Finished order

This is the cream scarf with black edges. Its just over 70 inches long and made if a wool acrylic blend. This yarn is SOOOOOO soft! I was shocked at how soft it was.

Please forgive any typing errors as this is being posted from my phone

Sale Info

The Twitterversary sale I had going on was a success if I do say so myself.  Though I didn't get as many sales as I was hoping for, I did get myself out there and the word spread around about my shop, which is important. I'm also starting a repeat customer special.  When you order, you will receive a special code for your next purchase.  This code is good until the end of the year, however, if you buy close to the end of the year, I will have another code then.  Repeat customers get 15% off their next purchase!  This code will be sent to you via either a conversation on Etsy (if you purchase the item through Etsy) or through your invoice on PayPal (if you purchase through my Facebook fan page).  I'm also in the process of working out a referral program as well.  This will only be for those who share my links on Facebook and Twitter as I have no other way of keeping track of sharing links.  Once I have finalized this special, I will post here the details and on my Twitter and Facebook page.

I'm working on some great custom orders.  Right now, I'm working on the red, white, and blue throw (thank you Jill for the open time table), a great cream scarf with black edging, and a hunter green and gold yellow striped scarf.  The cream scarf should prove interesting as I will be combining loom knitting and crochet!  This will be a interesting project as I've never combined the two before.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to try something new!

As always, if you don't see a color scarf you would like, please contact me for a custom listing and I will get it made within 48 hours of your paid purchase of the item!  I really do enjoy working on these great projects and enjoy working with you, my customers and followers!

I have a special going on in the shop!  If you use code SCARF11 you receive free shipping!  This is great since scarf season is right around the corner (and they could have been used today here in Colorado)!  So check out the shop here and pick out a scarf!  If you don't see a color you like, please feel free to contact me and I can make a custom listing for you.  If you feel more comfortable with receiving an invoice via PayPal, you can contact me here using the contact tab stating what color scarf you want and your PayPal address.

Crochet Time!

I'm so excited!  My husband is heading back to work and with that means I'll be back to alone time to crochet after cleaning the house.

Projects in the works:
perfecting the Lion Brands arm warmer pattern I found
a fun jellyfish that I'm tweaking from this pattern with fun bulky yarn
custom red, white, and blue throw
ferret hammocks (only have red fleece right now)

Scarf season is upon us though and I really want to encourage people to get in their orders now.  If you purchase from my shop here, use code SCARF11 for free shipping!  Once I have the arm warmers perfected, I will be putting them up and I will be offering a special of matching scarf, hat, and arm warmers as they're made out of the same yarn as the scarves!!!  I have not decided on the specifics yet, but will post once I've decided.

And as always any crocheted or knitted item in the shop can be completely customized to the colors of your choice.

Fall is Coming!!!

Well here in Colorado Springs it is 56 outside and drizzling outside.  The highs have decided they are done reaching into the 90s and we are lucky to hit the 80s.  Oh fall is definitely on its way!!!  The mountains have already started getting very small amounts of snow.  Oh we are coming up on my personal favorite time of year, winter!

But we're not there yet and this is the perfect time to start thinking about and buying your winter gear.  A good scarf is useful here from October till April and sometimes into May.  This is the perfect time to think about purchasing this years fab choice.  Because of this, a scarf special will begin running in the next couple of weeks to run through Halloween (my personal favorite time of year).  Use code SCARF11 at checkout in the Etsy shop and receive free shipping.

Shop status: custom orders are definitely open and I am working on one as we speak.  I'm definitely back into crocheting now that the highs are no longer in the 90s (too hot for me to deal with yarn).  I'm also working on a throw for personal use that I can't wait to share with y'all.  If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask!
