Stitches and Purls

Thoughts, projects, and a few yarns from a self taught knitting obsessive and growing crochet enthusiast. (i.e. my escape from the cubical to my happy place)

Slouchy Beret & packaging
This is the one I sent to a friend last week.  It is not the best pic ever, but you can see my new bags that I’ll be sending out orders in.  They are made of cotton with my logo stamped on it!  I have small ones for the jewelry & larger ones for scarves, hats, etc.  Hope ya’ll like it.

Delivered the slouchy beret to a very happy friend today!!  She loved the hat and my new packaging.  I will definitely put up the pics later this week, but it turned out very nice and perfect for gift giving ;)

Projects Galore!

Things to do:

  • Finish the Clemson bag, number 2
  • Make another slouchy beret, by request
  • Finish the flower belt, make an adorable necklace, tiered necklace, and button headband for another request
  • Finish testing/making a new scarf pattern for the etsy shop - it is a Zig Zag Lace Scarf
  • Make myself ‘the other’ leg warmer (and no it will not have buttons for eyes)

EEEEEEEEEEEk :) Pardon me while I have a little freak out- guess I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!!!

These leg warmers really want to join me in an outfit with the slouchy beret.  (Or maybe a modified version of them with the slouchy beret’s chevron pattern??) 
Regardless, I am kind of in love with the idea…. probably that whole ballet thing yet again :).  Shocker!

Up and Coming

I have to tell you, my photo uploading skills as of late have been horrible!  I promise to get myself together tonight… pics of my bus. cards, slouchy beret, the ribbed hat, etc. are all to come!

On another note I’m almost finished with the dastardly princeton lace scarf and have cast on for a new cabled wrap-around that I designed.  Oh - AND the flower belts are still in hibernation :) solid.

Finished the slouchy beret last night after some frantic knitting… because I was so excited to get it done!  It turned out absolutely wonderful.  I LOVE it and think it will be my fall staple!  Can’t wait to show you pics… soon and very soon.
