Cream/Brown Net Scarf

This is another variation of the Net Scarf. I used a cream wool that has flecks of brown and black in it for the thick stripes, and a chocolate brown crochet thread for the netting. It is warm and cozy and extremely natural looking.

Gold Mohair/Metallic Scarf

This scarf is knit with a mohair/metallic acrylic blend yarn. It has a color variegation ranging from to chocolate brown with shades of orange and rust. I knit it using a climbing rib technique, which gives it a great texture. It is warm, but also light.

Blue Mohair Metallic Scarf

This scarf is knit with a mohair/metallic acrylic blend yarn. It has a color variegation ranging from a very pale blue to black. I knit it in a lace stitch, which doesn't translate well in photos, but looks fantastic when held up against the light.

Photos!

I have finally had time to upload my photos of my most recent projects.  Check out the next three posts to see the pics!

Changes

I am very excited to announce that www.eterknittydesigns.com is about to get a new look. My wonderful friend Gryph has been helping me redesign the site. He has done an excellent job and I am so thankful for all of his help and great advice. There are just a few more tweaks to make and then the new site will go live.

I will also be taking more photos over the next couple of weeks. Keep an eye out for the new designs. I hope you love them as much as I do.

Coming Soon!

I am very happy to announce that not only will I be posting photos of my projects to the site within the next week or so, but that my very talented photographer friend, Anna White, has consented to take the photos for me. She is an incredible photographer, and I am honored that she has agreed to help me out.

Keep an eye out for the photos!!

Full Day of Knitting

I woke up this morning at 10:00 am and began my new weekend morning routine; stumble out of bed, put on a pot of coffee, find something entertaining on TV and begin knitting. Today was exceptionally productive. I finished a scarf and hat set for an 18 month old (disgustingly cute!), and then made a hat for her father. I also perused my favorite yarn store in Seattle with a good friend of mine who is just getting into knitting.

This evening, while working on the above mentioned projects and teaching my friend some techniques, something happened that totally made my day. My friend's mom stopped by for a visit and saw one of my designs. She absolutely loved it and spent the next half hour gushing over it. It was so nice to receive such genuinely enthusiastic praise for one of my creations.

I am getting so excited about launching Eterknitty Designs. I have gotten so much support from my friends and family, and from my customers. Looking over my project log today, I realized that I have been asked to make 16 projects since 10/24/09. It is so heartwarming that people want to own my creations.

I am currently working on creating my logo, which I hope to unveil soon. I will also be posting some photos of my work on the site over the next couple of weeks. Before I can do that though, I need to get some volunteers to model for me. I would love some photos of everyday people wearing my designs so that I can include them on the site. If you are interested, please email me.

I think it is time to give the hands a break for a while. Off to bed with me.

Warmest wishes,
