Summer Scarves

Who says scarves are just for winter? Certainly not I!

I am beginning this series of luscious scares for Spring and Summer hand knit with a lightweight fiber and in fabulous colors!
Super soft, feminine and comfy, these scarves are perfect for the warmer months and more mild climates.

Tell me what you think! Do you wear scarves the whole year through or just in the Fall and Winter months?

Perfect Jewelry for the Office

                                                                              
These little bobs are great for your workday wardrobe. The color combinations are endless and they are priced right so you can have a pair to match every outfit from Monday through Friday, all month long!
The leverbacks make sure you don’t lose one so you’ll have no more missing mates.  
My neck tends to get cold so I wear a scarf pretty much all Fall and Winter.
A couple of features I like best about these are that they do not get caught or tangled in my scarves and my scarves and sweaters don’t push the earwires off my ears. I have slept in them many times because they are so comfortable I forget I have them on. I have a made myself several pair and I just love them.
I can do any color combination you like or I can create a solid color for you.
These cuff style bracelets are wonderful for the office because they do not interfere with your keyboarding or deskwork. They are very comfortable to wear, feeling like a luxurious fabric.

Welcome 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


The Holidays are over and soon the grandkids will be heading home leaving me some much needed time to make you some fresh new designs for 2012 before I head off to my new job. It is a part time gig so I will still have to time for my own passion, creating lovely beaded jewelry and fiber designs for you! It has been a delightful Holiday with the girls but it is time to get back to work.

I have some new slipper patterns in the works and some lovely designs from patterns that I purchased from Fiber Trends. For those of you who knit and crochet I highly recommend the patterns there. I have purchased 2 so far and they are very well written and easy to follow. For those of you who do not knit, I’ll happily do that part for you so stay tuned for styles, colors and prices.

I also have to complete a white version of the Poinsettia beadwoven bracelet seen below for Bead and Button magazine for next years Christmas edition. It has to be finished and in their office to be photographed before March 1, 2012.

I had a great season with Revolution in White River Junction for my first year with them. I’ll be working with them again this year as well as Fyberworks in Portland, Oregon and Tardif in Waterville, Maine.

Knitted Slipper Pattern for Real Men

Have you made felted slippers for men?!


This was an exciting new adventure for me. I searched and searched, knitted and crocheted and could not find men’s slipper that was really a man’s size. I purchased many patterns and they were too narrow, not big enough so I finally came to the conclusion that I had to make up my own. I also figured out how to make a slipper for someone whose foot I do not have to measure.

After a little trial and error I finally came up with one!

These can be worn with the cuff up or down and think of the ways it can be embellished! You could needle felt a design on it, attach appliques, embroider, bead embroider, use school or favorite sports team colors. You could put soles on the bottom or use the traction trick I am using.

They only take an evening to knit up (each) and they are made all in one piece so no sewing together once you are finished!

These are knit with one strand but for a really thick pair you could use 2 strands. I can get nearly 3 slippers out of a 476-yard skein of yarn so they won’t break the bank either!

These are still wet so I can’t do anything yet.

The pattern and all the information about how to size them will be available soon! I have to work out the women’s size first.

My Knit Slippers for Real Men pattern will be available soon at Divella Delights!
