Becka from Bliss in a Teacup sometimes posts Work In Progress (W.I.P.) photos on Wednesdays. I always love seeing a glimpse of all the lovely things she makes! Today’s post reminded me that I have a current work in progress that I could share too! So here’s a little peek at what I’ve been working [...]
We left Chicago Saturday morning at 2am-I know we are crazy people! But it actually made the drive go by quickly and the sunrise in Indian was so very pretty. All that to say my weekend project have all been done in a moving vehicle, but if I had had the time I would have [...]
This might sound a little crazy, but I’ve been feverishly working on my cozy “stockpile”. Last winter I was knitting all during parties and family visits, trying to keep up with the avalanche of orders. It was nerve-wracking and I’d rather not do that again this year! So I’m thinking ahead (way ahead) and knitting [...]
What a productive weekend! I finished up a batch of slouchy hats and cozies for City Bird. City Bird is this wonderful shop in Detroit that I would LOVE to visit some day. It looks so lovely! And I finished up a bunch of new photos of older cozies, like this one…
Anabela wrote a lovely post about her adorable new mittens. They are darling! I’ve had a little idea floating around in my sketchbook forever about using a duet of yarns to play up the natural heart shape that the stockinette stitch makes. I love seeing it in action! Now to get a few minutes to try [...]
I have a confession to make, I think about knitting all of the time. I guess it’s understandable, I mean I do knit…a lot. I even knit in my dreams, but that’s a story for another post. So here are some gorgeous knits that have been inspiring me: (click the photo for links to these [...]
I fell in love with this gorgeous pattern from Brooklyn Tweed last Fall and this weekend I finally got around to knitting it up. This one is a birthday present for Joel’s sister, Grace. I hope she likes it! This was my first time knitting a lace pattern and I was so surprised at how [...]
Here’s a peek at one of the fall/winter accessories coming to the shop in September: These are gauntlet-style fingerless gloves and I call them Smittens, mostly because it’s a cute name. They’re made from the most gorgeous peacock blue, cashmere yarn I’ve ever seen and have all kinds of pretty stitching details. I just love [...]
I got the idea for this cozy about a week or two ago and I finally got it knit, blocked, and put together today. I’m so happy with how it turned out! I got to use this gorgeous merino wool that Courtney sent me and I made my first knit bow, love! What do you think?
So today I realized that I haven’t really posted anything new about my Etsy projects recently. I promise it’s not because I’ve been lazy or anything. It’s just that I’ve been spending lots of time dreaming up and making new, lovely (non-cozy) items for the shop. I’m so happy with how they are shaping up and I [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
