Rhys's Pieces

Here is a peek at the hooded scarf I have been working on.  Its toddler size and I think its pretty cute.
 I haven't gotten the mittens done yet.  One is mostly done, I stalled for a bit in deciding exactly how much "room to grow" I wanted to leave in them.  
 I finally decided on putting buttons on the ends of the scarf and attaching the mittens to i-cords that would attach to the buttons.  This will allow the mittens to be swapped out for bigger ones as he grows, since I assume the hooded scarf will fit longer than the mittens will, or for the mittens to just be removed entirely if they are becoming a nuisance.  
I took copious notes as I was knitting this hooded scarf and plan to put the full pattern out eventually, but you will have to be patient.  I will link the mitten pattern I am using, but I am not going to reinvent the wheel just to put a mitten pattern with this scarf pattern.  

So that's all I have for now, really.  I do have a couple of other things in progress, hoping to finish up a few commissioned hats this week.  

Keep an eye out next month for some giveaways I will be doing on a couple other people's blogs.  I also hope to get to host a few giveaways from blog friends here.  I have on lined up for February, I think, so stay tuned, I think that should be a lot of fun.  

Don't forget about the January Picture Promotion.  January is almost over!  In February I will be having a referral promotion, more details on that soon.

Fur Hoodies said…
This is a simply beautiful hand knitted scarf. I could have never thought of such an innovative hood scarf. I will try getting the border made with fur. A fur scarf will also look beautiful.

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.  My whole Monday night knitting group went mad ov

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,
