Beach Hut-Knitting Kits

These knitted beach huts by Suzie Johnson are too adorable! Suzie owns a small knitting business, 'the wool sanctuary' that she runs from her home.

You can find her blog here, as well as the beach hut knitted kits.

Some Random Reminiscing

While sifting through my many folders of many photos, I'd thought I would share a few unique ones I have...

These two were taken at this really neat store in Kennebunkport, Maine. I Unfortunately don't remember the name of it.

My dad, thinking I've taken enough photos of him for the day. ;)

Yup. I do knit at the beach in the blazing sun. I cast on a honey comb(with my Shibui sock yarn) and knit while enjoying the atmosphere of the beach. Mmmm, the slight breeze, sand in your toes, heat of the sun on your skin, salty air, and the soothing sound of the waves crashing on the beach. The beach is one of my favorite places in the world.

Mr. Gully decided to join me. Hehe, he was quite the poser...

Cooling off the toes...

Super Cupcake & Knitting Notions

I am currently working on this Super Cupcake Slouchy Hat for myself for the coming winter. I am pretty picky when it comes to hats. Since It is going to be my first winter living in Canada, I am going to need a casual winter hat that can be worn most of the winter. I wanted a hat that could for the most part be worn with anything and keep my head and ears warm at the same time, and of course be stylish. I am really liking the way it is knitting up. For the body of the hat it is 'the fishermans rib' stitch, which I am enjoying, and love the look of. The yarn I am using is Spud & Chloe Sweater, worsted superwash, color: Beluga.

I got this super cute pouch as a gift last Christmas, and have been using it to store my knitting notions in. I love it! I have just enough room for my little scissors, needles for blocking, measuring tape, thread, markers, Chibi tapestry needles, cable needles, a button, a couple of stitch holders, and some scrap yarn. It is also the perfect little size to fit into my knitting bag/purse for on-the-go.

What knitting notions do you have, and what do you store them in? Please share! :)
