FROSTY the Snowman...and kiddos too!
I was probably the only mom in Hamburg who was wishing her kids would have a snow day last week! I took out a stack of videos from the library, bought bacon (to go with our massive pajamas & pancakes breakfast) and lined up all my unfinished knitting projects. My children actually ended up with new hats after the two days of solitary confinement (and 12 solid hours of Bugs Bunny)! We even managed to make a snowman in the backyard. Hope all your winter knitting is coming along well too. If not, I have plenty of new project ideas in the shop right now that are sure to inspire you!
P.S. --Be sure to check out my BLOG on the website--I am starting my New Years Resolution early by trying to update it often--hope it's worth reading! Happy knitting everyone, and welcome winter!!!

Hot to TROT!
Soooo proud of meI participated in the Turkey Trot this Thanksgiving---and I ran the whole way---and no one was even chasing me! To celebrate, I knit myself a turkey hat (the Jive Turkey Hat, to be exact). Stop by and I will be glad to give you a copy of the pattern. Then you can be a turkey just like me!!

New Little Pumpkins!
Congratulations to new Grandma Marcia (Emmetts pre-school teacher). Her first grandbaby was born this summer and her second grandbaby was born on Halloween! I couldnt resist that opportunity to knit her a pair of pumpkin hats. If you have never made one of these, you should! The Ann Norling Fruit Hat pattern has been a best-seller in my shop since I opened. It is the ultimate fast and fun project. I bet I have made enough of these for a whole fruit salad by now!!

What is Erin knitting?
I love knitting silly stuff, and Halloween is my favorite holiday. I have managed to knit some part of Sophies costume every year, and this year was no exception. She wanted to be a fairy princess, so I knit her a crown! It was a free pattern from Interweave Knits, knit in garter stitch from side to side and embellished with sequinsfun and easy, and now part of Sophies dress-up stash! !

Calling all Instruments!
Since Erin wants all kinds of announcements about canning jars & baskets and such in the ewesletter... and I get innundated with them...and I do the updating. I thought I would add my own announcement on the homepage. So, If you're cleaning and happen apon any old and/or unwanted musical instruments, they'll all have a good home in my studio. And they'll get played too!
