Easter is fast approaching

But there's still plenty of time to knit up some treats for Easter baskets.

The Calorie Free Chocolate Bunny pattern is available for just $3.00. Click the Buy Now button in the right sidebar to purchase.

And the Ducklings are free!
Both are fun quick knits. 

I've got two bunnies in the works myself. It took just about two hours to get each of the bodies done. 

Hearts & Flowers

It was my mom's birthday this week & my present was that I flew down to see her. But I wanted to make her something as well & when I saw this free pattern from Badbird's I knew it was the perfect thing. (I love her art so much, I just bought her pig print with will be the third of her pieces we have in our house!)

Her kitchen is decorated with lots of swedish things & this fits right in. I did the pattern pretty small, the inside portion of the frame is only 3" x 3".

Usually when I do an embroidery pattern I transfer it onto the fabric with dressmakers paper but I was worried I wouldn't be able to do that with this one because of the detail & size. So, I tried a little experiment & just pinned the paper with the pattern on it right in the fabric & embroidered through both. It worked amazingly well though I did have to use tweezers to get some of the paper out of the stitches at the end. Now I'm working on a Swedish horse to go with it.

Garter Yoke Cardi in Progress

I've been busily work on my garter yoke cardi from Knit1. I've been trying it on as I go along just to make sure the decreases & increases for the waist are at the right spot for me. Being able to do this is one of the joys of knitting a top down sweater.

Luckily for me this pattern seems to be written perfectly for my shape so no need to change the pattern in the body at all. I am changing the arms though since I want them full length & fitted instead of belled. I also picked out buttons. There was a lot of ways I could go with this camel color.

I went for something with a little pop of color. There is the camel color in these but also touches of blue & pink.

I'm also busy adding new things to the shop. These two throw pillow are just up this week.

Finally!

I think for two years I've been talking about opening an Etsy store & I've finally taken the plunge with The Snuggery. I hope to keep a good supply of new items coming out of my little craft room.

Right now I have two cute throw pillows available.

Plus a bunch of paper collage framed wall hangings I've been making lately.

And one little knit gnome

It's always a little nerve-wracking putting the things you made up for sale so I hope you all like them.
