KAL For Quick Knitted Gifts

So you all know that I work at The Knitting Bee, right? I love our little shop and we have a very talented staff! So Every year during the Holidays we design patterns that are quick knits to give as gifts even if the giving is just to ourselves! I know some of you don't give your knitting away :) Anyway the Bee's have been BUSY this year and we have decided to make it a KAL (knitalong) So Starting on 10/20/13 we will be meeting at the Bee to share in our Holiday Knitting! Come on in and get the yarn for the pattern of the week at a discount and knit with us! If you send us pictures of your finished projects you will be entered to win a $50.00 gift certificate (yarn has to have been purchased at he Bee). You can always call us and we will ship it to you :) Anywho here is the first pattern, designed by: Nancy Hinsch

Crazy

I am really making an effort to work on my Christmas knitting. I finished a pair of socks that have been on the needles for a while. I love Zauberball Crazy! The yarn has an amazing range of colors and holds up really well to wear. I have a a lot of people on my list that like socks for Christmas. Hand-knit socks really are the best.

OH OH you have to see another picture of the general cuteness that is filling up all my camera space! We sure love this little kitty. My son did name her, and her name is Cinder Fluff :) I call her Cinders.

Twist on Josephine

I made shawl recently for my best friends mother. She is a very classy and trendy lady and she happens to live in a cold climate. I thought that all of the above called for a Josephine knit with a twist! Simple and elegant but the colors are trendy. I LOVE this shawl and may have to make one for myself. Josephine by:Susan Gutperl I used 3 skeins of Silky Wool in Charcoal and 1 skein of Silky Wool in Chartreuse. US #6 needles. I didn't twist the yarn overs closed when knitting them. Silky wool is one of my all time favorite yarns if you haven't tried it, please do!

I hope she loves it as much as I do! I will give it to her during the Holidays therefor it resides at Knitting Bee for the moment, come on by and check it out. Happy Adventures, Trish

My Baby's B-day

It is my baby's B-day! I can not believe that my youngest child is 10! Yikes! Time really does go by fast. It seems like just yesterday he was born. There is a part of me that is so sad that my boys are growing and then another part of me is so excited at the prospect of having more me time :) I guess that is all natural! So this is a Happy Birthday to my boy and here is a picture of him with is B-day present! Still trying to think of a name.

As Promised

Okay, I have pictures of the sweater I just finished! I love it and it is sooooooo cozy. I can't believe that I took it off and left it at the shop for customers to play with! The pattern is Iced by: Carol Feller. I changed a couple of things just a bit and there are notes on my project page. The yarn is the Yummmmmmmmy Kodiak that I bought at the Knitting Bee and the sweater is there if you are local and want to touch it.

Oh Oh and I am working on my Christmas list this morning! Yikes I better get knitting! Happy Adventures, Trish

I just might be designing......

Well after I finished my two projects yesterday I started designing a pattern for Knitting Bee's Top 10! You see every year we Bees design 10 new patterns and give them away as the Holiday Top 10 Quick and Easy Holiday Gifts. Here is a sneak peak at mine..... Not saying exactly what it is but I can tell you that the yarn is yummy and it is super fun to knit :)
