project monday : i’m making scarves.

Promon1019

Last week while in Sacramento I knitted up a storm. And it's strange that the only yarns I ever feel like buying are neutrals…actually, not that strange as I've realized the majority of my closet is browns and grays.

So addicting. So perfect for the winter weather that has taken over Maryland.

I got back into town on Saturday night and am happily settling back into my apartment and routine. Feels so good (and chilly) to be home. Stay tuned this week for my wedding bouquet mock up, a giveaway or two, fall favorites, and a shop update (whimsy kits & letterpress misprint packages). 

Happy to be back. I've missed this coast.

    Aw, those look great! I haven’t knit anything in almost a year, but this makes me want to pick it back up again. Plus it’s flipping cold up here.

    I don’t know for sure.. I left them in California…really big though. Maybe the biggest at the shop.

    Great scarves! I get addicted every fall and make a couple with size 15 needles, especially with really fluffy yarn, so warm and cozy!

    I’m a pretty lame knitter and didn’t really know that there were different types of stitches. I just do what my Grandma taught…

    I love both scarves, but the first one made me Ohhh and Ahhh! I learned to knit from my grandmother when I was really young and I am just taking an interest in it again lately. Was the first one a certain type of stitch?

    I’m pretty stoked about letterpress misprints! I used your “favorites” kit this weekend! I will have to take some pictures and share!

    Cute scarves! I particularly love the first one. I feel ya on the wardrobe…. mine’s been taken over by blues and browns. Kinda odd for me, actually. ha
