Ribbed Cap - Part 2

:)  DH gave my BIL Mark his cap . . . and it was well received!  He put it on immediatly and before my DH could drive the 20 minutes home, Mark had called to tell me how much he liked it and how much he appreciated it!  Ordered KP Shine yarn to make another in cotton for him to wear in bed.  He commented that he would like something in cotton for when the weather is warmer and for bed.  A definite go do as soon as I get my yarn. 

In the same order, I bought a complete set of Zepher needles from KnitPicks.  I have the Nickel Options set and love them too.  I am using a set of Zepher tips I purchased at my LYS to try on my Slanting Gretel Tee and love, love, love them!  Order should arrive Feb 1 and I can't wait!

Knit On!

Baby Set

Baby Set Originally uploaded by karyn_settles I gifted this baby set to a friend at work who is expecting a baby in July. She loved it. I made a hat from Stitches from the Heart. An adorable set of booties that is from the Berroco website and the baby kimono from Mason Dixon Knitting. The shower was a surprise and with the help of a couple of other ladies in my office, we were able to set up a very nice little party.

My First KAL . . . That I Think I Might Finish

Circle Shrug Yoke Originally uploaded by karyn_settles I decided to join a KAL. I tried one before but I never seemed to be able to keep up and decided that the sweater, Lionbrand's Cable Luxe Tunic, must have been too much for me at the time. I am slowly finishing the Sweater though. This next one is going much better. I was able to join the Lionbrand Yarn, Textured Circle Shrug, Knit A Long and keep up. Stefanie Japel, one of my favorite designers is moderating / hosting and I am so excited. Her designs are elegant, yet very easy to wear and make. The design chosen for the KAL is her Textured Circle Shrug from the Book GlamKnits. Lionbrand has offered the pattern for free for a short time so you don't have to buy the book. Stefanie is blogging weekly at Lionbrand with lots of great tips and hints for making things go smoothly. It is like having the designer sitting next to you helping you with knitting the design. It's great! I'm looking forward to having

A return to the blog

It's been awhile since I've attempted to keep a blog going.  I have thought that I should get back to it for some time now.  When I started, I thought it would be a good way to journal my crafting  . . . and my sometimes crazy life.  I was busy with family and full time work in Aerospace, and it never came to be.  Since then I've left that world and I'm currently using my creative gifts in the Fabric Department and NeedleArts Department of a local craft store.  I enjoy helping people get what they need for their projects and provide help with questions.   I still very much enjoy crafting . . . sewing and knitting are my go to crafts. My knitting projects are in Ravelry .  .  .  I'm karynsettles there.  My sewing projects are likely going to end up here on the blog.  I'm currently focused on a couple of Knitting Projects. . . the Fullerton Cardigan from the Spring 2018 Issue of Knitscene magazine and the Tranquil Tank Top from Lionbrand Yarn's Website.
