Knit-alicious!

It's official I am a knit-aholic. I have been having so much fun with my new medium.I have even learned to cable knit:) Scarf lette's are wonderful, they can have so much flavor, and yet they don't take a year to finish. This is the one with the cable, is made with a wool blend, and has a crocheted ruffle, and a gorgeous water felted flower


The next one is my first scarflette, the one from an earlier post. It has a leather flower accent.



And introducing...the Cowl Hood Scarf!
This one is soo versitile, it can be pulled down over the tops of the shoulders, and makes a gorgeous cowl.

My crafty sista, Faatma recently taught me how to knit. Once upon a time, long long ago, I taught her to crochet, and she returned the favor. I was a crochet snob, and didn't want to learn. I am fast and furious with a crochet needle, so much so that I actually injured my wrist. I was desperate for some fiber craft, and thought that knitting wouldn't impact my wrist in the same way that crochet does.

But surprise- surprise, I really dig it. If the yarn is chunky and the needles are fat, I can move a project along at enjoyable pace. So, lo and behold...

The Scarflette, with a leather flower accent.

I just put in my etsy shop...

Sweet Life Craft Show

warm

let me just preface, I do spend a good amount of time online, but some folks live here. And while I live in the extra sunny city of Denver, I WILL be out of doors whenever the weather permits...which is most days.

As the seasons change and cold weather visits us daily there are a number of events and thangs all over my city and all over the wilderness of North America geared at keeping folks warm over the cold months. Honestly y'all we are spoiled in North America. So lets act like we care...no lets just CARE about our human family and support the food, clothes and shelter drives as best we can.

At my crib we go thru our closets seasonally and purge and donate to friends, family and to clothes drives... sometimes Lalania and I even donate our creations. This year we found this @ http://clutterpunk.blogspot.com/

"There are a bunch of refugee craftswomen living and working in camps along the Thailand/Burmese border. They make and sell lovely stuff to earn a wage and support their families, and the great news is it's fair trade. But when December/January rolls around, they get cold, which can cause illness and other disruptions to their work, and therefore their income. Claire @ Warm Women wants to do something about it, and she wants people like you and me to help out by making a scarf to send along to our chilly Karen refugee friends."

....SO... do it with us! we'll post pics of the scarves we make and send and you should too. Take pics of your creations and email them to us at craftmobb@gmail.com.

Peace to all the human families.
