I have returned!



Hi all! I hope your holidays were amazing! My two week jaunt to see family and friends was great, but as always it is great to return home too. All handmade gifts were a hit! And I even have requests for knit items next year, yay! These area couple photos of a few of gifts I made - I can hardly believe I got them all done!

Also while I was gone there was a lot of knitting going on, as you might imagine. With a 17 hour train ride both ways and one 5 and half hour delay I was able to complete a long natural wool scarf, gray fingerless gloves, 2 sets of wash cloths, and begin a hat to match the gloves - so be watching the shop for new arrivals over the next week.

And today I posted a new scarflette that I love! Check it out.

    Hooray for handmade christmas gifts!!! I made a game for my sister and her boyfriend. They'd better not ask for that again next year. It was SO much work! Knit things though...wonderful. =D

    Glad people loved your gifts! I get a mix. Some people appreciate them and others think I was cheap to make something instead of buy something. BAH HUMBUG to them!

    Saw your blog post on Etsy and thought I'd drop by to say "hi".

    I wish I had 17 hours to knit!

    And I agree with Sunny Kristi about people thinking handmade items cheap. My sister-in-law wanted pillows for her couch so I said I would make her some for christmas and my mom and brother acted like I was being a totally cheapo for wanting to do so!

    It looks like the gifts were a hit. I honestly think knitting is the best craft for travel. Nothing really beats it.
