Sweet Vintage Sweet

Another sweet pattern from DaKine Knits. If you’ve not knit one you are missing out. Super fun and a quick knit.  Since our leaves have turned and the frost has been showing early mornings I thought stocking a few warm hats to the Etsy Shop would be a good idea.

Here are a few I recently added

 

A few Poppy Hats were added as well

 

And a couple of custom hats that have shipped

And I’ve yet to list…about 5 more. 

As always they are waiting for photos.

Summer saw us super busy with family & the garden so posting’s were far and few between. I still knit off and on so there are numerous items to list yet. Longies are being stocked weekly, doll clothes are piled waiting for….you guessed it photos!

The next few days I’ll have posts of recently listed longies and doll clothes.

I’m back open for customs! 

I have a few in progress (oh,I need to up-date the customs page!) and will have plenty of time for a few Christmas knits as well.

Welcome Fall!

Stay warm out there!

A few more knits stocked at Katidids Knits

Starting a bit of fall knitting. 

Sized to fit size 3-5 a short sleeved capped sweater and matching hat. Perfect for layering in the changing fall weather. 

I dug into the acrylic/wool blend for this one…making it totally washable!

 

And then there is a pair of Waldorf Doll Longies. Knit in a  green and grey camo….

These have a 5 inch inseam & will fit a variety of dolls.

Small Longies using Moonlight & Laughter’s worsted wool. (I love her colors)

A fun mix of girlie colors

Ruffles and eyelets ready for ribbons (if you so choose) finish the legs.

That’s all for today, I’ve a few more to list tomorrow and then I will be open again for customs!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

Staying Inside Sewing

is my plan for the day.

Yesterday was a surprising 71 degrees and I was out running errands in my shirt sleeves.  Today it’s 38 and getting colder.  Balmy weather for you up north with chattering teeth becoming buried in snow I know. I think I would rather have a sustained cold than this roller coaster weather.  So I’m hibernating inside with a bit of sewing

My project this morning, working on a quilt.

The blocks are all cut to size, ready and waiting for me to cut & add the upper & lower borders.  How I’ll actually place the blocks I’m not sure.  I had a great design in mind and accidently trimmed a bunch of blocks 3/4 of an inch to short.  The adage “measure twice cut once” comes to mind!

I think quilting is a bit like life. It may not always turn out as you planned but by using what you have it’s still good!

What are you working on today?

A Simple Touch Of Luxury

That feel so good & a treat for your dry winter skin

Stitches are knit by me with eco friendly 100% cotton in various patterns

The cotton gently exfoliates and is soft enough for babies skin

My Soap sacks are large enough to handle the big bars and help minimalize waste.  The draw string holds your soap in place & provides a easy hang cord.

Fresh Blue, White & Yellow cheerful spring colors

Neutral Sand and White

These Blue, Ivory & Sand  Spa Cloths are knit double stranded for that extra touch of luxury

making them them a treat for you and a perfect for gifting.

Customize your color to match your bath and they will be ready to ship within a week.

What are your perfect color combinations?

Sometimes the beauty

Is in the simplicity. 

Such is the design of this kerchief

 Age of Steam & Brass

combined with a color way from Lunabud Knits

Designed to be worn as a kerchief or a backwards shawl with the length draped in the front.  The ends are long enough to wrap around the neck comfortably. 

A kerchief to wear in the *v* of your jacket to keep your chest warm & leave on as an fun accessory…..

I think I need to make one for me!

Playing Un-supervised in Fabric Stores

I’ve been having fun making a bunch of these little dresses

and some sweet little skirts. 

Only a few have made it to the Katidids Etsy shop & Little Trunks Knits . 

Last night I decided I needed some color inspiration & to feed the fabric addiction fabric stash.

So, soon to be skirts and dreses…

For some reason I just can’t pass owls or birdies!

It’s been a fun way to blend my 2 favorite activities, sewing and knitting. I think the garden clean up may have to wait for an afternoon or 3 longer!
