On the needles: Pair of mittens for a 2 year old
That's right, folks, the Etsy shop is officially open for business! Starting this evening, I have listed items in the shop!
The first is for the stripy legwarmers that I posted a teaser of last week. The second is for the black ear flap toque. There will be more postings as I go along, but right now I'll start with that. They're both listed in the sidebar, which I think is a really cool little application. It'll update with my new items each time I post! So if you aren't watching the shop, you can find them in that sidebar.
However, the direct link to my Etsy shop is: http://www.etsy.com/shop/NekozukiYarns
Other than that, I've been working on more mittens, still. And then this weekend it'll be a hat and booties for a coworker's sister's little one.
Although, I have updated all of my logos to look the same. They are designed, drawn, and coloured by my amazing friend. You can find her on Deviantart: http://starlitdragon.deviantart.com/ So now I'm consistent throughout the sites that I'm known as Nekozuki Yarns!
My boyfriend and I have gotten more or less settled in, though I still need to sort out the craft room. (I have space to have a kind of a craft room!) Which means, in theory, that I should be able to find the yarn and notions that I need, faster! And they will be stronger! And better! (Well, at least I should be able to find them faster.)
Anyway, I'm going to keep busy and out of trouble, and continue the knitting!

In Transit
On the Needles: 2/2 legwarmers!
So, my boyfriend and I are in transit. We're mostly moved out of one place and into the other; thankfully, we're at his parents place, so we didn't have to move completely out in one fell swoop. But the apartment's really nice, so I'm excited to get set up there! It will mean more transit time for work for August, but that's OK.
Besides that, not much knitting has happened, because I've been busy with that, and absolutely exhausted. There's been a lot of weather changes lately (yay for Alberta thunderstorms!) and with that, being sore from moving, and being in a different bed right now, I haven't gotten much sleep. But at least the knitting helps keep the stress at bay.
Either way, I will soon have these legwarmers finished, and then pictures will go up! My friend is almost finished the shop banner, too, which is really exciting. Just a couple more tweaks and it'll be set!
I'll keep updating as I go along; we should have internet as soon as we actually move in, which will be good.
Take care,
Katie

Apartment ahoy!
On the Needles: Corset-style Stripy Legwarmers
Yes, folks, you read the right; I'm making stripy legwarmers for the shop. Only problem is that I had to pick them out the other night. But the ywill soon be finished again! Then on with the hat. Like I said, I wanted a break from knitting the round, though, so this is what's being produced. Maybe if I want a longer break, I'll start that Bright Star Blanket I keep talking about.
Either way, there probaby won't be much knitting happening in the next weekish, because my boyfriend and I found an apartment! (How exciting!) It's massive, and has a huge storage space upstairs beside the bedrooms, and since there's so much storage space everywhere else, I get to take over that part for yarn~! Maybe; I might still put it in the second bedroom with the bookcases. We'll have to see how everything sets up downstairs and upstairs (down is the kitchen and living room; up is the bedrooms and washroom). It's a nice set up, and though it'll be a bit rushed here to get everything organized, I know we can do it!
Mittens will be delivered to the appropriate people this weekend; I think it's a good thing to have, since the weather's still been really nasty.
And I have pictures of the mittens, so I'll post them once I get them downloaded from my camera!
Hope all is well in your world, and I'll update again soon!

The Mitten Knittin' is Done! (For Now)
On the needles: Corset style legwarmers
That's right, folks! You heard it right here. I've finished the mittens! And they're even washed. And even more amazingly, I finished them almost a whole week before they're needed! This is truly a great accomplishment (especially considering that I finished my boyfriend's Christmas blanket the night before I left. haha)!
Now, I do have one more order (the bearded balaclava), but I'm going to take at least a couple days off of knitting in the round and do some quick, flat, and fun legwarmers for Etsy (hey, I've got to start getting stock together now). Then I'll knit the balaclava. This should all be done within the next 10-14 days, at latest. And then it'll be some coffee cozies.
And then I plan to learn intarsia and also start the Berroco Bright Star...At some point.
The intarsia is all for my scheme of entering the creative contest at the Calgary Stampede next year. Best of all, it's the centennial next year! I got a chance to check it out this year, and there weren't too many entries, which is actually a shame. There were lots under the art category, and quite a few under the cake category, including an awesome Harry Potter one!
This weekend was really good, and really rejuvenating; I got to see the final Harry Potter, which I thought was amazing. Kudos to the team that has put together this amazing decade of films! From cast to crew, this was a task of epic proportions, and I think that they did an exceptional job.
And then I got offered a ticket to the Calgary Stampede Rangleand Derby (the Chuckwagon show), so there was no way that I could turn that down. So I got to spend the day at the grounds, went to the rodeo, checked out the art exhibits, and then got to watch the night of the semi-finals! It was awesome, especially since I hadn't been planning on going to the grounds.
Although it would have been good to have my boy with me. Hopefully next year!
Now, I'm going to go scheme out these legwarmers and start thinking about my entries for next year!

Long Weekend Ahead = Lots of Knitting
On the Needles: 10/16 Mittens (I need to pick it up)
So, it's Canada Day this weekend! And the company I'm working with has an extra day off on Monday, so that means that I have lots of spare time to knit and relax a bit. I'm heading home, and I'm going to get my boyfriend to drive, so I should get at least one mitten finished in that time. I need to get numbers 10-12 finished by this weekend, and then I'll only have two more pairs to go!
After that, I'm going to start putting together some items for the shop. For all my readers, what are you all interested in seeing me produce? So far, I'm planning to make corseted legwarmers, baby blankets, coffee cup cozies (both corseted and uncorseted), fingerless mitts, mittens, scarves, and baby booties (and potentially more bearded balaclavas)! I am open to suggestions and commissions (once I'm finished these mitts)!

Have fun and for everyone on the roads: drive safe!

P.S. I will soon post pictures of these elusive mittens. Promise.

I went yarn shopping last night and got some gorgeous Paton's Silk Bamboo yarn in Plum. I'm going to try knitting bell ruffled mittens with it. I can't wait to see how the colour looks full out, because it looks gorgeous as it is now:
It's not as dark in person, though.
And, with it also being Independence Day on Monday, it's a long weekend for most of North America. I'm planning on going home and visiting my cat and family and knitting. What's everyone else planning?
Have fun and for everyone on the roads: drive safe!
