I just received an email with the good news, the “Spring Issue of Knitty”:http://www.knitty.com is online — which means free patterns for everyone!
I haven’t decided just yet, but I’d love to make the “T Twist Tee”:http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring06/PATTttwist.html in some nice cotton for summer. It’s got a “Tangy” difficulty rating, and looks like it would knit up smooth and quick. Sounds perfect to me!
Why a Knitting Purse?
Pretty easy, I knit everywhere — If I’ve got ten minutes to spare, I’m knitting. Basically, if I can, I will. My problem is that carrying my projects around with me is always such a pain, either I have to carry my knitting around in a separate bag or (and I hate doing this…) stuff it into my purse and risk losing a row or getting my yarn tangled with my headphones and zippers.
This is how I used to carry my knitting:
I can definitely see some room for improvement!
Hello everybody,
Doesn’t it look different around here? Welcome to part one of my new website, and the beginning of a fresh start for me. When I wrote about getting back-to-basics, this is what I was planning to do, chop down my website and my business and build it up again from scratch.
I love being crafty, it’s my favourite thing in the entire world, and I want to share that feeling instead of keeping it all bottled up. When Kevin (my main squeeze and partner) and I went back to the drawing board, the thing I wanted most was to be able to share all the crafty things I do, and show everyone else how to do them as well.
The first thing I’m going to do on the site, while the rest of it is being built, is document the process of making my next project, a purse made especially for knitters! This is something I’ve wanted for make forever, ever since I picked up needles, and I’ve got a tonne of ideas to work with.
The website’s going to be changing a lot over the next few weeks, as well, there’s a new shop on the way and I’ve got plenty of other crafty tricks up my sleeve. I feel so happy right now, I love my new website!
“The Spring Cleaning Sale”:http://karissacove.com/shop will be ending this Saturday, I’m just about out of stock (Yay!).
Now I’d rather mail out all the totes and iPod slippers at super great prices than pack them away, so starting right now until this Saturday April 8th @ Noon, all of the remaining sale items in my shop will be an additional 25-40% off! That there’s some big savings, folks!
Don’t make me store these purses in the back of my closet, they’ll be so sad!
