Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival

This weekend, Knitting by Pam and Donna made a trip to Downtown Pittsburgh to go to the Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival.

Here are some of our latest and greatest finds.

Let me give you some of the highlights of our purchases. We bought some pattens, some silk and alpaca yarn. Both of us bought some jewelry made from knitting needles and crochet hooks. Donna bought two hats that have stuffed animals at the top. I also bought a knit kit - that is a handy device that has a counter, a measuring tape, a pair of scissors, a small crochet hook and a darning needle. I have three of those - one for every room I knit in. I will never be without a knit kit now!

Spring Craft Shows

Even though it's still cold outside spring is right around the corner. 

I know this because our first spring craft show is tomorrow.

On March 7, we will be at the Penn Hills Council of PTA's 13th Annual Spring Craft and Vendor Show at Linton Middle School from 10a - 3p. 

On March 21, we will be at Homestead Park United Methodist Church Spring Craft Show at 4231 Shady Ave in Munhall, PA 15120 from 10a - 3p. 

Here are some of the items we will have at these shows.

Flower Headbands

Coffee Cup Cozy

Stuffed Monkeys

Scrappy Owls

Shamrock Towels and a whole host of other hanging kitchen towels.

Of course we will have scrubbies.

Think spring!

Scrappy Owls

Donna and I have made so many projects over the years - with each of those projects there is left over yarn. We have several big baskets full of left over yarn.

We have been trying to use the scrap yarn as not to throw them out. 

Here is one example of how we are using the scraps.

We call these creations Scrappy Owls.

Not one owl is the same - all unique.

We will be selling these owls at upcoming spring craft shows. 

Later on this week I will do a blog on where we will be in March.
