The KnittingGuru Crochets Again

I've been working away on some crocheted jewelry projects I was asked to submit to an upcoming book published by Lark Books. This has been a really interesting experience as I tried to vary my style and materials as much as possible, and also to submit as many ideas as I could come up with. My deadline is Friday and I'll post some photos after that. Stay tuned in!

How About the Babies?

Image
All that jewelry is all well and good (and I did sell quite a few pieces at my Etsy jewelry sale!) But what about the babies? It's September 1st and that means checking the gift list for holidays. For parents and baby photographers, it also means holiday photos. For years now I've been selling my baby Christmas hats to photographers and parents. I make these hats for newborns, babies and toddlers. Usually, I don't make things in multiples because I prefer to do one of a kind and custom work. However, these hats make people so happy that it makes me happy to knit them! They can be seen at http://www.BurryBabies.etsy.com . Photographers and parents send me photos of these all the time. Here's a little baby gallery. I've included a couple of Hannukah hats too :)

The fact is that my selling venues have so expanded that I'm having trouble juggling so many balls at once. I now sell at: http://www.KnittingGuru.etsy.com http://www.KnittingGuru.1000markets.com http://www.KnittingGuru.artfire.com http://www.BurryBabies.etsy.com as well as at my two websites -- http://www.KnittingGuru.com http://www.BurryBabies.com If that weren't enough, I also can be found on: http://facebook.com/KnittingGuru http://www.twitter.com/KnittingGuru http://www.twitter.com/BurryBabies http://www.flickr.com/KnittingGuru http://www.flickr.com/BurryBabies and at Ravelry too where I sell my patterns So how can I find time to blog?

Plus - I knit a...

KnittingGuru Brings a Little Sunshine

Image
Spring is really here and the sun keeps shining. My garden could use some more rain, but I'm happiest when the sun's out. That's why I designed my latest scarf knitting kit... I call it Yellow Sunshine Lace Scarf Kit and it really does shine. Even if you think you don't like yellow, take a look at this. It's guaranteed to make folks happy. The kit comes in the new glossy silver shopping bags I've found and personalized with the KnittingGuru sticker. The kit contents are nestled in tissue paper in the bag and make a great gift for a knitter. Or knit the scarf and give it to someone you want to have more sunshine in their life. You can get the kit at KnittingGuru . I have lots of other lace scarf kits, too. Although I still haven't finished the mini-kits yet, I will have them up soon in time for the first beach days after Memorial Day Weekend. On a personal note, I'm working on some little bags to sell and to make into kits. Also, I just made the cutest Co...
