Well, I’ve been really busy with work and moving lately. I haven’t had time to post on my blog! I am back… my goal is to post everyday! I am busy knitting and crocheting some orders for wrist warmers, fingerless gloves… etc. I love knitting these especially with this soy wool I stumbled upon. I love it. It is really soft and doesn’t itch at all. This pair of gloves is for my co-worker Michelle. She already has the pink pair I made (listed on my Etsy Store  Corner Lot Creations / username… craftyjuicebroker) and now I am making this pair and a blue pair for friends of hers for Christmas. Knitting is really my passion but I really love it when I can make items for other people. I have had quite a few orders on Etsy in the past few months. Knitting really helps me relax.  I especially love knitting with double points or circular needles so I can knit in the round.

I was really shocked last night… my 16 year old daughter asked me to knit her  a couple scarves in different colors. I have been telling her for months that I would make her some but she said she doesn’t wear them. Well, I taught her how to knit about 7 years ago. I told her to pick out some Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn from my yarn stash and grab the large needles. She gathered her items and then I told her to get started. I showed her how to get started and there she went, knitting away. She chose the Creme Ecru color. We went to pick up my younger daughter at soccer practice and then to Costco. She took her knitting with her and knitted her scarf while waiting. She finished the scarf last night and used it today at school. I was so proud of her and really excited that she is interested in another hobby of mine! Now, she has friends who are requesting she make them one too. At least now I will not be the only crazy knitter in this house! I will start baking this weekend so you will see some yummy photos and recipes over the weekend. I hope everyone has a great Holiday weekend…. knit on and happy shopping and selling on Etsy!

Oh yeah… I have 1/2 price items listed in my Etsy Store… come check them out!
