The Rhiannon Shawl





This is The Rhiannon Shawl that I just loaded onto Etsy. The top picture is my shawl that I made for myself as a little treat. These shawls are so versatile. I love how many ways you can wear them. I like wearing mine wrapped around my neck when I get a little chilly, as you can see from the pictures.
Keep checking back, I made another shawl last night that I will be posting soon. Have a good one!

Leg Warmers





My first pair of Crocheted Legwarmers




Knitted Legwarmers





This is what I have been working on like a busy little bee. I love the crocheted legwarmers, and I'm really happy with how they turned out. I made them longer than my previously knitted ones, so they can scrunch down, and be pulled up all the way to the knee. I haven't put these on Etsy because, for one, it's still too warm, and because I might be selling them in a yoga studio in Denver and Boulder! But when the weather gets cooler, I will be putting something similar on Etsy for sure. Let me know what you think, or if anyone is interested!

Local Structures and Flora










Hubby and I have been painting a house for the last week to make some extra cash, so I don't have any new knitting/crocheting to show right now. I am working on a new pattern for some long, fuzzy leg warmers, so keep checking back. But here are some pictures to enjoy for now!

The Earth Mother Skinny Scarf




This is my latest crocheted creation The Earth Mother Skinny Scarf. It's super long and skinny and has a really fun bumpy texture in the center, in colors of the sunset. This scarf was really fun to make! I just loaded it to my Etsy shop.

Lakes, Poppies and Knits, OH my!!!


























































We have found a new, gorgeous place to take the dog swimming. It starts with a short and pretty nature trail and ends at this lovely reservoir. There were dragonflies (Damselflies) everywhere at this reservoir. I think they were damselflies because they were really small, and dragonflies are usually larger. They were the brightest blue I've ever laid my eyes on.
The poppies are going crazy here, and they are slowly spreading to the other side of the house, I wish they could last all summer. Oh and that crazy red plant is Kinnikinnick. Isn't it the most lush, deep red color you've ever seen???
And... I have been loading some summer fingerless mittens onto Etsy that I have had made for awhile. I also loaded some new crocheted scarves and headbands. Enjoy your Thursday.

I'm Back!!!



I am back from my wedding, honeymoon, and 4th of July celebrations! I had such a wonderful, relaxing, memorable few weeks of vacation, and now it's back to the real world.
In the meantime I have been teaching myself to crochet and I love it. These two headbands are the first of my For Sale creations. The Blueberry Headband and The Freya Headband. Hope everyone's 4th of July was great!

Learning to Crochet

I have been feeling stuck with knitting lately, and needed new inspiration. I found this book called Stitch and Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller.
and immediately fell in love with it. Crocheting felt natural and perfect in my hands right away, I couldn't believe it. I've only ever be a knitter. By I am in love, and it's all thanks to Debbie Stoller's book. Check it out, she's really funny and clever, and the instructions are really easy to follow, and there's tons of fun, hip patterns too!
