OT Not a Knitting project but a project :D

I have been working on this purse and wallet today for a girl @ the college here and thought I would post it anyways. I have been making purses, totes, diaper bags... for almost 2 years and love it. It is just a little more expensive than yarn :D. I wanted to start me a website and sell my purses and scarves but do not know where to start. I am not looking for get rich quick but just a little extra cash. (y'all know what I mean...) I will post some more of my yarn projects soon. I am in the process of making so many things and I think the baby sweater should be done soon it is little. I hope you like the purse. Another thing if you have any tips for me on how to start my own business. I would love to hear.

Checkerboard Scarf (rectangle purple loom)

Hello Everyone,
I know it has been a while since I have posted, I am working on some bigger projects and have ran out of yarn for one of them so I started this checkerboard scarf late Friday night and finished it Saturday morning. I got this pattern from http://www.beehappygifts.com/checkerboard.htm
I wanted to use the chenille yarn but it never went on sale and every other yarn I tried didn't look right so this one I didn't know if this yarn would have worked or not (it did!!!!) I used the same yarn I did on the pink and white stripped scarf I made a couple of weeks ago. I think I like working colors b/c it don't seem to take as long as just working on one color yarn. Well let me stop babbling so her is the yarn I used...pink - PALE ANTIQUE ROSE IS THE COLOR AND THE BRAND IS BERNAT SOFTEE CHUNKY.Combined with this rose color is YARN BEE INFATUATION IS BOUQUET. The white - NATURAL IS THE COLOR AND THE BRAND IS BERNAT SOFTEE CHUNKY. Combined with the natural is YARN BEE DREAM GIRL IS BECKY. I hope you enjoy.the scarf and please let me know what you think :D.

Here is another scarf I made it is a fashion scarf it is just about 7 pegs wide and is EYELASH yarn I think it is called Princess. I hope you enjoy :D
Make sure you go to the bee happy gift site and order you the checkerboard scarf pattern ;)

Checkerboard Scarf and Multi color tube scarf

Here it is!!!! I finally got the matching checkerboard scarf finished it is not the one pattern I wanted to make it out of, but my yarn was to thin for the other pattern. This one I just made it like a tube scarf. The other scarf is a regular tube scarf, I love working with the different colored eyelash yarn. While you are making your item it puts a cool little pattern on it. This one did a large checkerboard pattern with all the other colors. Here is the the yarn I used, for those that do not remember what I made the checkerboard hat out of here it is again. Yarn Bee, Airy yarn (pink and brown). The Multi color tube scarf is made out of Yarn Bee, Jewelsong (Butterflies). The Checkerboard scarf is made for a little girl but can be worn by an adult (I do not know the names of all the different types of scarves you can make), but this is one that you tuck the ends down in your coat. It is a very thick scarf so you would have to wrap it. I hope you enjoy.
If you have any questions just let me know and I will do my best to answer them.

Striped Scarf

I started this scarf yesterday afternoon and just finished it, I am still working on the checkerboard scarf for those who wanted to see that one, I will try to have it done with in a day or two. This scarf was made with 4 yarns, there are two main colors and two furry yarns. The pink - PALE ANTIQUE ROSE IS THE COLOR AND THE BRAND IS BERNAT SOFTEE CHUNKY.Combined with this rose color is YARN BEE INFATUATION IS BOUQUET. The white - NATURAL IS THE COLOR AND THE BRAND IS BERNAT SOFTEE CHUNKY. Combined with the natural is YARN BEE DREAM GIRL IS BECKY. It is fuzzy but not to fuzzy, it measures 84 inches long. I hope you enjoy.

Checkerboard Hat

Last night I was working on a hat I don't have a pattern for this hat, I just was seeing what was going to work. The colors of the hat are a little harder to see it is a brown and a pink (Yarnbee, Airy yarn). I don't know if you can see it in the pictures but there are little sparkle things inside the yarn . I made it on the red loom, if I had a little girl it would be perfect but I have a little boy :D, so one gift for someone down :D. The yarn made it very thick and soft, I am going to try to make a scarf to match. I love chocolate colors with pink, I think it looks girly. Hope you like the pictures. I will post on my other projects soon

A New Year...

It is new year now, and now we can start on Christmas gifts for next year :D. I just wanted to add a wish list of items I will be starting and have done with in the year. I want to make some more scarves (some for me and my family, then start on Christmas). Poncho for me, sweaters for my husband and son, baby items (something different for baby gifts), come up with my own patterns, learn more about the knifty knitter different stitches... really anything you can make I would like to try to make. I will post some pictures soon, I am working on another reversible scarf for me and will be starting a checkerboard scarf (trying to find yarn I like for it). I hope you all a Happy New Year and happy knitting...

Finished product

Here is the finished scarf :) I really liked this yarn. It was very easy to work with and it is very soft for the finished product. A lot of people have asked me where I found the pattern here is the link.

This pattern is well worth buying, it is a very simple project for beginners, I have only been using the knifty knitter for a little over a month. I really like this pattern, what is better than 1 scarf?? 2 scarves!!!!! I like to be able to turn it when ever I want to change the color and not having to worry about caring a bunch of scarves with me when I travel. Thanks for all the comments on my scarves, I really appreciate it.
