Ruben's Bumper

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!! My husband and I had our first Christmas together as a family, just us. It was absolutely lovely. :)

Since yesterday evening, I have already been back to working on the designs! Here is The very first design I did...the one that was put on hold, waiting for more yarn.

Ruben's Bumper

When I was designing this piece I was thinking, 'Circus'. It originally was going to be named the Balloon Jumper, resembling something that of clown pants, but it is not exactly a jumper. It's a mix between a soaker, jumper, and overall's. My Husband came up with the name Bumper, and it stuck. :)

What Inspires You?

This morning I was brainstorming more ideas for designs, and it got me thinking...what inspires a new design? Where does the inspiration come from? Well, there could be many answers to those questions! ;) I am going to try and keep my answer simple.

I really love the many different textures, colors, and shapes that can be found in nature, architectures, animals, and food. I also love a touch of classic and simplicity. For me, these things so often apply to my knitting, art, and photography.

What about you? Where do you draw inspiration from for your passions?

Please share! :D

Ella's Boots

My second knit design is finished! Here is Ella's Boots...

I wanted the boots to be warm and durable with some texture. I designed Ella's boots with a high cuff, which can be rolled down, giving it a different look/style. I used genuine leather for the soles, making the bottoms durable and skid-free.

I want to bring fun, vibrance, character and warmth to each design. So, I was thinking that a cute animal illustration paired with each garment would add a nice touch, making each design more unique and personal, especially for little ones. What do you think?!

This is putting together all 3 of my passions: photography, knitting, art, and design. :)

K1, P1, take bite of a sugar cookie

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I am allllmost finished with the first design. :D I have the pattern all typed up and just have a small amount knitting left to do, which is going to have to be put on hold for a short while. I am practically out of the colorway I am using for that design, so I needed to get more...that is a long story I am not going to get into, but after much searching I wasn't able to find what I needed. A couple days later a special someone(you know who you are) found it for me!!! Thank you!!! I just ordered it yesterday. It may not be in for a few weeks, so for the time being I am moving on to the next design.

A little peek of what is to come next...

and I am filling the house of the aroma of this yummy, deliciousness...

MmmmmM.
