Stitches West

This is the latest baby blanket in my Etsy Shop!  I love classic black and white!  The chevron stitch is also classic and the tassels add something extra!

I'm getting ready to travel to Santa Clara, California for the Stitches West event this week!  Can't wait, however, flying is NOT one of my favorite things to do!  As I have gotten older, I'm talkin' only early 50's here, I get motion sick, have claustrophobia and sometimes suffer from anxiety attacks!  I will be suffering from them all on the plane ride as it is the size of a Greek elevator!  ARG!  For those of you who don't know about Greek elevators....they are only 4' x 4'!  I kid you not!  I got stuck in one in Greece a few years ago that seemed like an hour, but it was only 10 minutes!  When we came back to the US, I was never so glad to see the words OTIS on the next elevator I encountered!

I digress...Stitches West with Craftsy will be great fun!  And all the YARN!  Oh, my poor pocketbook!  I post pics and all the dish when I get back next week!

Craftsy Pattern Store Now Open

If you are a crafter of any kind, check out Craftsy.coms Pattern Store here.  They have EVERYTHING there.  Knitting, crocheting, sewing, baking, quilts, jewelry, gardening and more!  Classes and tutorial workshops galore (rhyming unintentional :D) !

This is one of my patterns in the new pattern store, Chevron Ripple Baby Blanket!  You can find it here, as well as all my other patterns.    I still have my Etsy shop if you would like to stop by!  My patterns on Craftsy are less expensive than my Etsy store, but still the same pattern!

If you are a fan of Susan B Anderson, Itty Bitty Hats, Itty Bitty Toys, Spud & Cloe On the Farm, she is teaching two classes on Craftsy!

Lots to see and do there!  Please stop by and support indie designers!

Best,

Zoe's Zebra Hat

I can't resist a little animal hat!  I am working on patterns for my Little Animal Hats Collection, here is the first...a little Zebra Hat with a feather topper you can find here!  A little Calico Cat is next!   I know it seems a bit late in the season, but I have a nice following in Australia and the beautiful places around her!  Their winter is coming up as we, here in the States, head into spring!

Simple striped hat with a rolled brim and slightly oversized ears!  It would be a great photo prop!  As a matter of fact, I'm giving it to a newborn who will soon start her journey in front of a camera!

I would love to know what you are working on if you do any kind of craft!  From cooking, to sewing to knitting and beyond!

It's hump day and 50 degrees here in Nebraska!  Unheard of in this part of the country!  We are lovin' it!
