Burp Cloths all Rolled Up |
This weekend I delivered some of my most recent projects. One item was some burp cloths and bibs for a friend who is throwing a shower for some friends. This is the second gift set that I've done with her. I'm super excited how they turned out. I forget where I saw it, but I saw someone else roll up there burp cloths and receiving blankets in a similar manor and I admit it, I stole the idea! The bib's are reversible made out of flannel or cotton. I did not purchase the fabric on this project, I got the lovely pleasure of just making bibs and burp cloths it was definitely a different experience. I'm looking forward to our next project together.

Burp Cloths Surrounded by Bibs |
Another project I finished up and delivered this weekend was my newest creation of some beautiful hand knit fingerless gloves. These gloves are for a friend's sister's Christmas present, so I'm excited to hear how she likes them.
This is the second pair that I finished. And it took me less than a month! I have two more pairs that I want to create, but those will have to wait until I am finished with my current backlog of hand knit orders. This is such a fun pattern to knit, that I'm sure I will be making more as soon as I can. I just love the vibrant blue color of them.

Just the gloves |
Perhaps the next time that I knit some gloves I will switch up the pattern. I have a few ideas in my head for something different, I just need to plan it out and do some more research. My idea is for a different twist on the cable stitch, but I haven't done too many patterns with cable stitches yet so I want to get a few more ideas first. I suppose I should run off to my knitting reference books now!
While I am off researching, what are you best reference materials for your craft? Share some love to help educate the rest of us.

Close up of the details |
The only reference "material" I use on a regular basis is Etsy. I like the forums, my teams, and even checking out other successful shops to see what they're doing.
ReplyDeletePaige, I hadn't thought of using good ol' Etsy for research. Are you able to find information on new jewelry techniques there?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea, I'll be checking it out.
