One knitted Infinity scarf done, one to go!

 Hello Friends,


How is everyone’s weekend going?  I have had a great weekend, spending time with my boyfriend, my family and seeing a friend today for lunch. I have also been busy with several projects on the go.  I like to keep busy though so I enjoy having plenty to keep myself busy! I am sure we have to do this anyways whether we like it or not!

Today I got busy knitting a dark green infinity scarf for another client.  I am enjoying knitting the scarves because I am so familiar with the pattern and I can enjoy watching television or videos online while knitting, it is a very relaxing time.  I use ribbed stitch (knit two, purl two) so it is very repetitive and simple.  I finished the gray infinity scarf below for another client last week.  I posted a photo of the scarf below and used it as a background to the green scarf in progress as well :)

Another grey infinity scarf complete!

I hope you all have a lovely end of your Sunday!
Take care,

Five Knitting Ideas for Valentine's Day!

Hello Friends,


Valentine's day is just around the corner! (22 days away) and I decided to share some knitting project ideas so you can have some fun things knitted up just in time for Valentine's day.  These are things you can knit up for a loved one or for yourself!  I would love to knit myself some of these things like the infinity scarf and the mug cozy, maybe I will!
Below are five of my favorite ideas of knitting ideas especially for Valentine's day.  All of these ideas and photos are from other people and I have included links to follow to see more of their work and the patterns for these projects.  I hope you enjoy looking through !



1.  Knitted candy pouches.  
This idea was found on Pinterest! These are so cute and a great way to give candies as a gift to a loved one!

 2.  Valentines with a knitted heart.
I love this idea from The Sitting Tree, it incorporates the knitted touch and looks so sweet.  I think the heart would be fairly easy to knit up and the rest can come from the heart inside!

 3.  Red brick infinity scarf.
I like this idea found on Etsy from madamepeace.  It would be great to be wearing a cozy red infinity scarf around this time of the year!

4.  "Je T'aime" Valentine's mug cozy
I love this idea found on Pinterest,  I love the idea of knitting up a mug cozy for someone I love and adding a touch of French charm.  It is so cute and sweet and gives the message to your recipient that you are t hingking of them.

 5.  Knitted hearts with a message
I like this idea from The Wool Nest of knitting a little heart to go into any Valentine's gift bag with a little heartfelt note attached.  It is such a sweet idea.

I hope you liked these Valentine's Day knitting ideas and you can knit one of them up for yourself or those you love!

Have a great night!

Knitting baby booties and scarf progress!

Hello Friends,


I have been so busy lately I am sorry that I went so long without posting!  I am always been thinking of you and trying to find the time to post and say hello.  I have been knitting a scarf lately because a couple weeks ago I got a request for a couple scarves to be knitted for my sister's friends.  I have been busy knitting one up and want to finish soon to give it to them before the winter goes away.
Another plan I have in the works is to knit baby booties and a blanket for my cousin.  She is having her second child in February and I am so happy for her!  I want to knit her up some baby booties and a blanket to welcome the little one.  I am so excited to be knitting these things I think it will be a fun project.  Below I posted some photos of the wool I will use and the scarf in progress!

The wool I will use for the baby booties and blanket.  The wool is Loops & Threads "Snuggly Wuggly" and the color is called "Petal dots".


The scarf I am knitting for a returning customer!

Happy New Year!
I hope you all have a great day!
Take care,

Lisa
