In the Pink!

What could be better than 

a BIG dose of PINK

during the dreary month of January?

I have been immersed in pink

for the past couple of weeks.

It started with a need to make

Pink FUSION

for my cowl....

...and hat kits.

Since the yarns were all pulled

and together,

and I did not already have one made

I decided to knit a cowl.

From there,

a hat seemed to be

the next project to do.

Then of course,

what's a hat

without a matching scarf?

My shop shelves are fully

stocked with pink now.

Hope you're 

"in the pink"

too!

Burrr...It's Cold Outside!

Keep yourself warm!

On My Needles Today...

It's been a very busy week here.

We made it through the yard sale and Bistro

last weekend.

I'll tell you all about it on Saturday.

Since then I have felt exhausted and

have been very happy to spend 

a little time getting back into my zen 

with a little knitting!

Today I am working on a scarf

from FUSION, color way "Rain Forest."

I love these colors and

they are putting me in the mood for Fall!

Happy Knitting!

On My Needles Today...

...is a "bandanna" cowl.

It is shaped into a point at the center front,

giving it a bandanna look when worn.

I am knitting it with 

Plymouth Yarn's GINA,

a wonderful space dyed wool.

Happy knitting!

On My Needles Today...

...is a pretty cable named

"Hollow Oak."

This is the beginning of a 

new hat design.

Here is an update on recent projects:

This is the finished hat from last week.

Who says brown has to be dull?

My triangular scarf from a couple of weeks ago

can also be worn as a traditional shawl.

Can you see the touch of

"radiant orchid,"

Pantone's Color of the Year?

Happy Knitting!

On My Needles Today...

…is the beginning of a triangular scarf,
in shades of blue.

It will have fringe on two sides.

Here's a little update of a couple of other projects this month:

A couple of weeks ago I was working on a second mitten
to go with one already finished.
Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and 
knitted it exactly like the first…
meaning I had two right handed mittens.
So I had to knit two more left handed ones
to go with those already knitted!

The scarf from last week is now finished!

My Newest Creations!



Last time I told you I had recently purchased

lots of scarves and was working

on a new project.

I'm knitting cowls,

my newest passion

and lining them with pretty scarves!

This results in a totally reversible neck warmer.

You can wear it with the scarf against your neck.

(Some of my cowls are lined with cashmere

and feel incredible against your neck.)

Or, you can wear it with the hand knitted side against

your neck, for a really cozy feel,

and a pretty plaid scarf around your neck.

In addition to the cashmere scarves,

I'm also using  some pretty

faux silk ones.

I'm using the scarf as my inspiration for the yarn

and designing the FUSION Yarn to perfectly

coordinate with the scarf.

I've just listed some in

my Etsy shop this morning

and have plans to add more

and more as the holiday season approaches.

Stop in and have a look!

Cashmere and Other Scarves



Last Sunday, Nancy and I made a trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

It's only about a two hour drive from our house.

We attend the Norton Apparel, Jewelry & Gift Market

at least once a year.

This market is held four times during the year.

It's a "trade only" wholesale show and you must have

a business license to attend.

It's mainly a cash and carry show for

jewelry (costume to high end), handbags, apparel

and some gift items.

I'm always on the look out for things for our

Holiday Show.

I've been working on a new knitted item

for my Etsy shop

and was in the market for scarves.

I came home with some gorgeous ones!

The "finds" for the day were the cashmere ones above.

I also got a nice selection of

"faux" silk scarves.

I'm very excited about my new project

for these scarves.

I'll be sharing on Friday,

so be sure to visit back then!
