30 days of Knitting: Day Fve

How long did it take from the time you learned to knit to finish your first project?

    I learned how to knit about 2 or 3 years ago. During that time I liked the aesthetic of knitting, How my needles looked in my hand and how I looked while knitting, but I was not a fan of the turn out, and it took me FOREVER to figure out how to cast off properly. So all the pieces I did work on and come close to finishing I was unable to wear for fear of unraveling. 

  I'd say it took about 2 to 3 months of continuous knitting to complete a  project.  But Boy when I did I felt amazing!!! I'd felt like I'd taken on the world and had won, and believe you me, there is nothing in the word like it.

30 Days of Knitting: Day Three + Four

Do you have any other WiPs? + How did you learn to knit?

  I do indeed have a new Work in Progress. I am working on new fall products for the shop and am in the planning stages of a multicolor cowl. 

  My friend Nova Dee, taught me how to knit. She knits because she has a fidget habit and since I know it needed less yarn then my crochet habit, she taught me second semester of school and I've been knitting ever since!! I thank her every day for her help!

30 Days of Knitting: Day Two

What is Currently on your needles?

 Knitting and Crochet are activities that are very calming for me, they give me a kind of suspended state. Now having mentioned that, the way I knit and Crochet are very hectic, I usually have multiple different projects on my needles at the same time. At the moment I have three projects on my needles:

-Katie's Kitten Makeup Bag- 40% complete (Knit)

  A rectangular knit bag in yellow, with a kitty face and ears, Velcro Clasp

-Eboni's Dead Cat Hat- 79% complete (Crochet)

  An all black hat with Black Cat ears and black tassels, with a dead kitty face done in White thread. 

-Gianna's Watermelon Pillow- 25% complete (Crochet)

  A green and Red Crocheted Pillow with super soft fluff inside and threaded seeds.

Welcome to SEPTEMBER!!

 Hello Readers, I can't believe it is already September! The year is literally flying past me. I'm going to have to get my life together! I am determined to make the best of September this year. 

 Here are just a few of the things I'm hoping to be able to do this month.


- September 28th-30th: Ohio Comic-Con. During this weekend I will be in Columbus getting my nerdette on. I have two costumes completed. 

- FINALLY MOVE INTO MY APARTMENT. I am so ready to start living in the watchtower, it's not even FUNNY. If you are wondering why I call it the watchtower. ( JLU's headquarters is called the Watchtower, and I'm a nerd. It's not that hard to put together.)

- An Exciting 365 Photography project. 

- I've been re-energized to create, Brand new items for the shop.

 I'm so ready for September you guys! Fresh New Month, Fresh New Start. It's also the first official month that VSS is OPEN for Sponsors. If you guys are interested in Sponsoring me, or doing button  swaps please feel free to email me!

30 Days of Knitting: Day One

What was your first finished Project?

My first finished Knit project was a pink and white neck warmer. I was inspired by Twinkie Chan's Diagonal peppermint Scarf. I was really happy with it, I wore it until the wear and tear created unfixable holes. I have yet to remake it, I might do that this winter...

My First finished Crochet Project was a red and white striped purse. It was completely done in single crochet, I was sooo happy when I completed it, I wore it everywhere. I still have it, I called it the candy Striper and it is still a pattern that I use when people commission purses from me.
