New Socks

I found this great yarn on sale at Joann's when I was last there. This lead to a Ravelry search for the perfect pattern; I found the Weaselly Homestead. If was quick and simple and did not have to think much about it. I am also able to bring it to watch movies where there is not a lot of light. The only really change I made was to cast on eight extra stitches since I am not petite in the least.

Bags/Cases For My Tarot Decks

 When I got into tarot at first I was simply storing my cards in the box. I was beginning to worry about the box giving out before I found the perfect thing to keep them. I none of the pre-made bags that are popular called to me. The organza bags that are popular were coming out on top, but I felt that they were to flimsy for me to feel comfortable (friends of mine use these bags with no problems). Until the day that I came across author Mary K. Greer's blog which is an excellent resource. Greer is not just a tarot reader and author though, she knits. When I was looking through the different side links on her blog I noticed one called Knitted Tarot Bags. 

I felt really stupid at this point I hadn't even thought of knitting one; the first bag I made for my Deviant Moon Tarot based off of her pattern. Later for my Vanessa Tarot, which comes in a tin I just needed something that kept it with it's clothe I created this bag.

 Now I have been experimenting for different styles of bags.

Tarot Decks II: My Break-down And Reviews Of Current Decks

 The Psychic Tarot: Oracle Deck- Oops, this was my very first deck. I happen to really like it, but I did not know enough to realize that while it said Tarot in the name; an Oracle deck is not the same thing. Easy to read with; but if you are trying to learn the traditional Tarot not so good. So if you see an oracle deck and fall in love with it, buy it but as a second deck or put it side until you are doing really well with a normal 78 card deck. Switching between the two types of decks is not optimal for learning.

Deviant Moon Tarot- This was my second deck after I realized what the above was not a normal deck. This one is great for me, I love the art and had an instant connection to the deck it is still one of my go to decks.

 

Vanessa Tarot- And this was my third deck, every card is depicted with a different woman doing her thing. This deck is about the same size as playing cards and came in a tin which I love for slipping into my purse =)
