Welcome to April!

WiP: Wedding Socks; Sewing - wedge and box bags

This photos is from yesterday, but the snow really hasn't gone away, but it is sunny now! And we've finally gone from -10 to -3!! (Practically tropical!)

I didn't get much work done this weekend, because it was my bachelorette and my future niece's birthday...And because I stayed up WAY too late reading on all three nights! haha

I did, however, get a chance to work on some wedge bags, which are a new product I will be offering in the shop as soon as I'm able to get some pictures! (I'm using the cat one with the green zipper on the left...It's perfect for Dallas's wedding socks right now!)

I have also gotten a ton of reading done! The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman is the one I stayed up reading on Friday night.

 

The ones I'm working on right now are Marianna Meyer's Lunar Chronicles, which I'm loving! Very heavy Sailor Moon accents, but that's fine by me.

Anyway. The next few evenings are going to be spent with Dallas, and then I'll for sure get products up by April 9!!

Have a lovely day!

Pretty Picks: Clothes with Cats!

That's right. I'm posting stuff for clothes with cats on them. Enjoy~! (Unfortunately, not everything is going to have pictures. Please follow the links!)

Have a lovely day, my dears~!

Friday Queue Enhancement

Hello, my lovelies!

I can't believe that this is the second of the Queue Enhancement posts! The weeks sure do fly by quick!!

So, ready to have more patterns that make you squeal? Excellent!

By the way, if you aren't on Ravelry, got on over and sign up. Then you can add all of these patterns to your queue so that you have an idea of what you'll want to knit later (if you don't already). Also, it's a great community of knitters, crocheters, and spinners.

So, without further ado, here we go~!

Greta, The Captivating Cat by Rebecca Danger

So, one of the best things I've heard recently was suggestion by Diane of Knitabulls to actually knit this cat out of handspun. Which is exactly what I'm going to do. I have some gorgeous yarn from Dragonfly Dyewerx out of Drumheller that will be perfect. Once I find the time!

Wingspan (Picture via mirthful) by  maylin Tri'Coeterie Designs

This one has been around for awhile, but I still love it. I definitely want to knit it in something soft as a casual shawl. Someday.

White Kitten (picture via Lattice Lace) by  Joanna Osborne and Sally Muir

I love the book that these patterns came in; this is just one of my favourites because it's so fuzzy! I have this on my list to knit after dinosaurs.

Crochet Neko (Cat) Coin Purse by Sandy Chan

Admittedly, I'm not a big crocheter. But this pattern is sooooo adorable!

Kathleen's Kittens (picture via dlauro) by MMario

A shawl, with a cat motif in the edge!? What more could you ask for??

Gypsy Petticoat by Tiny Owl Knits

How can you tell that I love most of what Tiny Owl Knits produces? I can't wait to knit this for myself...Or perhaps for a special little girl if I have one later on in life. 

Katie's Mittens by Kristin Lamm

And finally, a pair of mittens. That are awesome. And complicated. But still on my list.

Hope these patterns help inspire you!! They are all gorgeous, and I can't wait to knit each of them. 

Take care, and I'll blog at you all again soon! :D
