Infinity Scarves

We have been making Infinity Scarves most of this winter. 
This item is a favorite of many of our customers.



One of my cousins asked us to make a couple Infinity Scarves for her. 
She picked out the yarn and we created it. 
This scarf is made using Berroco Boboli Yarn.
This yarn is a mix of wool, acrylic and viscose.



Here is the other scarf she ordered.
This scarf is made using Plymouth Yarn - Kudo.
This yarn is a mix of cotton, rayon and silk.



The next two Infinity Scarves are made with Vanna's Choice - an acrylic based yarn. 
The color of this yarn is called oatmeal.



This color of this yarn is called Grey Marble.

As you can see the Infinity Scarf is a very versatile item. You can wear it long or up close to your neck for warmth. 

It sounds like we are going into the deep freeze again this week so please try to stay warm.

Flower Headbands

I met a good friend for dinner on a Friday evening. As we were talking she said "I bet you could make a headband like the one my mother gave me." I immediately pulled my phone out and said I have made similar headbands. She asked for three. Here's what I came up with for her.



This headband is made using Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice in Grey Marble. It's accented with black yarn on the top and bottom. The flower I started out with a black base and layered the grey marble yarn the top. I sewed a vintage button on this one.



This headband was made using Loops & Threads Impeccable yarn in soft taupe. I used a variegated tan and white yarn around the top and bottom and also used the same yarn to make the flower. I used another vintage button for the middle of the flower.



The black headband didn't photograph as well - but I used Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice in black. I accented the headband with a variegated black and white yarn and used the same yarn for the flower. I used a flower button on this headband. I do believe it was from one of my shirts that got old so I rescued the buttons.

A Sweater for Mans Best Friend

It's not fit for man nor beast out.
As you can see Timber got his new winter sweater just in time for the snow and cold weather. 


Timber seemed to have a good time playing outside in his new sweater.





Wear the sweater in good health Timber!

Baby Blankets in Stock

We have heard of several people expecting babies in the new year. 
That made Donna and I think perhaps we should have some baby blankets in stock. 
Our Mom helped us get started by giving us some of her baby blankets to start us out while we are making our own.
Here's what we have at the moment.




We do have one toddler blanket as well.


Here's a work in progress.


It's still on the needles and Donna will be working these other colors in as she continues knitting.

We do make custom baby blankets as well. Let us know the colors and we can work with you on a pattern that you like.
