Renewing with my blog

First of all, i would like to say hello to all of you who used to read my blog in the past. I have to apologize for my very long absence on blogger.  I can hardly beleive it's been almost a year since i came here. There is no reasons, really. Many things happened in my life, personnal problems i do not want to mention here. I had some difficult times and blogging just seem to be too much energy for me.

I still have my etsy shop and it is keeping me quite busy.  A year and a half ago, i was ill and during my recovery, i took to knitting socks and knitting became my full time job. I have  knitted so many socks for customers and i am still quite busy with orders. I have created socks using many leftover sock yarns and my Happy Socks were born. They became so popular that for many months, i did not have any free time to do anything else.

 Each of my Happy socks are one of a kind, not one will be the same and that is what makes them so unique. They became so popular that i decided i could make fingerless gloves using the same happy sock yarns. I even knitted a pair of Happy legwarmers for a dear lady and she adored them. Knitting really took over my life and so many ideas are flowing. If any of you wish to own a pair of socks or mittens or legwarmers, do not hesitate to let me know. But you have to be aware that these take time, so i am hoping you will be patient.

I will leave you with some more pictures for you to see and i will try and come here a little more often. I am a bad blogger, always said so. I am just hoping to get better and that you will enjoy reading my future posts. Take care lovelies and hoping you are all enjoying your summer xoxo

Crayons Mitts

I bought this lovely yarn while on vacation at Cape Cod this summer and decided to knit pair of mittens for myself. I know, i am being selfish, i should knit for my daughters. But i just could not resist this luscious color. I hesitated between knitting a hat or mitts, but as i read a post on nutty irishman knits " smitten on mittens " my decision was made. I am almost done on my first mitten and i am absolutely delighted with the colorway !It is so rich and intense and the yarn is so nice to knit with. That's it ! I am smitten with mitten , i am even more smitten on Kureyon ! I will have to knit some more, I WANT A PILE OF MITTS!!! Well, maybe not all Kureyon mitts, i have so many pattern i want to try. Especially some gorgeous latvian patterns i found.

This one is not any particurlar pattern, i just wanted a simple pair so we could appreciate the colorway even more. I opted for just a simple cable pattern on the front side. I am also thinking of casting off with a kitchener stitch, seems to me it will look prettier. Mind you, i am not a very experience knitter, so i may be wrong. I will post more pictures later of the final results and after a good blocking. I have a collegue at work who is married to a japanese and she told me this morning the meaning of " Kureyon " as she was admiring the lusciouness of the yarn. It means crayons. What an appropriate name for such beautiful yarn, don't you think ?
