Knits are just cozy - there's no other way to describe yarn woven into perfection. Who doesn't love it?
My love for yarn + diy manifests itself in crocheted creations. It's a vicious cycle, I must admit.
You see...around this time of year I get the itch to pick up my crochet needles again. And every year I get a little more gutsy, trying my hand at something more difficult than the year previous {last year it was oversized cowls and coffee cup cozies, this year I'm thinking headbands and boot socks}.
But it doesn't stop there - once I conquer my challenge, I usually think..."hmm, this would make a fabulous Christmas gift," or the unavoidable {if you're me}, "I could sell these!" The latter thought launches me into a crocheting frenzy, every spare moment, leading up to Christmas, spent crocheting till my little fingers are numb and my eyes are crossed, and with the last stitch I swear off crocheting "forever." {aka - next year}
Needless to say - I'm feeling the itch again. Once I have a free moment, you can bet I'll be headed to my local yarn shop to swoon over my next knit project.
Until then, check out these handmade beauties...{any of these would make perfect Christmas gifts for those who like to shop early!}
While I just adore all of the above, I have to say #2 is one of my absolute favorites! {And she's offering a 50% discount on anything in her store if you like her on fb...click the #2 link to learn more.} Maybe I'll attempt a bow scarf this year as well - why not??
Are you loving knits this season??
