Working on Autumn -- Ready Soon!

Hi to All,

Time really flies by and autumn is nearly upon us.  Here in Happy Valley, the sure signs of autumn are the return of the Penn State students and the revving up for the upcoming football season.  At KnittenKaboodle, it means a whole new assortment of fabrics and designs.

This is a quick posting as I am deeply in the middle of autumn production, both sewing and knitting.  I have a few samples on the sewing side to share today, with quite a bit more on the cutting table.  The first deliveries will be ready for Tait's Harvest Shop next week!  I will post more at that time. 




Three Aprons, three styles. There will be assorted styles and decorative touches!




Lavender 'trivets': Release the light essence with a warm teapot or serving dish, or just through handling.




More trivets under construction

 I will have more news on the knitting side of the business very soon! 

True Blue

We are so excited to have a new creation from contributing artist Betty Sebastian!  Drawing her inspiration from the lovely surroundings and warm climate of South Carolina, Betty focuses on using highest quality alternative fibers, which especially appeal to people with allergies to wool and wool blends. 

She has crafted a take-anywhere wrap that is as sturdy as it is pretty, and sports a wonderful sheen indicative of silk (but without the special care concerns!).  A great way to ward against overly chilly air conditioning or to throw on once those evenings begin to cool off. 

The stitch work is so pretty, yet contemporary it works well with anything from sundresses to denim.

Crochet is not just afghans and granny squares and I invite you to indulge in Betty's lovely wrap.  http://knittenkaboodle.com/handknits.htm

I will write more about crochet in future blogs, as I am continually impressed by the depth and variety of stitches and uses for this particular craft form.  For me personally, I am far less experienced in this craft and am proud to offer works from other fine artists.  To learn more about crochet, please check out    http://www.crochetyourway.com/  by Misty Ledbetter.

A final note today: a small journey to South Carolina!
