The Anya Scarflette

I have started making some new Fall scarflettes, and here is the newest creation, The Anya Scarflette, and I just loaded it onto Etsy. I have a bunch of new legwarmers too that I will be loading on in the near future.

My Forest Cowl was featured in a blog yesterday and you can check it out HERE

I have also been shipping some of my accessories to a store called Bento in Honesdale, PA. They just opened and they seem to be doing really well. If you check out her flickr site you will see that it's like walking into a real live Etsy store. My dream come true, I only wish I lived closer so I could go shopping there. She hasn't posted any pictures of my accessories yet, but as soon as she does, I will post it here. The way she displays the merchandise is really creative and intriguing. Enjoy your day!

Free People Collages

I have loved Free People for many many years. Their catalogs are always so artistic and gorgeously done, and the clothing is a piece of art as well. I love their blog too, I check it almost daily. So earlier this summer I was starting to feel a little frustrated and creatively blocked. Selling knitted goods at my online shop, in the summer, NOT SO EASY!!! :)

I had been wanting to make some sort of collage out of my Free People Catalogs for awhile now, but I couldn't stand to cut up the catalogs that I keep and save every month, but I ended up with a few double copies, and finally just sat down and did it. I collaged only Free People images and a few of my own fabric scraps, and modge podged them to some board that Hubby saved for me from a construction job. So the whole project was pretty much recycled. I had so much fun that I made TWO!!!! Now I have something pretty to look at on my walls everyday, and a little bit of inspiration as well.

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!

Living on the Spine By Christina Nealson

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!

Blueberry Cell Phone Case, Tree Series

I have been making cell phone cases lately. Here is the Blueberry. They fit most cell phones.

And... Here is a sampling of the Tree Series I have been working on, that I will soon have for sale. I have been taking pictures of trees and their bark for awhile now. I love the different textures and colors, and how unique each section of the tree is.

Green Green Green and Polly Poncho

This is the Polly Poncho. Pretty similar to the Phoebe Poncho.

Green Green Green!!!! This is what it looked like while visiting family, it was so lush, it was like a jungle. This is not what Colorado generally looks like, it was amazing. I really didn't want to come home :(

The Phoebe Spring Poncho

Here is my new creation: A lacy, loosely knitted, spring poncho. This one is called The Phoebe.

I can't wait to make myself one.

I am hoping to load on some new nature photos I have been taking, and eventually want to sell on Etsy. I am thinking of opening a new shop seperately for photography. Have a good one!

New Life, Nature, Textures, and a New Poncho

I was consumed with wonder for all of the unique textures and colors and natural beauty that surrounded us on our little getaway. Here are some of my favorite captured moments.

And here is my new creation called The Lucy Spring Poncho. It's knitted with thin acrylic yarn so it's really airy and lightweight. A perfect accessory for warmer weather. Enjoy your day, we are getting a little bit of rain here!
