Seabury Organizers...

If you chat long enough to any knitter the topic of needle organization will eventually rise to the top of the conversation. We all fight with the long and unyielding straights, the DPNs that seem to multiply like bunnies and the unruly cables of the circulars. It's part of the price we pay to be a fully enabled knitter but I found a small way to organize my double pointers.
Part of my Christmas was a ticket to the Marketplace at Vogue Live! Knitting convention in NYC. It was such fun and I had the joy of having my husband accompany me and actually enjoy it. Well, maybe I'm taking a little bit of a liberty when I say he enjoyed it but being the good and kind man he is, he fully involved himself in my hobby and made the day so very enjoyable. When we came upon the 'Seabury Organizers' booth, I found the answer to at least part of my needle woes. They had an ingenious Spiral system that would neatly keep my needles secure while still giving me completely access and a cool little display. My husband was kind enough to purchase this system for me along with a matching small project bag.
I had to take a moment to share with everything this very cool organization system. They also have a way to use the system to organize your DMC thread and it would work great for make-up brushes, pens, earrings, the list goes on and on. It was such a cool idea and the designers were such wonderful people, I had to put a little blurb on my blog to show off their product.
Please take the time to take a quick look at their site and plan for future gifts, or yourself...

Slouchy Socks…like we used to wear in the 80's
To contact us Click HERE
These remind me of the slouchy socks I used to wear in the 80’s. They slouch nicely and the bottom incorporates a reverse stockinette so you are walking on the smooth side making it even more comfy!I did adjust the needle size a little since I thought the foot was too large in circumference.To make them a little more special, my 17 year old son helped me by knitting the little bags in the matching yarn. We rolled the socks and put them in the bags to make a really special sock gift! Who knew I’d be trading knitting tips with my son??? He is a great knitter, fast and very neat consistent stitches. The nice part is it used the left over yarn. Since my family knits as well, I sent the tiny amount of leftover yarn in the bags for possible repair work in the future.

Josh's Birthday Scarf and Hat...
To contact us Click HERE
This year for Josh's birthday I decided to knit him something special. Actually, I decided on four items, a scarf, a hat, a neck-tie and socks. Since the neck-tie and socks are being made out of a light fingering weight yarn, they are going to take a while to complete so I put my efforts in completing the scarf and hat set for his actual birthday.
Josh picked out the yarn himself when he took me to Vogue Knitting Live! After looking through every booth of yarn, he decided on a Robin Turner Gourmet Yarns in Llama and Silk. It is a buttery soft yarn that slides easily on the needles and creates well define stitches. I enjoyed working with this yarn very much and would like to use it for another project. I especially like the slight sheen it gives when knitted up.
