Wednesday greetings!


Hello friends!! Happy Wednesday... these days seem
to be flying by so quickly! We had a little snowfall last
night, here in Alberta, but the sunshine today is melting
all that fell in the evening. It looks so pretty, like
diamonds, brilliant and sparkly! :) 

Below are links to my books and crafts... you're welcome to
share these links with your friends and family. I appreciate
all of you for your support in my arts. 

Have a beautiful Wednesday with much love, Debra

the green...I crocheted these Tunisian style.

On Sale Now - Halter







I have just listed a halter top on Etsy that I finished yesterday.
The body and cording are knit and edges are crocheted with
a coordinating color. Done in earthy tones with acrylic and an
acrylic/wool blend yarn. It can be adjusted to fit body with the 
cording, or tied behind for a different look. Very versatile in \
style. Can be worn year round. I have put this on sale for 
weekend... it is now $5 off the original list price. 
Have a great weekend!

New Knit Scarf with Crochet Rose

I've been doing quite a bit of hand knitting
lately. Working on some cowls for my Etsy
shop. This black scarf can be worn like a
cowl with the detachable crocheted red rose.
It can be pinned in front, at the shoulder... or
worn without, whatever suits your mood. 
This particular scarf I knit on my bulky machine
in a tuck stitch, so it's reversible (opposite side
is stockinette stitch). I'll be working on more
of these with a variety of flowers, colors, 
styles, lengths and stitches... you can also
add your own brooches for a completely 
different look...I'll be making those too...lol

Have a happy weekend!! :)

New Knit Hats for Winter

Today I knit 2 different toques to choose 
from. The top brown hat is a bit lighter 
weight than the bottom gold hat... gold is
much heavier and thicker in bulk. Both
styles can be worn slouchy or hem up
for extra warmth. Great for winter. 
Choice of color available by request
on my Etsy site.

These were manually knit on my Elna 2300 bulky
knitting machine and finished off by hand. I
think I will do some different patterns and stripes
for more variety! Hope your week is going great!
We are having a snowy day today... at least 3 inches
already!! BRRRRRRRRRRR... I better knit myself an
extra thick hat to keep my head and ears warm!  lol 
Enjoy the rest of the week..weekend is almost here!!

Etsy! I have much work to do and many things to list. It
will be keeping me very busy while I take better photos and
list each item for sale. I would like to invite you to browse
my shop on a regular basis, as you know, I am always making
something!! :)  I hope to get much more up tomorrow. So far,
only 3 items up. Have a happy Sunday!! Below is the link.

Fine Gauge Knit Scarf

Here is a blue knit scarf with a hint of gray tone. This is very 
light-weight fabric, nice if you don't want too much bulk 
around the neck. Suitable for a man or woman. 

This scarf, I knit on a Toyota 901 4.5 mm (or standard gauge) 
punch card manual machine. I will be knitting more items with
this machine in the coming months. I love the look of
the finer stitches. :) 



Above shows both sides... 2 looks in one. :) 
Thank you for stopping by! Have a 
happy weekend! 


Scarves


Here are 2 finished scarves. One custom order, 
blue and red Fair Isle pattern knit by machine. 


Below shows both sides of the scarf.


The Teal scarf was knit in a basketweave
pattern by hand with soft brushed acrylic yarn. 



Nice and warm. :) 
Winter is coming.

October Knits

The past few days I haven't been on the pc much. I've
been knitting and trying out some new stitches. Below are 
some of the things I've been working on. Winter is coming!
The snow has melted but the chill is in the air! 
Some of these are finished... some not so finished\!! lol


Wool blend scarf... soft and warm.


A cotton cloth... of some sort. ;)


 A toque trio... my son got to choose which one
he wanted ... can you guess? Okay... he liked all
three. He refuses to wear store bought so I made
him these... :)




  A wool blend scarf... cool stitch and tweed yarn.


A soft fuchsia color scarf - to - be. ;)


and another cotton thingie. ;)


Teal ... :) And I don't know what it will be yet. lol


Above will be another toque when 
I'm done sewing it all up!



Above is a cotton dish towel or place mat... I haven't
decided yet! Maybe a bathroom face towel! :)


I decided to punch out a blank punch card with a new design
and I made a few holes in places where there shouldn't
have been...I'm out of practice! But...a little tape to 
cover the mistakes and it worked out... it's just a sample
to see the stitch... I'll be unraveling it and I'll try a 
sport weight yarn instead of the worsted weight. 

So there you go... what I've been doing...OFF the pc!! lol

Enjoy your Sunday!!! Much love, 
from me... :)
