Faux Fur Fun

(I do love using alliteration in a blog post title... hehe!)

Hi everyone! Is it fall yet???? We had a good stretch of wonderful cool temperatures and inklings of fall's approach, but then it had to get all hot outside again. BOO. I am ready for fall!!! It's definitely my favorite season, and not just because it includes my birthday. ;-)

What have I been doing? Well a lot of cowls!!!!!


Those are all adult size seed-stitch cowls. They are addicting to make because they make great TV knitting projects!!!! In fact, this is what my desk looked like for awhile:


Neatness is not my strong suit. Haha. On top of the adult cowls you can see some of my KID cowls and on the very top, my foray into headbands! None of these (save the gray cowls) are in my shop just yet, but if you are interested you may send me a message! I am really hoping to do my first craft show this fall and I am trying to make a stockpile of items to have to sell. More details on that later!

In other news, I saw these awesome faux fur poms at the store:


I have seen a LOT of knitted hats with faux fur poms on them in Etsy shops, etc lately, and I thought I should give it a try! Here is how mine turned out:



It's hard to tell from the photos, but the top one with the brown pom is a gray yarn with brownish tweedy flecks in the yarn. The bottom one is solid gray yarn! I think they turned out pretty well. They are both listed in the shop right now (link in the right side bar). Also, if anyone is wanting a matching set, the gray seed stitch cowl in my shop perfectly matches the solid gray hat above (the second pic)!!!! Woohoo for matching! 

Have a great week everyone! :)
