 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 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.:) While I wanted to start blogging with gusto in September, I am finding myself straying. Not far, don’t worry. I am just busy crocheting & knitting and preparing stock for GOODKNITS 2011. I thought I’d share a little peek with you. These hats are my favorite. Made of soft wool in a few different lovely colors. They are slouchy, but still ultra warm. I’ve also knit up some hats for the MEN. Shocker, I know. I became quite smitten with stranded knitting, though! I had to jot down a few designs for the boys. I’ve come up with a few different colorwork designs and am on the fence on whether I’ll be writing up patterns. I love sharing with my fellow knitters, but it takes quite a bit of time and effort to turn my notes into real instructions. We’ll see! Do you like my hat rack? A yarn wrapped branch pinned onto my wall. The branch had just the right curvature to make a lovely rack for the hats.  Photo taken with my Lensbaby Last week, I learned color work knitting and I got a smidge obsessed. I started drafting new designs immediately and knit up test hats. There were a lot of lonely late nights, last week. The husband was preparing for his business trip, so after the boys went down it was just me, my yarn, and Season 1 of Angel. Learning to knit English style has made these super quick to whip up, so a word to the wise: LEARN BOTH METHODS OF KNITTING! And if you’re already knitting English style, learn Continental and you’re half way to learning crochet. :)
