Braided Headband & Stocking Katidids Etsy Shop

A few days ago I made this headband for my daughter.  It turned out as the pattern directed but I thought it’s a bit large and bulky…so I played with the pattern a bit and modified it to a trimmer version. It’s done and drying.  I should have a few photos up tomorrow.

My Katidids Etsy Shop finally has new stock!

I’ve a few more items to list but so far this week…

Large “Taos” shorties, a beautiful colorway from Wildflower Whimsy.

Small World Tree Shorties I just love the rich colors of Mosaic Moon!

And the Large Noro Capri’s

Winters finally on it’s way and I’m knitting summer garments?!?!?!

On the needles now is a Kenna Top In “Junebug”

Also a mini pair of longies I’m working up for a customers Waldorf doll.  If the pattern works out, I may start stocking them if there is any interest

And some more Noro…

I’m not sure what it wants to be yet, any ideas?

Snow tomorrow in the forecast means I’ll make a early morning run to ship orders…which means if I’m out early there will be NO snow!  Murphy’s law

Stay warm out there!

Knit Overalls & A Bit Of Test Knitting

I have some of the best customers! It’s fun when you have one that’s creative & thinks outside the box It’s even better when they can explain in detail exactly what they want!

Knit using the Knit Overalls basic design & using Little Trunks Knits “Pixie Stix”…

Convertalls?  No, that sounds like a revival..

We’ll think of something to call these!

Bad pic’s again but it was constant rain & I hope to get better tomorrow.

Button on legs, using Tessa Ann’s of course, rump ruffles and ruffled legs.

Ready to be mailed Tuesday morning!

A bit of test knitting!  This is the start of the “All in Onsie” pattern by Sweet Monkey Baby on Hyena Cart.  I’m using Wildflower Whimsy’s “Secret Garden”  LOVE IT!!

I’m much further along then the photo shows, just at the hip now.  Hope to have it completed tomorrow if time allows

Another test knit, the Vest/Singlet by Diana Townsley

A simple sweet top which could be used by either boy or girl. 

A nice summer top that could be also used in the fall for a vest or simple over tunic

We have sun shine and a day off tomorrow! We will be laying floors in the new workroom so I’m not sure how much actual knitting will be done. 

Tuesday I’ll have pic’s of some drool worthy yarn orders that have arrived

Enjoy the weekend

And were they a fun knit!  Constructed totally different than any I’ve knit before.

Fun, lots of options, LARGE size range… that works because of the design

These were knit with Wildflower Whimsy “Hopi” Lily Organic Merino which, will be a nice weight for summer

These should be listed to the shop tomorrow evening

I’ve another pair completed, all but the buttons

Also just completed was a pair of custom shorties for Gail

Lanolized and on the way
