Baby Frosting

Looking for the perfect gift for the new little one in your life? or have a friend who's expecting? I got to meet the maker of these adorable burppies and bibs on a trip out to California last week. They are sooo cute. With literally dozens of designs to choose from, there is bound to be something you'll love. The fabric styles are so cute, and the backings are equally as nice. Definately worth the price.

Busy Fall is finally here...

So I'm starting to feel the pressure that always comes with fall. I got a great response to my Bella's Mitten Pre-order stint in my etsy shop. I'm also trying to get caught up with fall apparel orders for local consignment shops. And of course in the back of my mind I keep reminding myself that Christmas will be here before I know it. With all that in mind, you'd think I'd be busy trying to crank out as much as I can, but instead, as always, I've been designing. For some reason I always design my favorite work when I should be busy doing something else!
So, what I've been working on is a new fall cabled cowl, and invitation designs for my girlfriends bridal shower.
I'll post pictures of both when they're finished.

Bella's Mitten Pattern is Here!

So after a long weekend of math and fighting with the cable chart generater, I finished my pattern at the beginning of this week. Then it was off to my test knitters. I foolishly thought I had it working pretty well, and was sure they wouldn't come up with anything... But I was wrong. So I spent most of the lst few days revising the sizing and charts down to perfection. I am now quite confident that its all in working order! So I've posted it on etsy, ravelry and here for download. I've offered it on etsy of $6 since its not an instant download, or here on the blog for $10 which is an instant download.
I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, leave me a comment or two of how they turn out for you.

35 Sales on Etsy!!!

I am proud to announce that Today I reach 35 sales and 99 hearts for my knits shop on Esty! Thanks so much to everyone who has been supporting me this year. I've never made so many mittens in my life, and it's been so much fun; what a wild ride! I never thought it would be so exciting selling online, but I've sent my mittens all over the world now, and still get that peng of pride every time I go to the post office with my little brown box!

Thanks!
