"Karen" Yarn

Karen yarn, originally uploaded by ladycoles.

I have this lovely set of yarn via my best friend. It's called "Karen" as it reminds me so much of my stepmom in the colors. She's a fanatic about purples, teals and greens.

I absolutely love how this knits up and how delicate yet sturdy it is...plus the pattern is helpful in making it look beautiful. I can't take credit for the colors or the pattern, just the knitting of it!

If you would like to check out where I got my yarn, you can go to http://undonesweater.etsy.com.

For this pattern, it's from http://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/scarfdiageyelet.htm

This is one of my favorite websites as a lot of the scarf patterns are easy, yet beautiful and also easy to memorize so they are great knits in front of the tv.

I know my stepmom will love this as much as I am loving knitting it! I'm naming this particular scarf and hat set "Grapevines" as it reminds me of lattice work with climbing ivy and grapes.

Orders are starting!!

I'm so thrilled!! I got my first set of orders yesterday and I'm looking forward to getting them started. I'm also excited about really getting to sit down and get more projects loaded onto my etsy.com site. It's been some work to get me started, but I'm enjoying every minute of it.

I'm also looking forward to finding out where my next festival will be to get some more of my products out there to enjoy them as much as I loved making them.

My hubby and I worked on my new office today. It looks SO great and it feels more like my room. I love it because it really reminds me of my first apartment with all the coziness of my own home. Ahhh....love...

My new scarf! I LOVE IT. I might have to make myself one of these bad boys. I used the idea, thank you European nations, which says "screw the long scarf, lets make it short". I like that idea as the tails on scarves can really get in the way. This is in a gray acrylic/alpaca mix and it's super super soft. I love it. I can't say that enough. This little beauty will be up for grabs at the festival so stop by and get it!

Baby Blanket

This is my 2nd baby blanket, but one of the more difficult ones I've attempted. I love the colors as they are all these sweet pastels in green, blue, yellow, pink and a white underbelly. It's 100% baby cotton so it's very soft to the touch and will be softer after I wash it too!

This lil beauty will be for sale at the festival and I'm hoping it'll be a favorite to possibly get some additional orders.

Almost there...

This time next week a couple of exciting things will be happening...

1. My best friend will be in town for a week (yes!!)
2. I will be managing a booth with my best friend, sis in law, and friend.

I am SO SO thrilled.

It's hard to believe I've only been knitting for about a year and I'm already being blessed with having the opportunity to get my name and knitting out there. I caught on really quickly to knitting so it doesn't even seem like it's been difficult.

The hardest part is getting all of my projects together to sell and also making sure I have enough projects. I keep getting worried that I won't have enough...but really how can someone complain if you sell everything??

Not this girl!

I've got a couple of ideas I need to solidify before including some fun new scarves which will be making a debut at the festival. I am so excited about the festival I can truly hardly STAND it.

I'll be adding pictures of a couple of my projects. I need to learn how which room is best to take pictures in and stuff bc some of these are really really dark. Thank goodness my bff is a photographer and can give me some pointers.

Yay for Fall Festival!!

Ttfn!
