Pop-up Shopping in Downtown Tulsa

Sorry I have been absent (again). There is so much going on! The Jenks Church Fall Craft Show was fantastic, definitely a success and hopefully I will be able to do it again next year. My next be show is Alliday on December 17th, but in the mean time, check this out:

SomerKnits will be participating in the Pop-up Shopping District in Downtown Tulsa via the Indie Emporium Store!!

Haven't heard of it? Check out this article by the Tulsa World.

There is also this great post on the make:Tulsa blog.

And be sure to check out the facebook page!

Basically, a bunch of local businesses will be setting up temporary retail shops around the 5th and Boston area of downtown Tulsa. The Indie Emporium shop is over near Elote and almost directly across the street from Mod's. If you have never been to Elote or Mod's then you are totally missing out. Come shop the cute shops and grab some good eats. We'll be open November 30th to December 30th, Tuesday - Saturday. The post in the make:Tulsa blog has the actual times listed.

If you live in the Tulsa area, I hope you have time to come check out this exciting venture! So much to do to get ready....

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

The Illy Cowl & Pattern

I was inspired by the fabulous Ilene of Much Love, Illy and her love for mustard colored accent pieces, so when she very patiently dealt with my first blog advertising endeavor, I decided to send her a little something. I had some designs floating around in my head, but this one spoke to me as really being her style, so the Illy Cowl was born. (picture stolen from Ilene, with her permission of course) Here's a couple close-ups. It's an easy, fairly open lace-work pattern that looks far more complicated than it actually is. It's also lightweight and comfortable on. I played around and took some pics before I mailed it off. Last week I worked on a purple version, which I inadvertently made wider than the original. (Nothing like screwing up your own pattern, huh?) I forgot that I only put one repeat of garter rows between the lace repeats, oh well. The mix up caused me to run out of yarn in the middle of THE VERY LAST ROW. Sooooo frustrating! And it was during

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
