Ida Red

Yesterday was A make:Christmas at Ida Red and I had a fantastic time.  I got to hang out with friends and chat with friendly people and even sell some stuff that I hope will be opened with joy on christmas morning.  :-)

My booth

Bridgette and I shared a booth like we usually do.  I Christmased it up a bit for this show.  I had ornaments I was selling on my little tree and three cowboy snowmen up for grabs.  (I still have the cowboy snowmen, so message me if you want one.  I had them marked at $30, but I am willing to do $20 + shipping)

Sunshine and Carousels
We were set up between the lovely Erin of Sunshine and Carousels and

Gleeful Peacock

We had lots of shoppers most of the day.  It was a great vibe all around and I am so glad Ida Red invited us to do it.  I hope they invite us back again.

I did at a slower point towards the evening get to get up and look around the store (I admit, I had never been there before).  They sell some really cute Tulsa tees and a ton of old fashioned candy.  Mmmm, candy.  I had to talk myself out of a lot of the candy, but I did get one bag of old fashioned molasses candy.  I love molasses.  They also had a bunch of funky accessories, really cool tights, purses, etc.  If you haven't been in there and you live it Tulsa, you should go by and check it out sometime. 

I knit all day while I wasn't talking to customers or running round looking at things.  I finished a couple of bows and a hat that I didn't get a picture of.
Bowed

Bow for Penelope
The great thing about the bows is that the ribbing is super stretchy, so they will fit and adult head or a child's head.  They are too big for tiny babies, but the black one went home with a three year old and its just like the blue one only a little wider (by request).

Lastly, I want to share with you some cuteness:
My hat plus S&C flower
Its my baby pinch hat with a Sunshine and Carousels pink flower.  How cute is that?!?

Thanks Ida Red and the whole make:Tulsa group for such a fantastic day!

LOVE YOUR BLOG, it almost makes up for missing the Ida Red show. Thanks for inspiring me to dust off my knitting needles :)

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

Ridiculously Easy 3x3 hat

So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche...

Production Day & Giveaway!

There is less than a week until the Arkansas Fiber Arts Extravaganza. Even though my stitch markers didn't move well at Indie Emporium, I have high hopes for them this coming weekend. This audience will be completely different, for starters. This time it is a fiber specific event and the people who are coming should actually know what they are! Despite not being very down in inventory, I decided to have a production day to add variety to my stock. It started out as me thinking, oh I'll just make a few today while I have some time. Then I got going and decided I was having fun, so why not have some Chai and make some more. Riley helped by pushing me off the sofa more than once. Ripley did too, but I didn't catch a picture of him doing it. By mid afternoon I had opened new beads, fixed myself a tray of grapes and cheese, finished off the chai and was grooving at a pretty good pace. By the time I needed to get up and get going for my evening plans I had made 15 new sets,...
