Etsy Photos

So I'm going to admit something: I'm not the best photographer nor do I have the best camera. I rely on friends to help me out with this sort of thing. I'm going to consider it my part in "giving back" or whatever....

Anyway, so for the newest listings, my good friend Sean Scheidt helped me with the photos and I couldn't be any happier with the results! He mostly does fashion photography but has been known to dabble in the world of product photography.

I really can't wait to work with him again and hopefully I'll have more to list and more items to have fun with on our next shoot!

Below are a few of the photos he took for me, if you'd not had a chance to take a look at the listings. And I mean, if you haven't, what are you waiting for?!

Also, don't forget to head over to Bossy Italian Wife to enter to win one of my knit dish towels!

Giveaway time!!

I'm so so excited to announce that my good friend, Billie of Bossy Italian Wife is doing a giveaway on her blog featuring my dish towels!

Head on over to her blog (linked above) to enter for a chance to win!

If you don't win, though, FEAR NOT! I've listed some more in my etsy!! If you aren't fond of the colors available, please reach out to me! I'd love to work with you on a piece that suits your needs!

(This was my big surprise, guys! Hope you're as excited about it as I am!!)

New Etsy Listings!

Good morning!! Just wanted to pop in to let you know about the new listings I just put up on my etsy! Head on over to check them out!

And stay tuned for a little surprise in the next day or two :)

Sneak Preview

Lately I've been working on some pretty basic items for my etsy shop and I'm so very excited to share them with you!

They're 100% cotton dish cloths and dish towels!

 

The cloths are 10 inches by 10 inches and the towels are 21 inches by 11 inches.

I've also got a little surprise coming up, but that'll have to wait until the weekend :)
 

Tardis Shawl

If you're like me, you only recently heard of this site, but if you're more of an internetting-pro, I'm sure it's old news. Anyway, I recently (within the last year) started browsing reddit. Quickly, I found the Knitit subreddit and fell in love. I'm SO glad I did find it because recently there was a sign up for a Knitters vs Crocheters swap! How awesome! I immediately signed up and then became really nervous.

What if my match wants a huge blanket? What if their likes aren't that similar to mine and I'm unfamiliar with their likes?! What if they want something that's above my skill level?! What if, what if, what if!!!!!

As you can tell, I'm a crazy worrier and it's mostly all for naught. I was paired with someone who asked for a lace project (I've only ever done like two lace projects) and a Dr. Who themed item. I don't watch Dr. Who. OH NO!!!!!!

Luckily, I found Bigger on the Inside from Knitty's Spring/Summer 2012 edition!

First few rows of the lace portion

I actually just finished the shawl this evening. I still have to weave in ends and block it, but at least it's off the needles! 

Blurry Eleanor tries to get in close for a look.

By next time I'll have all the ends woven in and it'll be blocked.  I'm so excited to share the fully finished product!
