My First Pattern For Sale!

I have now added my first pattern for sale in my Etsy shop! It's a sweet little cardigan that I designed for my daughter when she was born.


(It's designed to be looser than in the pictures, but I have my 7 1/2 month old daughter stuffed into the 3 month size, because that's what I had available. lol)

And now you can make it for your own little one! Available here on Etsy. (It's also on Ravelry for those interested.)

Winter Socks for Aubrey

I decided that rather than buy Aubrey some more socks that I would make her some nice knit winter socks instead. I got enough yarn to (hopefully) make 5 pairs of socks for her little feet to keep them toasty warm.

This is the first pair I made, just basic socks no fancy cables or lace or anything. I made them so that they will fit all winter long. Which means they are a little big right now, but wearable.

Socks for Aubrey

Pattern: My own toe up baby sock "recipe"

Yarn: Koigu KPPPM color P404

Needles: size 1 dpns

Details: Not really much to say here, just basic socks. This was the first time that I used the Koigu yarn (which a lot of people rave about) and I have to say it is nice yarn. The colors are gorgeous and I think that is most of the appeal of it. It's a nice squishy yarn, and very soft. Maybe I am just cheap, but for the price I would never make socks for myself out of it, unless I found it on sale for cheap somewhere.

Mmmmm....socks

Welcome!

Welcome, one and all to my shiny new home on the internet!

I guess I should introduce myself for those that don't know me. I am a creator and crafter by nature. I have been crocheting since I was about 8, knitting for the last 5 years or so and am obsessed with yarn, especially of the sock variety.




I have just recently started dabbling in chain mail jewelry and am loving it.




I have just opened my very own Etsy Shop. Woot! All I have in there is a few bracelets, but more is to come soon, knitting patterns, more jewelry, and even a knitted or crocheted item or two. And eventually a new look for this site as well!
