Quick Knit Holiday Gift Idea

Need a quick knit for a holiday gift?  Try the "Welted Fingerless Gloves"  from Churchmouse.  I love these patterns!  They are so well written and the photos by Jared Flood are amazing.  I cast on the first of the pair last night and knit one while watching a movie, and just finished the second one tonight.   The photo shows the gloves knit in Manos Silk, which I've used to make two pairs and love them, but any DK weight yarn will do.  This pattern is a great stash buster or a perfect special yarn project.

Take a break from Sunday Football and the holiday rush and join me anytime time this Sunday, December 5th from Noon - 4 pm to knit this adorable family of snowmen. This is a very quick knit and would make a great gift too!

The count down to Christmas officially begins. Be the first customer at Stash and pick the prize from the advent calender. You may get 10-15% off your purchase, a free book/pattern, a little trinket or more!

This foot stool was salvaged by the very talented Nancy M.  Her choice of fabrics are the perfect match.  Nancy used Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow fabric.  Notice how she used appliqué to make the stool truly unique.  Do you like this foot stool?  Find more amazing salvaged items at Nancy's shop at The Barn right here in Downtown Castle Rock.  I'm sure you will recognize many fabrics she found at Stash.

A big THANKS! to Sandy for making these towels.  I love the little quotes.  Everytime I use them they make me smile :)  So, does it count as aerobic exercise if I knit fast enough?  I would like to believe it's true!
