noe street team beanie!

I finished the first beanie! It's black with pea-green accent. I think it's a pretty decent, non-offensive, basic beanie that anyone can wear.

So --- who's in?

Here we go again.....

I was working on a sweater that I wanted to wear to opening day of "Where the Wild Things Are". I was soo excited about it until I realized that my knitting and my purling are 2 completely different gauges!!!!!

So I frogged and I'm starting over. At least I will have a chance to go through my notes and make sure the pattern makes sense before I distribute it. Writing patterns is hard, but you do what you have to do to compile a book. Still need to think of a theme for the book. Let me know if you have any ideas!

Anyway - here's a picture of the beginnings of a second chance!

Here's the thing......

I'm looking to expand my hand into the indie craft world and I need your help! Spread the word!!!!!

I'm willing to knit a beanie for anyone that will be part of a street team of sorts and promote noe hand knits - you get to pick 2 colors. The catch is is - you have to wear the beanie everyday! HA HA - just kidding! You don't have to wear it everyday - that would be awesome though........

You just have to spread the word that hand knitted things are cool and it's important to support independent artists and their craft.

The kit will include flyers, cards, pins, stickers and what ever is travel worthy to help you. And of course - the beanie.

If you don't want to wear a beanie - give me suggestions on something I can knit that you can have on your person when you're out promoting!

So let me know if you want to take part!


Thanks

Back to the grind......

So summer's over..... and it's back to real life and knitting. I had a really good summer and it ended with a cruise to Catalina and Ensenada and a trip to Vermont - which, by the way, is gorgeous.

So time to pick up the needles and get to work on those fall and winter projects! I have a huge list and need to start ASAP!
