Starting All Over


Good News/Bad News

The bag was too big, I ripped it and started all over/My Grandson's hat fit.


His mother loved it/He wouldn't wear it.


I made the cutest pouch purse/I have no where to wear it.

Nothing New Today

Nothing new today....off to see if the hat fits my grandson.

Took the Day Off

No experimenting today.
My hand hurts from using such small needles to knit my grandson's hat.
Worked on my Facebook today. I'm not sure I really understand how it works, but it is suppose to help business.
I think blogging is more fun.
Anything on the computer is fun.

The Design Process




There is none.


I just knit and rip...knit and rip.


I may have to rip it. It's not doing anything for me.


Too big, too heavy.


My grandson's hat looks great though.

The Creation Process


I've wound the hanks into balls. That took all afternoon.

I knitted a swatch.

...and, of course, my grandson's hat has gotten larger.
I like to multi-task

How to Create a Unique Handbag


Go to a sale at your favorite knit shop.
Buy whatever colors and textures appeal to you.
Take them home.
Lay them out in groups...stare at them until you need the space for other things.
Knit a hat for your grandson.
That works.
I'll keep you posted on what I do next.

Flower Power







Take a sniff...
My felted flower pins have really bloomed. They are selling everywhere. My energetic 89 yr. old mother-in-law knits the flower for me. I wouldn't have such a beautiful garden (or life) without her.
