Cowls

Hello!

I've been knitting these past few days with thick, bulky yarn and big knitting needles. The largest needles I have are size 15. I can't wait to be able to try larger ones.

So here are 3 cowls that  made. I didn't follow any pattern. They are not finished yet. I have to find buttons and sew in the stragglers. When they are fully finish I will post better pictures.

Thanks for reading!

The Long Project: Vinny V

Hello!

This is one long project!
An update on the Vinny V WIP (work in progress)
So I knitted and attached the ears and eye patch. I snapped on the safety eyes. Cut and started to sew the mouth but haven't finished yet. Sewed the arms on. Still have to finish sewing the mouth, stuff the head/body and sew it closed and then attach the legs. Almost there! The pattern I'm using is from the book by Rebecca Danger called "Knit a Monster Nursery" (click to link to amazon.com)

Here are some pics:

Toddler Girl Hat

Hello! 
The baby bear hat that I made was so simple that I decided to make a hat for my daughter, since the dress didn't work out. 

This was quite fast to make. I used the same pattern for the baby bear hat but made a flower instead.

New Small Business

Hello!

Thanks for your support reading my blog! 

I was surfing the web a week ago and came across this http://yarnovertruck.com/ 
A truck full of yarn that comes to your neighborhood! 
This would be perfect! I would love to open a truck in Northern New Jersey.
 I don't have the funds yet. If you would like to contribute I have added a "donate" button to this blog. 

I would like to open it with in the next year. With every step I would post a new blog entry, and with pictures when available. The complete finished boutique would be posted  the day of the unveiling. 
It's not something that is popular here in NJ, not that I have seen so far. 
As with every business there are pros and cons. One of the cons for Northern NJ is winters are cold, and sometimes very snowy. One of the pros would be having the yarn boutique come to you for a party or get-together.

I am new to the yarn scene but I know that I would love to be in that truck meeting great people! The thought of driving around in the van and stopping in different towns is exciting. Going to yarn crawls, oh man that would be fun. And seeing all the creativity being produced right in front of me while we sit around outside the truck. I also have great support from family and friends.   

If you have any comments I would love to read from you.

I have a long way to go. I hope you will join me on this adventure and read about the progress being made.
