Gauntlets Galore


I have finished writting out my gauntlet pattern. I am pretty happy with it being my first really complex pattern and a lace one at that.


Big news I have opened an Etsy Store. kgiffen.etsy.com


There is only my gauntlet pattern for now but I have hopes to add more, and stitch markers too


This blog also has side links to all my patterns.


Currently I am knitting away on an entralac hat for Bethy. I am doing the last bit of ribbing. I really like the pattern and would like to try it in a different gauge for an adult size.

Notes on Ruffles

Notes on Ruffles is up. A basic gist of how to make a ruffled skirt. Because I would make changes to how I knit Bethy's Skirt I added it as a Free Pattern to Ravelry.
What is really exciting to see is that people seam to really like it. Close to 80 people have called the pattern a favorite.

I also just finished writing up the Gauntlet pattern. Maybe I will need a test knitter just to check out the bugs.

Still it is nice to be excited about my patterns again.

2009 update


Wow 2 months since I wrote anything here. Not that I meant to go this long but we had a bit of a Chaotic holiday season. Still finished several projects and have started several more. I have been busy focusing on ways to save money, loose weight and be more organized. Still I have been doing a lot of knitting especially with Josh needing gall bladder surgery.


Still a happy 2009 to all
