"Chosen" Fingerless Gloves



Sandra Singh of Sandra Singh.com is developing with an indie yarn dyer a line of yarns based on the vampire books. She asked if I could do a design for this line and I came up with Chosen. The tactile cable binding at the elbow with crystal beads makes the lace and ribbing of the fingerless gloves pop. Although the gloves may look complicated they are super simple to knit. At This time Sandra is unable to offer the pattern on her website. Please email me if you are interested in the pattern. (10-19-2009)

Hope everyone enjoys.

Preparing for the Winter Season (or Christmas)





This year I am pairing the hats and scarves together as a single item. The only real problem is getting the website up to speed. I hired in 2006, a consultant to set-up a shopping cart on the advice that it was more professional than a yahoo shopping cart. Still 3 years later I can't run the click cart pro application by myself and of course the consultant is long gone. Currently I am reading everything I can to understand the application.

Current projects are dog sweaters. Many of my friends and customers have asked for colorful and fun dog sweaters. Will be posting pictures of them as I finish them. Then will get posted to the website (hopefully by then I will understand the application better).

As always the shipping is free (USPS Priority mail) but, if you need UPS or FED EX overnight shipping is your cost. Paypal is the only option for payment.

If you have a particular style or color you want for yourself this year please send me and email.

Welcome Tour~



Welcome to Scarves for All Reasons

Our model is Rachel she is especially good at modeling scarves.

My husband and I moved to our present home in 2003. We are 4,000 ft above sea level and live on 103 acres. No we don't farm the acreage, its open range land and we let the cows wander as they will. We do have to be careful of snakes and usually see at least 4 a season.

In 2004, I started Scarves for All Reasons and would claim the business as a small success. I did trade shows including a 14 day show at the Barrett-Jackson Car Auction in 2006. With my location so isolated I find trade shows difficult to schedule and get to, so have removed them from our business plan.

I joined Ravelry last year and found two excellent groups. One is the cyber store group (which is the sponsor of this tour) and the other is World of Warcraft.
Thank you for visiting.

I joined Ravelry last year and meet some wonderful people. In the process I met the people and businesses that are participating in a blog tour this month.

Today, is Dodge Creations a business I have purchased yarns from (they were wonderful) in the past year. She works with several designers (nope I am not one of them) and her blogspot is a fun read. Her Website is a very clear concise site with prompt shipping.

Tomorrow on the tour is Fiber Dreams an incredibly talented designer. Her lace shawls are a delight to the eyes and her fan club is HUGE.

July 3rd is Scarves for all reasons.

July 4th is Desert Rose Designs

July 5th is Sandra Singh

July 6th is Miss Babs
