Yarn Shopping!!!

Posted on by

I was able to go yarn shopping the other day with my husband and sister. Here are some of the beautiful yarns that I came back with.

This is probably my favorite yarn, it is super soft and I just want to sit and hold it.

I love how vibrant the red is and it is really soft.

I am hoping to make an infinity scarf out of this. It is fluffy and soft and should be warm and cozy.

I am wanting to make another infinity scarf out of this yarn and can’t wait to see how it turns out!

I just love the way that this yarn looks, is should look stunning knitted up.

I am really looking forward to seeing how these yarns knit up. They are cottons!
This one is so soft and I am thinking a bear hat would be really cute!

Wonderful Weekend

Posted on by

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. My husband and I got to go shopping in the afternoon and I bought some yarn and stuff to “spiff up my tags”. :-) I will take some pictures of the new tags, once I get them made. I am really excited about the new yarn and tags. I also was able to finish a pair of fingerless gloves that I was working on. Yay!!! Today I am working on another pair of fingerless gloves, I will try to take a picture for on here and post about them. They are turning out really nice so far.

I would also like to get your input. I have some more of the blue sparkle yarn and would love to hear what kind of gloves you think I should knit with it. If you visit this link Avictoria.com, you can see all the other fingerless gloves I have made. Post a comment with the name of the gloves that you think would look good in sparkle yarn. I really appreciate the help. :-)

New Goal

Posted on by

This week I am working on finishing up a baby hat and starting fingerless gloves. My plan is to have a week dedicated to an item on Etsy. I will have a week of baby hats, where I will post a hat everyday and then blog about that hat. Then I will do a week of fingerless gloves the same way and so on. I am very excited and look forward to bringing you all new fun hats, gloves, sweater and blankets. I will continue to blog about the progress of all the items and the upcoming weeks for each set of items. Should be lots of fun!!! Keep watching! :-)

New listings

I have been knitting up a storm the last few weeks and can not believe how much I still have to do. I have finished 4 Christmas presents, 1 special order item, started another special order item, and finished about 10 or so other items for the craft fairs coming up this next weekend. I still have 2 special order items to finish, 4 Christmas presents and if I can get to it a few more little things for the craft fair on the 20th.

I love knitting and it is great when there is so much knitting to do, I am afraid I will not get it done (challenge) ;-)
If you do not have anything going on the 20th of November, I will be at a craft fair in Lamar and it should be a great craft fair. Lots of people and great hand crafted items. The lady that runs this fair does a good job making sure that well crafted items are shown and not everything else. :-)
I will try to post a few of the items that I most like. I am knitting the girls scarves with some really cool looking bright pink yarn the Kathryn actually picked out. Should be really cute and fun!!!

Knitting Classes

Posted on by

The library has asked that I continue to teach until the students are done or no one is coming. I am so excited!!! I love to teach and the ladies that I am teaching have been so much fun. I have 7 regulars, 4 occasional and 4 more that have signed up, but not come yet. My youngest student is 8 and she is doing so well. She was the only one knitting loss in the beginning and now I think her tension is evening out. The rest of the ladies started out knitting tight and I think they are beginning to even out as well. They are all doing great! My next class is Monday at 1pm, and I will continue to teach on Mondays at 1pm, until they get tired of me. :-)

I am so glad that I am getting to do this and hope it lasts for a while.

Knitting

I have been knitting a bunch here recently and playing with patterns. I also have had a library ask me to start teaching lessons for them once a week and make some things for a raffle they want to have. They thought something for Valentines would be nice. I would love peoples ideas of what to make for Valentines.

I had a friend tell me I should make a pair of socks with hearts and Love written on it. I really like that idea, but would love to hear what you all think. :-)
Gloves, socks, scarf, hat, or something totally different.
Let me know!
Thanks!!!

I had a lady from Canada ask if she could do a review about my blog. Of course I said yes. :-) Click on this title and it will bring you to it. :) If that does not work, here it is as well.
