I think I'm onto something...

Ok guys, I feel like I made something very special today... lol...

What do you think?

What is it?  Well, it's a hair clip!!!

Glass Tiles Are Fun!

I thought I'd post a picture of the kind of work I've been doing lately.  I've been mounting images on scrabble tiles and glass tiles and coating them with a hard resin.  I really love the effect and am so pleased with my work.  I had my first sale on etsy, and I'm so excited!

Here's the one I sold:

Exploring!

Well I've been branching out in my crafting...

After posting my knitwork on Etsy, I've been exploring other avenues and have made some accessories and jewellery.  I'm really enjoying working with Scrabble and glass tiles.  I have enjoyed how Etsy has given me a reason to get so crafty lately and I am having a blast!  Check out my new goodies!  I'm so proud....

Kniting Videos Online

Hey, I thought I'd let any new knitters who check my page know about the resource that was most helpful to me when I started out.  Knitting Help has videos that show how to do many versions of the different stitches you need.  This was really helpful for me because I learned most of my techniques on my own.  Reading the descriptions of a stitch in a book is really nothing like watching someone do it in front of you.  This website bridged that gap for me and I hope it helps many others!!!

Newer Projects

It's been a while since I posted pictures, but that doesn't mean I've stopped knitting!  I managed to get some photos of other projects I've made, and am finishing a couple of other ones right now.  I'll be sure to get them up soon!!

Caelan's Newborn Sweater

This sweater was made in the same yarn as the trim of his big boy sweater. It wraps around, making it easy to put on a newborn, and can be worn frontwards or backwards. This pattern was very quick to make (partly because of his tiny size!) and introduced some neat new techniques.

Mum's Hat

Simple hat in a nice shiny blue wool - gloves to come soon! (Started them, made a mistake, got angry - to be continued!)

Knitting is for Cool People!!!

Hi all,

I wanted to centralize my knitting work and put it on display (if only for myself). I LOVE this hobby and I love that it results in gifts for the people I care about (and the babies I care about!) Here is my work so far and I'll keep adding new projects as they are finished.
