Someone ordered a mustard doily blanket and I thought it would be a nice time to show you the packaging for Glory. It may vary from order to order, but you get the idea. :)

Someone ordered a mustard doily blanket and I thought it would be a nice time to show you the packaging for Glory. It may vary from order to order, but you get the idea. :)

(bow-tie style!)

Doily blanket folded up (as best as I can–it’s hard to fold a circle!), tied with a piece of my favorite vintage fabric, placed in a tissue-lined kraft box you can re-purpose for photos & whathaveyou. A postcard and my business card are taped to the back of the top. I decorate the outside a bit, put it in a poly-bag for waterproof-ness, wrap it with postal paper, and send it off to you. I personally love getting pretty packages in the mail. I hope you do, too. ♥ ♥ ♥

I have a few ready-to-ship doily blankets in the shop. If you would like a custom order, please send me an email (lisa@goodknits.com).

I got a custom request for a teal Glory. This is actually the same color I used for the Willow I made for my husband’s grandmother. She’s a crocheter so I knew she would appreciate the work it takes to make a doily. She loved it and I hope the person who receives this teal Glory loves this one just as well.

I have a few Glory blankets available in the shop, right now. If you would like to request a custom color, send me an email (lisa@goodknits.com) and I will do my darndest to find the perfect color for you. If you crochet and want to make your own, see the pattern details HERE.

I added a few “Glory” doily blankets to the shop. Let’s welcome them with a coupon, ok? Save 20% on your entire order with the coupon code SPRING20. If you are interested in a different color, send me an email (lisa@goodknits.com) and I’ll set you up with a custom listing!

I still need to take photos of the mustard and gray blankets. I will add them soon!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mine has included: a toddler haircut (!), a trip to the ER (!!), and a lazy Sunday.

Happy Friday, folks! I am super excited today because my home should have air conditioning by the end of the weekend. HOLY EXPENSIVE PURCHASE! We need it, though.

Happy Friday, folks! I am super excited today because my home should have air conditioning by the end of the weekend. HOLY EXPENSIVE PURCHASE! We need it, though. We’ve been fine the past 3 months without it because it was winter, but did I tell you about the time we were without it for 3 months IN THE SUMMER? Yeah, that happened when we first moved in. It felt like we didn’t even move in until we got it fixed because we camped out in the living room with a window unit the entire time. It was horrible! 100-degree [coastal] Texas summers are pretty darn bad. And if THIS is Spring, I can only imagine the heat we’ll be experiencing this summer.

ANYWAY! I am finally updating the shop for Spring. Huurah! I started with doily pins. I have 8 different colors available right now. Some classics and some brights. They will all look positively fantastic on your Easter dresses.

I’ll be adding brand new doily blankets (new pattern coming soon!!) in some beautiful colors, like HOT pink and persimmon, this weekend or early next. They’re seriously amazing. I want to live in a box full of doily blankets.

Have a good weekend!

Hello, friends!
I just wanted to pop in and let you know today is the last day to snag a custom doily blanket if you want it on time for Christmas. I limited the number of blankets to three, but I sped through two at lightning fast speed and so I added another. Two listings remain in the shop, HERE and HERE. If you are in the US, these are guaranteed to arrive to you before Christmas if you order today, maybe tomorrow. After this weekend, I can’t guarantee Christmas arrival, but I will do my best!

So snuggable.

Have a wonderful weekend! I’ll be back on Monday with a fun giveaway!

I spent my morning photographing and adding two Dory shawlettes to the shop. I really fell in love with this close-up. First, the colors are sweeeet and second, the sun in sparkling on the bottom half. I adore morning light. ADORE!

I think it’s pretty important to support your fellow stitchers and small businesses via Etsy, independent shops, or other websites like that. I am the only knitter I know in the “real world”, so if I want something to wear or accessorize with this winter, I have to make it myself. It’s going to be nice to wear something stitched up by someone else. :)

Check out the new additions to the GOODKNITS shop! I finally got around to putting some hats up, yesterday. They’re all woolly and just soso yummy. These were all made during my little obsession with fair isle, a few weeks back. My sons each have one and I have put the others up in the shop. I wrote a pattern for the hats in the bottom row and top center. If anyone is interested in a beginners fair isle pattern, let me know and I’ll get started on a post about it.

Enter coupon code WOOLLOVE to receive 20% off your entire order! That includes all the hats, doily blankets, and even my new photographic prints.

And now you can own one. I listed a few doily blankets in the shop, today! Could you believe I’ve crocheted 2 others that aren’t listed? The pattern has reached TV-crochet stage, so I can look up every few seconds and I don’t mess up catastrophically! HOORAY! Now, if only I could make my [Read More...]]]>

And now you can own one. I listed a few doily blankets in the shop, today! Could you believe I’ve crocheted 2 others that aren’t listed? The pattern has reached TV-crochet stage, so I can look up every few seconds and I don’t mess up catastrophically! HOORAY! Now, if only I could make my hands hook those stitches faster. I need robot hands. And maybe a robot brain.

I’m currently pattern-drafting again. I got doily blanket pattern #2 typed up and now I’m developing a different sort of doily-inspired project. Hello, evasive description! I promise to share when I get it just right. I think I want to combine all three of these patterns with a few smaller ones and create a little e-book. Doily Love. How does THAT sound?

I’ve got doilies on the brain so much I spelled the word “doily” TWICE in a single game of Words With Friends, the other day. Gah.

Let’s celebrate the entrance of the doily blankets to the world and the beginning of Fall with a special offer. Enter coupon code FALLTASTIC at checkout for 15% off your entire order! There’s some new hats in the shop, as well. I’ll be adding more in the coming days.:)

New to the shop: Scallop Fabric Covered Notebooks. Little (3.5″ x 5.4″) plain-page Moleskine cahier journals adorned with scallop-cut fabric tape–some vintage, some new, all beautiful. Go take a peek!

I’ll be back early next week to share my new goals for the year and what I accomplished and/or didn’t-quite-complete during my 25th. It’s a bummer not being able to complete everything, but life goes on, so the best I can do is to try again.
