markers thanks again to everyone for checking out my shop and giving me their support i so appreciate it posted by rae lynne at 8 35 am 2 comments labels chase art etsy gift giveaway knitting thursday october 24 2013 hitting 100 giveaway hi friends it s me rae lynne i ve been gone a long while again i won t pretend that i m going to get back into regularly blogging but for occasions like this i m glad i have an outlet to share with you if you re here reading this post it s likely it s not because you regularly check to see for new posts if that is why you re here you re awesome and i appreciate you checking in rather it s likely you re here for the giveaway and i ll get to that in a minute first a little background some of you know that i have an etsy shop it started with me selling some needle cases i loved making them but just didn t have the time to keep making them especially with two kids i eventually switched to stitch markers sheepie ones to be specific sheep stitch markers set of 5 clear sheep stitch markers set of 5 assorted colors these have gone over really well knitters really seem to enjoy these fibery friends while preparing for a current swap on the itty bitty knits forums i was inspired to try the sharpied mug thing you see all over pinterest i did a mug and a notions dish i m purposely not sharing pictures since my swap partner hasn t received her package yet i loved how these turned out the hubby took a look at them and told me i should sell them in my shop i love his enthusiasm and support but also know he s a bit bias i asked a few friends and they concurred thanks ladies the question then became what a better method would be for decorating these mugs and dishes as i ve come to find out permanent marker doesn t always stay permanent especially glazed ceramic i worried that i d go to the trouble of decorating these things sell them and then have everything get washed away a short time later not good for business i eventually settled on non toxic enamel paint this is much better white sheep coffee mug ceramic black cup pink sheep notions trinkets dish all this to say there are new items in my etsy shop black swirls design 2 stitch markers turquoise cherry blossom clay stitch markers i shared the news on instagram and ravelry and had a great response which is really why you all are here now because of how well these new items have done and the increased traffic to my shop i have hit and passed 100 sales woohoo so to celebrate i m hosting a giveaway i ll be giving away 2 sets of stitch markers one set

shop convo me and we ll work something out posted by rae lynne at 9 40 am 25 comments labels chase art etsy gift giveaway knitting thursday april 11 2013 chevron chapeau it s been ages again since i last posted anything here if you re here thanks for being so awesome and checking in now and again i ll admit that i haven t knit much lately the mojo hasn t been there and if i picked up my needles more than twice in one week that was a lot but it seems to be slowly coming back i sort of kick started it last week when i had the pleasure of test knitting a hat for a friend suzanne knittingknirvana of the knitting knirvana video podcast just released a new hat pattern chevron chapeau when she asked for volunteers i jumped on the bandwagon i told suzanne i d be happy to knit any of the smaller sizes knowing i d be more likely to finish that size in a timely manner for her i was selected to knit the child size and i was able to start and finish it in just a few days my intention was to knit a hat for lovebug i hadn t knit her anything new in awhile and a child size hat meant it was something she could grow in to my kids have sorta big heads they don t look overly big but both my kids are at the top of the growth charts which translates into needing bigger clothes and accessories than you might originally believe since it s spring and we should be having sunnier weather i wanted lovebug s hat to reflect that i normally go for darker richer shades but this time i opted for white and yellow i used cascade 220 superwash in winter white 33 5g and spud and chloe sweater in pollen 23 5g in worsted weight small hats knit up quick you can easily knit this pattern with only a small amount of yarn no matter the size hat you re knitting up i really wanted to take photos outside of lovebug playing in the yard or at the park or on a walk or something with her new hat but the weather just isn t cooperating we ve had dreary rainy cloudy days and while that s great for our state it s not so great for getting that perfect shot outdoors so we made do in the entryway with the door open lovebug s hat is big on her but like i said i figured it d work because she has a big head i think she looks pretty darn cute the pattern and the colors really suit springtime but i had to put the hat on squishy and snap some photos so that you could see how nicely it fit a 4 yr old s head the hat is comfortably snug and easily covers his ears i really like the way the top of the hat comes together and is one of my favorite parts squishy loved the hat so much he tried to tell me this was his hat i had to confiscate it from him after the photoshoot i promised to make him his own after he picks out his colors suzanne has designed a wonderfully versatile fun and easy pattern that could easily become your next go to pattern for hats definitely check out the pattern page here and i apologize up front that this is so late in coming but if you buy one soon you can even take advantage of a coupon code normally the hat will sell for 4 but if you enter coupon code thankyou you ll get 1 off i think that s pretty great the coupon code is valid thru april 13 2013 a big thank you to suzanne for letting me test her pattern and share with all of you posted by rae lynne at 11 32 am 2 comments labels finished objects knitting tuesday february 5 2013 fo parade are you

comments labels finished objects gift knitting susan b anderson swap wednesday january 9 2013 a new year a new start i ve been saying over and over and over again that i ll be better at blogging i always mean it when i say it but i ll also admit that other things just become more important life is busy with two littles in the house and when i do have a free moment it s usually spent with some sort of craft in my hands instead of the computer that is when i don t fall asleep putting lovebug down for her nap or for bed while there are a ton of things that i ve done since my last blog i just don t think i m going to catch up telling you about them all so instead my plan is to do a little showcase of all the finished knits from my last post i ll tell you what it is and where it s going or gone and some of the little details but i ll also make sure to link to my ravelry project pages so if you re really curious you can go and get the details there you don t have to be a member of ravelry to see my project pages as long as i share the link with you then i can start fresh from here on out and not feel like i m always behind trying to catch up instead then i can just fill you in as things happen and to those of you who come and check now and again to see if i ve written thanks for returning posted by rae lynne at 2 22 pm 1 comments labels blog knitting thursday november 8 2012 click for babies this post is going to be short and sweet as i don t have a lot of time to write at the moment for any of you who watch katie jetgirl1313 from knittin on the fly you know that she collects hats for the charity click for babies the idea is to knit purple hats and donate them so they can be distributed in hospitals for all the new babies that arrive the charity and hats are meant to bring awareness to the period of purple crying essentially this all relates to infant crying and the risks shaken baby syndrome babies born in the month of november each receive a purple hat click for babies is specific to certain states but i know that when my daughter was born in november in iowa even though we aren t a click for babies state she received a purple crocheted hat along with a bunch of information about the period of purple crying so katie hosted click for babies and received an amazing number of hats that she donated in maine last year i didn t get the chance to knit a hat but this year i did i used the otis baby hat pattern which has 3 cables evenly distributed around the hat which come together at the top in a really neat way the hats had to be at least 50 purple which wasn t a problem for me since i had a couple different options to choose from i d won a giveaway awhile back and received some universal yarn bella dk in a light lavender purple so that s what i used the hat turned out very soft and sweet i booked it to the post office i finished the hat just days before the deadline and rushed it out to maine along with some sheepy stitch markers for the
