baby asher's blankie

2011-01-01T14:24:00.000-08:00

a friend of mine had her baby a few months back. i made this gift for her son. i finally got to meet him last wednesday and gave him his gift.

Lion's Brand Baby First Yarn.

I love this yarn its so stretchy & cozy.

a new way to tie a scarf...

2010-12-15T12:20:00.000-08:00

Today I learned a new way to tie my scarf thanks to Lisa Leonard. You can follow her directions here. But here you have it...

The Pretzel Knot

thank you Lisa...I love having a new way to wear my scarves.

gift for the teacher...

2010-12-14T21:20:00.000-08:00

here is the scarf I knitted for my daughter's teacher.

color: Montana Sky

I totally love this color. I may have to make one for myself to match my blue suede shoes. yes...I have a pair of blue suede shoes.

Projects for myself...

2010-12-11T20:55:00.000-08:00

Since I've been knitting, I haven't even knitted a project for myself since I was like 10 yrs old. So the past two weeks I made myself three scarves. All of these are made with the Homespun yarn. The first one is from the Holiday Homespun Collection of colors. I really love this yarn for scarves. They are super soft & cozy.

color: Holly

I finished this one last night while sitting in the ER lobby.

You can read about my adventures here.

color: Tudor

I finished this one last Thursday.

I love how the colors cascade into each other.

This scarf is a tad shorter than the one above.

color: Edwardian

I finished this one two weeks ago.

Again this one is a short one.

The last two scarves were made with left over yarn from a previous projects that I did last year. That is why they are a tad shorter than the red one.

My next project is to knit a scarf for my daughter's teacher and I gotta finish that by this Thursday. If I do, I may knit another for the teacher aide in her class. Praying that I can get it all done before the kids go on winter break.

I am planing on knitting my guys beanies for Christmas and a scarf for my daughter to match her new coat.

After all that, I will start posting scarves in my Etsy store starting in January 2011.

WOW! I'm lagging...

2010-09-16T16:50:00.000-07:00

Well it has been quite awhile since I knitted last. Life & family has me totally busy right now.

My etsy shop is still up. So if you need a custom listing let me know.

I've been spending a lot of time on my family blog http://teampipkin.blogspot.com

God Bless!

Pink Baby Blanket...

2010-05-04T19:22:00.000-07:00

Sorry its been so long since I've posted a project that I finished. But here is a baby blanket that I made for my friend Kerri who is having a baby girl. This yarn is from Lion's Brand is Baby's First yarn. To custom make this blanket for you that total would be $40. But if you chose a different brand of yarn then the price will be different. You can convo me through etsy.

Blessings

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2010-01-02T09:39:00.000-08:00

...i hope you all had a wonderful holiday season celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ! right now i'm working on a custom order for my good friend, debbie. i will be done with this in the middle of the month. it is for 2 scarves in the color of her daughter's school colors, 1 scarf in white and a beanie in the school color.

New Year's Resolution...

2009-12-26T09:25:00.001-08:00

as a family we have decided to be more charitable this coming year. we have been blessed with what we need.
fist of all...i have decided to turn this home-based business into a Christian based store. What that means...for every beanie or scarf sold or made; one will be given to charity. i'm looking into a few local charities.
second...there is a blog button on this website "WORLD VISION" please click on it and find more info for yourself. i first heard of this charitable organization while i was at the Women of Faith conference. i didn't have the money at the time to sponsor a child but i came home to check out the website. they have a "gift catalog" section and in that section there are different areas of need like clean water, giving chickens & ducks, and they even have a section for children in the US.
so please join my family this year as we plan to help children ALL over the WORLD in need.
This is our "Compassion Plan for 2010"
May God Bless You!

grammie's beanie hat...

2009-05-11T14:17:00.000-07:00

The Mother's Day afghans are basically taking me forever to finish. working with four skeins of yarn they tangle pretty quickly. even putting each skein in its own bag doesn't seem to work. so needless to say my mom and gramma did not get their afghans but it doesn't mean that i'm not going to finish them. i will finish my moms first. instead, i made them beanies to match the scarves i made them for their birthdays.

The Zebra Collection Is Here!!!

2009-04-27T21:39:00.000-07:00

i hope you enjoy them. They have been listed at my shop http://knittedgiftsbynicole.etsy.com
