$$ALE!!!

Woot! I just sold the two scarves I have listed on Etsy! I have a pink one I need to post and I'm going to make 1 black, 1 grey, and 1 white very soon. I also just got another custom order from a woman I used to work with - 2 hats and 2 scarves.

Hopefully my business will take flight and
~~~SOAR~~~!

Sweet V-Stitch Scarf

I made my mom a really cute black hat with a white brim over the summer and she wanted a matching scarf that was long enough to fold in half and tuck in the ends.  I found a scarf pattern that fit the bill at the Lion Brand Yarn website.  I changed it up a bit and it came out perfectly! 

 Here is the link to the pattern:

Pretty Scarf Pattern

I found an aboslutely adorable scarf pattern by Marie Anne St. Jean.  Because she so graciously permits crafters to sell items made with her pattern, I made two scrumptious scarves and posted them for sale on Etsy.  Here are the pics:












These scarves were really easy and quick to make and they are soooooo pretty.  In fact I made one for myself in soft pink ;)

Cold Hands?

I love little fingerless gloves and mitts -- they are so cute.  I found some really great patterns for different types of fingerless mitts, but my favorite is a ruffled mitt made with a fpdc, bpdc rib stitch.  I made a pair for a friend and then decided that they were too cute to not have a pair of my own.  Unfortunately the rib stitch pattern didn't match my really cute scarf, so I modified the pattern to use a double v stitch (like in the scarf) and kept the ruffle on the end.  They turned out adorably, but I have a little trouble with them sliding up and down my hands.  I think they are too big at the ruffle end ;)


I'll post a pic just as soon as I get my camera back from my mom ;}
