New project....

Today I started a market bag in country green. After crocheting out the first ball I realized that it was too boring so I added another colour called warm brown. I must say it is quite nice. I will post the pics so you can see what I mean. I will need to take the new pic tomorrow for you all to see what it looks like now. It's too late and too dark.

Have a great day!

Ange's Afghan

What a difference a week make, I think I have about 20 more rows to go and then I'm done. I am knitting a kids hat and doing my daily crosswordsalong with this afghan in order to get breaks.

Ange's Afghan

I'm currently working on an afghan for a very good friend of mine who is now a client as well. She is smart and amazing and really into her wines and run her own company in Toronto, check out her site and see for yourself: http://www.iyellowwineclub.com/. My girl Gill and I are planning on doing one of her special events in the near future.

Anyways, back to the afghan, I started it last night and so far have committed 6 hours and I must say im as please as punch with the way it's turning out. I plan to dedicated at least 2 hours every other day until completed. Look at it and tell me what you think? The colours are dark brown, khaki, cream and it will have a bit of wine induced into it every few rows.

OOOHHHHH it is so hard to keep up with this blog but I promised that for 2010 I will try harder.

Etsy is finally here...

..I have also updated my website, check it out at: www.thejoyofknitting.com

The Joy of Knitting - http://thejoyofknitting.com - was born in October 2001 from a passion I have always had to be creative, innovative, and challenged while achieving my life-long passion to teach and inspire others with my knitted and crocheted creations. In 2005 I launched a very successful eBay store - http://stores.ebay.ca/The-Joy-of-Knitting?refid=store - dedicated to selling yarn, knitting and crochet needles, books, patterns and cross-stitch kits. On November 28, 2009 I extended The Joy of Knitting by adding an online store - http://www.etsy.com/shop/dylanadesigns - on Etsy.com. I am in the process of populating the Etsy store with my handmade knitted and crocheted items and although tedious I can assure you I will be updating as often as I can.

Please feel free to give me your honest feedback. I am hoping that with Christmas almost upon us and winter fast approaching you might be interested in purchasing gifts for your loved ones. Remember I will gladly customize your order to your preference.

This announcement is being sent to everyone on my contact lists which includes all my clients, friends, and family. Please help me out by sending my web site to all the people on your contact list.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

The hair is in braids while I recover from surgery. I am at home trying to keep sane, so im knitting and crocheting up a storm and im anticipating opening up my etsy store shortly. Here is a collage of some of my stuff:

My hair straightened

So last week after cutting about an inch off my hair, my daughter used the blow dryer and blowed out my hair, then her ceramic iron and straightened. I was so different and I liked it, but I realize I still love my natural curls better. What is nice is that my hair is so versatile and I can do so much with it. Never a boring moment!
