So Sweet

This summer I worked with a local photographer who used some of my hats in her pictures. If you have ever tried to photograph a newborn you know how hard it is. I thought she did an amazing job. Aren't they just the sweetest things? I love making tiny newborn hats but sometimes the sizing can be tricky.  That is why I tend to give blankets as baby gifts as you can't go wrong with the size.

Have a great weekend.....hoping to do some fall things this weekend and finally photograph some new pieces I have for my shop www.grizzlie.etsy.com !

Complete!

Don't you just love completing a project? Almost as much fun as starting one. The baby came early so I had to work fast, but got it to him in time. Not sure in time for what exactly since he is only a few days old. Can't even focus, never mind appreicate my fancy stitch work.....oh well. One day it might even become "the blankie", but no pressure little guy.....

Come visit me on Raverly.....I am Grizzlie Knits :) Love that place....

What are you working on?

Today I am trying to finish this sweet baby blanket. I think I started it too big and now the length needs to catch up with the width. I thought I had two more weeks but the little sweetie decided to show up early. I am loving crocheting this but I have to admit it is taking a long time. I think it will be worth it in the end. I am enjoying these three colours together. My goal is to finish it tonight or in the morning, and tomorrow sew in the ends and make the boarder. If only I had more than two hands!

I'm Back!!!!!!

Hey everyone! So sorry for my absence....but I am back now. and boy...oh boy, have I been knitting up a storm. I don't want to overload you....so we will begin small and progress from there. I have missed this little blog of mine. Afterall, who is going to care about my projects if not for you? Who else wants to see unfinished knitting and crocheting items? Who else won't judge me on my obsession of buying and storing yarn? I know you won't....that is why I am back.

 

This is my new colour that I am in love with for fall. A customer ordered my Canuck scarf in fig. Love the name....love the colour.....

I can't wait to show you more new items on my shop, ideas in the works, patterns I have written and found, new shops that I just have to give you the links for......and so much more. We can talk about knitting all day, right?   Although, I have to go and start dinner.....

See you later and have a lovely evening....feels good to be back.

Bamboo and Silk

I just love it when I get contacted by a customer who wants me to do something I have never done before. It is sooo exciting!  A lovely customer wanted me to knit her something in bamboo silk. I had two balls of it in my stash (the exact colour she wanted!) and couldn't wait to get started. Here is the result....

It turned out soooo soft and beautiful. I am offering it in six colours. Ivory, Coal, Almond, Moss, Sea, and Orchid. Perfect texture, weight and colours for the spring. I am now working on matching wrist warmers!
The problem is I have so much I want to knit.....a baby sweater done from the top down that I just started, blankets, pillows.....I could go on and on......
