First Towel Set!

May 31, 2013

It's finally here! A kitchen towel set in the shop!

I've made many sets, but never had the time or motivation to make a set "just because" (even if it is for the shop). It seems like I needed more motivation and a little extra inspiration for a specific someone to push me through the marathon of knitting a whole towel set versus a fun sprint of dishcloth-ing. ....

I'm especially in love with this color palette. Yay for cool spring colors! :]

Longies in the Shop!

February 1, 2013

They are finally up + available for purchase. :)

I admit it was like pulling my own teeth to sit down + edit pictures. I was anxious to just hit the publish button about two or three days ago but I had pictures + measurements to finish up.

Hopefully I'll be able to improve my longie photographs soon.

I have a couple more colors on their way. Anyone looking for a particular color?
Happy Groundhog Day, tomorrow!

Socks - Completed!

January 23, 2013

Lynn contacted me at the end of November to knit up some socks for her two grandkids and herself, two pairs each.

Six pairs, that is!

little girl's pair #1

little girl's pair #2

boy's pair #1

boy's pair #2

Lynn's brown & pink stripe pair

Lynn's oatmeal pair

And I'm happy to say I now have my basic sock pattern memorized! Maybe there will be socks for the shop in the near future...

Newest Cowl

January 8, 2013

I'm so excited about this new cowl. Not only is it my favorite style to wear, but I was also able to get my beautiful cousin to model it for me while we visited her family for Christmas! :)

I have to admit I'm not normally much of a color-red fan, but this variegated skein was calling out to me in the store and I couldn't wait to get it on my needles.

Long enough to wrap around twice for extra neck coverage.

I was hoping to have enough to make two double-wrap cowls but I guess I didn't realize how much I truly needed. So this time I have one long (above) and one shorter (below).

How do you think they turned out?

It's One of Those Days

January 4, 2013

The ones that are too-few coming in 2012 but have hit me like an Energizer-Bunny tonight :]

The beautiful productivity of constant-motivation (still going strong for over 4 hours!!). Almost seems like one of those new 5-hour-energy commercials. Anyway, check out all the progress!

I have photographed & drafted 6+ listings today; including a new cowl with my cousin modeling!

I will be staggering the dishcloth listings over the weekend, but you can enjoy the new cowls tonight!

My Autumn earwarmer was featured in a treasury today!

See it? Bottom-right corner.

Did I blow up your Newsfeed today? I apologize; some sort of creative bug grabbed hold of me this afternoon and I couldn't help feeling the need to share those stories with my followers. Did you find any inspiration? Or should I stop sharing others' posts/pictures and keep it to just Etsy shop-related stories?

I have more to share but I guess I ought to save some for another post and that energy is finally starting to slow (after 6+ hours!). Anyone else excited for the new year?

First Hot Mits in the Shop

February 9, 2012

These have been a while in the making.

I love the final product of my hot mits but they are tedious (to me) to sew the insulating denim, so they take a while to make (or for me to work up the motivation, hehe).

Thus, I'm very excited to introduce the first set for sale. I've given many as housewarming gifts to friends & I've even made up entire towel sets (matching finger towel, dish cloths & hot mits) for some of my friends when they have moved away.
