Merry Christmas, and finishing up some gifts!

 Hooray!  I finished another of these cuddle blankets for my youngest daughter-now just need to wrap it and put it under the tree.  Finally, some handmade blankets for my own house-although they don't really belong to me!  I used the Happy Go Lucky line from Bonnie and Camille, and bought the fabric from an online shop in PEI called Ella's Cottage.

 All this Christmas movie watching has given me extra knitting time.  I finished this teal cowl last night.  It's so pretty in person, it has some color variations in the wool, so soft and cozy.

Well, this may well be the last post until Christmas.  I have some other project ideas in mind, but let's be realistic-this house needs some cleaning and I need to cook some food.  Merry Christmas all!

Cozy knit cowl for -20C!!!

It is so cold here this last week or so.  And tomorrow we are expecting our first real storm of the season; 20-30 cm of snow!!  Better than having a green Christmas like we have the last few years though. 
         I finished up this tweed cowl last night-it will be warming up a friend in PEI soon.  Happy Saturday all!!

Cozy knit cowls

I made some knit cowls over the summer-finally decided to post them.  They are so cozy for this time of year.  I have another tweed one on the needles right now, and will share once it's done.

Somebody stop me.....

I just can't seem to stop myself from making these scarves-I mean I seriously have at least 50 in a bin in my craft room just waiting for the November fairs to start! Well, if they don't sell, I'm going to have some awesome accessories to wear this winter!!

Happy Friday!

Fall Plaids

On the advice of my fashionista sister, I've made a few plaid infinity scarves.  The response on my Facebook page has been very positive, so I guess another trip to the fabric shop is in order!  These are very cozy, and warm considering that it has gotten chilly here in the last few days!

Loving the fabric!

 Ok, I am in love with the blue floral.  I may need to keep this one for myself!! 

The gray stripe has a beautiful crocheted strip in it.  So pretty-yes, I am starting to prepare for fall craft shows!!  Crazy, but it's never too early to start-I'm not one to burn the midnight oil right before a show-in fact, I usually quit sewing a day or two prior and just do my packing/tagging etc.
Linking up to Randi at I Have to Say.

More cards and scarves....

 Still happily coloring some cards-made a set of cards for expecting Mom's today.

 Also colored these images-the ladybug girl is from Stamping Bella and the bunny is from Purple Onions Designs.

 Finished off some more scarves-buttercup yellow and a large scale black chevron.

Also a teal chevron and a navy and teal stripe (which I just mailed off this afternoon!

Coral striped infinity

So beautiful in person, I finished up this coral infinity scarf and it is so soft.  It's double width and hangs really full around the neck.  I had ordered this a long time ago, and just found the fabric beneath my "to do" pile!!  Sad to say such a pretty piece was forgotten about for a little while!!

Knit Cowl

 I know it's June, but I actually knit more in the summer than the winter.  Knitting is just so portable, for outside on the patio etc.  but with the cool weather I just may be wearing this soon!! 

 I made this cowl as a circle scarf, but not one that loops twice.  I just made it a little wider and it looks great just sitting around you neck once, and less bulky too.  I discovered a yarn shop in Dartmouth called Dartmouth Yarns and she has a beautiful selection of fibres in her store.  This is so soft, and has a wonderful sheen to it. 

Just a simple seed stitch pattern, used size 6 circular needles with 85 stitches.  I have a cream color on the same needles now, I  think I'll make that one a bit wider....

Lucky display find

 Browsing around Winners the other day, I found this jewellery mannequin and knew it would be perfect to display my scarves on at craft fairs and for photos.  I love it, and will be on the lookout for a slightly bigger one as well!  Anyhow, above is a coral and navy stripe scarf that I made yesterday.

                                            Grey and White Chevron

                                           Watermelon Pink and White Chevron

                                            Black and Ivory Chevron

                                            Navy and White Chevron

                                   Coral and White Chevron

These are so addictive, I swear I have to stop myself from just keeping them all for me!!

Gift set and a new scarf!

 I'm almost finished of my custom orders for scarves.  This one is a dark gray jersey with tiny silver pin dots.  It is very beautiful and soft, she wanted it to be double wide so it is very full.  I love it!!

I've started making gifts for the teachers at my girls school.  Above is a set of 5 cards that I will package in a handmade box.  Most supplies are Stampin Up! with the exception of the enamel dots which are My Mind's Eye.

This is one of the new in colors by Stampin Up!  It's Coastal Cabana, so lovely.  Makes me think of summer, which I sincerely hope will show up one of these days.  My girls go to a Francophone school, so the I used a French script background stamp, and just left each card blank inside.

 Almost forgot- I also made 4 of these rainbow chevron scarves, which are so pretty!!

And this is a soft, wide striped gray and white fabric.  It's also a double wide scarf, as I was finding that certain types of fabric weren't hanging as full as I would have liked them too.
