Knitted Baby Hats!

I've begun stocking Baby Hats in my Etsy shop.




So I went on Vacation and stopped by to see one of my Sister's.  Her Daughter wanted to learn how to knit....  and I re-caught the knitting bug!
I really truly honestly DID try not to pick up her needles and play around.  (you don't believe me do you) WELL I DID TRY!

Some crafts are so addicting aren't they?

Knitting is a world in itself.  Everything from start to finish becomes "important".  The size needles for the yarn.  The right yarn for that particular item.  The cast on, cast off methods.  That special stitch to give it that quality needed. Seaming.  OH the seaming!  There's nothing worse than knitting something for hours and there is that seam.  Oh no, you can't just do a hack job.  There are a gazillion methods to seaming, and each item needs the correct finishing method.

When I first started knitted a couple years ago....  If I couldn't seam it correctly?  Rip the whole thing out and start something new.  ugh!

These little beauties are just a couple of the Knitted Baby Hats in my Etsy shop.

Please stop by and take a peek!

Country Living in Kentucky


Did I mention I live in the Country?  I'm talking Amish down the road, Horses and Cows in the field and Snakes on the porch.

Sometimes, the snakes around here run right into the shovel head.  I don't get it.

My New Blog about My life and Baby Items




I'm just going to dive right on in here and introduce myself.

I'm Jean. Nice to see you here!

I've been fiddling with all the settings and widgets and colors here. It's no use, I'm just going to have to find a more professional look and I need help! lol

But for now, it's fine.

A few weeks ago I opened a shop on Etsy. It's being stocked with all kinds of baby and kid stuff, for both boys and girls. (athough you'll see I like making more things for girls... maybe because I had two of my own and no boys?) sigh, don't hate me, I'll get on the boy thingy's soon. :)

I've also started a Facebook page with a Fan Page. Did a Pinterest. Did a Flickr. Did a Google+ (not that I know what to do with it). Did a twitter. Now if I could just figure out how to add those little letter links to my blog here... oh the work to do.

I want to tell you what began this little venture. Back in January of this year, I was thrown from a horse into a cement above ground well. Broke up to 9 ribs, punctured a lung, colapsed that. Shattered my T11 vertebrae which is still healing. The ribs and lung are good now.... although I'm sure they are still fragile at this point. With all that said, what did I do for months in recovery? Crocheted!

I crocheted so many baby blankets it's crazy. Therapy? Maybe. For sake of sanity because I was in a back brace and couldn't DO anything else? Maybe. But I have dozens of them, all gorgeous. (and have I taken a picture of any of them? nope) I know I know! More things to do! ha.

I did branch out into smaller items, which have been easier to take pictures of. So I've been doing that for now.

Ok. Now you have met me. Probably think I'm a little crazy (I am). But I am glad you stopped by!

Please leave a comment if you'd like and say hi. I'd also like to visit your blog if you have one.

Back to fiddling with this blog... I still don't like the look of it. LOL

Blessings, Jean
