A Little Knitty

I'm beyond thrilled to announce this Spring I will be teaching knitting classes for Auburn (Washington) Parks & Rec!!!! It will be a 4 week course to teach the basics so you can feel comfortable with knitting!! More information will come later when the spring schedule is published!!!

Have you checked out craftsy.com ? It is currently my obsession. I'm taking a really wonderful knitting class and they have so many other cool classes, kits and supplies. What do you want to craft today??

"I wanna learn to knit" This is the comment I get the most when people hear I am a knitter. And it is my passion and mission to turn anyone who wants to be a knitter, into one! To achieve this, I am hosting local knit nights, dream of opening my own shop and plan to list resources and videos here to help anyone who needs help! I know it is overwhelming....especially just going to the yarn shop to get your supplies ("why would I need 5 needles with no ends?????") So I'm more than happy to answer ANY question you may have!!! Very soon I will have videos hosted here....it is in the works! How can I help you find your passion for knitting?

I have been trying to think of ways I can use my little business to give back to my community, my country, my world. This evening I did some brainstorming and decided I will be donating infant hats throughout the year to the local children's hospital and 10% of all sales will be donated to disaster relief. So often I only think about giving back during the holidays or when disaster hits...but I want to make a conscious effort to do this year round and get my kids involved too! I know it won't be an earth shattering total...but this is so important to me! Thank you for supporting my little business over the last 6 years and here's to the year 2015...The year we give back!!

I'm so lucky to work with amazing photographers!!! I open my inbox and see gorgeousness like this.... Little Miss A is rocking the 'Charlie' which is available in newborn and 3-12 months!! It's not currently in the shop, but you can contact me for a custom order! :)

I love that there are more and more stories (and hopefully scientific studies) showing how good knitting is for your health! Of course I love knitting and love the products that come from my knitting...but thinking that maybe I'm helping my health too is pretty darn cool!  Check this out...   http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/25/health/brain-crafting-benefits/
