Product photos…

I’ve been unable to book a photo session for my pattern photo updates, so I’ve taken it into own hands! LOL!

I have to admit, it’s difficult getting creative when it’s just me, myself and I but I’m trying.

I did manage to get a few decent photos of my Demi Gloves and will be updating the photos in the pattern soon.

Off now to do some reading on how to have a successful selfie photo shoot!

Enjoy your day and happy knitting.

My second pattern re-do complete…

My Demi Gloves pattern re-do is now done.

The pattern will be staying the same so you can still purchase it, it just won’t have really nice photos. 😉

I’m going through some of the first patterns I wrote to update the photos but also the pattern itself if needed. I want to make sure my instructions are clear.

I still have a few more patterns to re-do, but also new patterns to write up, so it’ll be a busy year for me.

I’m hoping to book a photo session late Spring so I can get everything updated and published by Fall. That’s the plan anyway.

Well, I have a lot of knitting to do and it won’t get done on it’s own, so off I go.

Have a great weekend and happy knitting.

First one done…

My first pattern re-do is done!

Now to update the pattern then into the photo shoot pile it goes.

I hope to get a few more patterns redone over the Christmas holidays so I can book a photo shoot early in the New Year.

Here’s a peek at the updated “Hooded Scarf”.

Happy knitting!

Christmas presents???

Hi everyone!

September is right around the corner and this is when most knitters (including myself) start thinking about Christmas presents!

I have quite a few people I like to make presents for, so the sooner I start, the better.  I try to pick projects I know I can complete in a couple of days – scarves, hats, gloves, dish cloths, etc.

So, if you’re looking for a quick and easy project that would make a great Christmas gift, here’s a FREE pattern for a Chunky Knit Scarf.  You can click here for the pattern.

I used King Cole Super Chunky yarn I purchased from loveknitting.com.

And stay tuned because I’ll be sharing a new pattern soon! 😀

Happy knitting!

I’m thrilled…

It’s not a towel…

Hello there!

A couple of days ago I shared a sneak peek with you of a project I was making that wasn’t a towel! LOL!!

Here it is!  I made a scarf! Yes, I know it’s the beginning of summer, however, scarves are always a simple and quick project and I wanted to start something I knew I could complete!!  😉 I used a super chunky yarn which made the project go even faster!

I used King Cole Super Chunky yarn that I purchased at loveknitting.com.   It’s so so soft!!

I also created a pattern for the scarf and it’s available for FREE right here!

So head on over to loveknitting.com and get yourself some yarn! It’s never too early to start those Christmas presents!

Happy knitting!

The hooded scarf…

Hi everyone!

The other day I shared a sneak peek of a project I was working on and here’s the finished product.

It’s a hooded scarf!

I’m not much of a hat wearer, but on some days I do need something to cover my head, so I was looking around Pinterest and I found pictures of hooded scarves! I figured those wouldn’t be too hard to make, so I came up with my own simple pattern.  Click here for the pattern.

I used 3 balls of bulky yarn (Loops & Thread “Charisma” available at most Michaels stores) and size 13 needles, but you can use whatever yarn you have in your stash and just modify the pattern accordingly.

It only took a couple of days to complete and I got it done just in time for the cold weather today!
