Busy Knitting Bee.

Being a mom is ROUGH.  For real, I just always assumed I would LOVE being with my kid all the time, and that I wouldn't be able to get enough.  While I do love my child, I also hit my limits pretty quickly with her.  She knows just how to push my buttons and when to not stop talking.

BUT - this week she starts pre-school!  I am so excited for her to learn things that she refuses to learn from me, and I'm also excited to be able to step up my knitting game!  My goal this year is small, I'm hoping to be able to just catch the seasons as they shoot by and throw a few new things out there every month.  I also do have a monetary goal that I've been juuuuust short of each month of this year, but with E in pre-school I should be able to cater to clients more and put product out that they will enjoy! I'm also going to start working on creating a few patterns to sell on my Etsy Shop!

This week I am also going to be doing my very first knitting class!  I'm so excited!  One of my friends helped me organize it and has collected a group of friends to take part!  We are going to go over casting on, the knit and purl stitches, and binding off.  Pretty basic, but its a new thing for all of us!  Excited to help people learn and be excited to create their own items! If you are in the Olympia area and want to learn just a few basic things about knitting, contact me to get involved!!



Happy Monday everyone!

Its about time.

Its about that time for me to have a knitting / mom blog of my own.  Both are after all a BIG part of my life.  I knit every chance I have - some during Emelia's bath time, some during her lunch, during breaks at my job and after E goes to bed.  Some might call it obsessive knitting, or maybe a hobby. But its one of my part time jobs.  My favorite thing about knitting is that two needles and a piece of yarn can make the COOLEST things - chevron blankets, hats, scarves, stuffed animals...its kind of crazy!

Emelia is another job all her own.  We are in the process of adopting her, so I'm new to motherhood, 5 and a half months in to raising an almost 4 year old.

Anyway- here is a little of my world- knitting & motherhood.
