Beach Blues


Please join us for Knit Night (Nov. 26) Monday from 5-7pm at the Coffee Mill. Enjoy snacks, yarn give aways, & a coupon for your next knitting project!



So.....I went to the beach for Thanksgiving with my family and knitted these adorable felted elf shoes for my two year old nephew. (They knit up with one skein of lopi and some scrap yarn for the cuff). Well.....in the vein of all two year olds....he WON'T wear them!! All that knitting for nothing!:)

Baby Kimono


Here is a UVA colored baby kimono I just finished for some friends who are having a baby. I am going to add an orange ribbon for the tie and try not to write something in the card about them getting beat by Virginia Tech yesterday!

Little Elf


Here is my cute two year old nephew that won't wear my elf shoes!!! Doesn't he look like a little elf? :)

See you Monday for Knit Night!


Hope to see you at knit night at the Coffee Mill on Monday night (Oct. 29th) from 5 to 7pm. Also, the Radford downtown Trick or Treat Trail is Wednesday for all you trick or treaters!
I love this felted bag because it reminds me of fall and filling up a cute bag with goodies from the farmer's market! I also love her red boots, which seem so appropriate with all the rain we've been having!

Felting Frenzy!


This bag was supposed to be a felted carpet bag. It turned out HUGE! The wood you see sticking out of the top is a wooden structure I had to build to block the bag and give it shape! I sewed the flowers on with scraps of wool yarn. Hopefully you will see the finished product soon!


Hope to see you at Knit Night at the Coffee Mill, Monday August 27th 5-7pm. Stick around for live music starting at 7!
