Christmas is Over!

Christmas is over, but surprisingly enough, business is still steady! I just received an order for a lined hat and mitten set.  And right before Christmas, I got an order for a special order hat. All in all, I'm pleased with how my winter season has been going. I've even been forecasting out what I'd like to get done for next year. I'm definitely pursuing a small local show and plan on getting ready for it this spring and summer when business is sure to slow down.

Winter is here though, and there is still plenty of cold weather left, along with the need for toasty hats and mittens. Plus bags and purses are a year round accessory. One of my goals is to use up the yarn I have before buying more. We'll see how that goes! Easier said than done! My website is also in need of updating and items need to be added. I guess it's a good sign that I haven't had the time and have been too busy with orders!

There is currently a wait time of 1-2 weeks for all hat and mitten custom orders, and a 2 or more week wait time for all purses and bags not in stock. Things go fast, so order now!

A New Hat - not listed yet

I just finished and shipped out a custom 1920's style felted knit tam. It is loosely based on a non-felted crochet pattern from the 1920's. I'm really pleased how it turned out! Let me know if you are interested in one! It's created in 100% peruvian wool.

Business picking up! Get those orders in!

I have been delinquent in my postings lately. I wanted to let you all know that business is picking up. If you have orders you'd like done by Christmas, especially custom orders, I suggest you order soon! Custom orders can sometimes take 2 weeks or more to complete - not always, but sometimes. I'm currently working on 3 pairs of custom mittens and a custom hat, and will be starting another 2 pairs of mittens with matching hats next week (or as soon as I get the colors from the client).

Artfire Sale!

I'm currently offering 15% off every order from now until Sunday Sept. 20!

Yarnaholic

I am a certified yarnaholic. I suppose there are worse things to be addicted to though! I love trying out new fibers, strolling down the yarn aisles, touching yarn, and even smelling it! I do believe I am passing this on to my kids too. Today, while picking up a few supplies at one of my favorite craft stores, my 5 year old chose a skien of yarn as her little gift for being such a good helper. She and her 7 year old sister have recently learned how to crochet.

A pic of my kids and a family friend playing with yarn.

So while my daughter came away with 1 skien, I came away with 8. I saw these new yarns and immediately started thinking of what I could make with them. This one would make a beautiful hat, that one a wonderful bag, and oh this would be just perfect for that pair of mittens, etc.

Here are my latest aquisitions:

Sensations - Kashmira Pattern, one in shades of green, one in shades of purple. As you knit, it creates a wonderful pattern

Lion Brand - Alpine Wool, 100% wool roving yarn. I got some cinnamon and some olive. A bulky yarn that I just love the feel of!

Plymouth Yarn - Galway. This is in a lovely olive green color with flecks of darker green.

As I look at this list, I realize that I must be in a green phase! Oh well, I went through a pink one recently, then brown, why not green?

If you have any yarn favorites, I'd love to hear them!
