The EtsyKnitters are a wonderful bunch of [...]

What’s New?

I was finally able to get myself motivated in February and got two new patterns finished and listed.

New Knitting Pattern! Fingerless Mitts

Sherri — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:00:46 +0000

I’ve been working days as a cashier at a big box pet store, and have enjoying it. Until winter came… Having to stand near the front door all day when it’s really cold outside is not fun. We’ve had a real winter here in Houston and my California girl roots are not enjoying [...]

New Crochet Pattern!

Sherri — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:28:18 +0000

I am proud to announce that I have yet another sock monkey pattern. When I first became enamored (obsessed) with sock monkeys, I wanted to knot one and couldn’t find a pattern anywhere. So I eventually made my own pattern (and, of course, now you can find plentyy of them to choose from…)

Sherri — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:17:34 +0000

I don’t know about you, but for me, this summer has just flown by. And I’m ready for it to be over, too. It’s been in the mid to upper 90’s here in Houston since late May and I’m sick of the heat. I may have never said this before in my entire life, but [...]
