate calm whether you wear them or hang them in your most favorite places. 


Evil Eye Talisman


Some symbols travel through centuries, gathering stories the way yarn gathers softness. The Evil Eye is one of them — a quiet guardian meant to notice what we can’t. In many old traditions, a watchful blue eye was believed to turn aside envy, mischief, and the little streaks of bad luck that try to follow us around.

In the Enchanted Stitch world, I like to imagine this charm as a friendly sentinel rather than a fierce protector. Its blue ring mirrors open sky, its green center hints at new growth, and together they create a calm, steady presence. Not dramatic, not demanding — just quietly aware. A companion that keeps an eye on the path ahead so you can walk it with a lighter heart.

There’s something especially comforting about crafting this symbol in yarn. Every loop adds intention, every stitch softens the edges, and the finished talisman feels less like an object and more like a small guardian made by hand. A reminder that protection doesn’t always have to be sharp or heavy; sometimes it can be gentle, colorful, and stitched with care.


If you are wanting to add this gentle guardian to your home or send it on to someone who could use a little added protection, order HERE.

Until next week....

Stitch by Stitch, Story by Story..... See You Soon, Katie

The Elemental Wisp Collection: Magic in Miniature

Image
  Greetings All, Recently I have fallen in love with Bamboo Rayon yarn. I love the silky texture and amazing colors found in the brands I use. The yarn works up small, making creating minis a joy. I have used it before in my Roses ( see my Crochet Roses That Last a Lifetime post for more about those) and after my experience with the yarn there, I decided to continue with it for special collectibles. First up are my Elemental Wisps. There are 5 total in the collection; Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Ether. Here's a little about each one....... 🌱 Earth Wisp Rooted in moss and mystery, the Earth Wisp is a quiet guardian of soil secrets and sprouting seeds. With its leafy feet and branched cap, it listens to the stories told by stones and sings to sleeping roots. 🌬️ Air Wisp Light as a sigh and swift as a breeze, the Air Wisp dances through clouds and dreams. Its cottony aura and sky-kissed smile make it a favorite among wind chimes and whispering willows. 💧 Water Wisp Gentle and curio...

Aeris Ainsley and the Waltz of the Wind

  Greetings once again friends.  Today I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite types of creatures, Impkins. Little is known about Impkins as they are shy creatures. They love to travel here in this realm as well as others, collecting odds and ends, keeping your secrets and dreams safe. Each one has a personality of its own and I'm willing to share a little of each one's story here.  So without further delay, here is the first of many. May I introduce Aeris Ainsley....... Aeris Ainsley and the Waltz of the Wind Aeris Ainsley is an impkin born not from soil or seed, but from the quiet spaces where sky meets thought. She formed during a twilight hour when the breeze turned cool and the clouds blushed pastel, carrying with them the drifting remnants of half‑remembered dreams. Those soft, wandering currents gathered, curled inward, and settled into shape—small, steady, and unmistakably alive. Though she walks rather than flies, Aeris moves with the ease of something sh...
