Crocheting the Day Away

Let me tell you, if you don't already know, planning a wedding is a ton of work! I am so sorry I have been MIA for a few months. It doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of blogging though!

When I have been taking a break from wedding planning, it's been to work on expanding my Nice and Knotty business. I have come up with some new items and I opened up a store on Etsy in April! You can check it out here: NiceandKnottyOnline. I would love to hear what you think! I am hoping to get some more items listed in my shop soon; it is looking a little bare.

Here's a few photos of some of my newest items:

Baby Loafers

 Slouchy Beanie

 Baby Bikini

If you have any ideas for suggestions for new items to make, color combinations or comments in general, please share them!

Me & My Hook

I previously shared a few of my latest Pinterest projects with you so now I decided to show you my latest Nice and Knotty items.

First up are these slippers. This is the newest thing I've learned to make and they are already becoming quite popular (I have had several requests from family members asking for a pair for Christmas)!

Next is this adorable girl football hat and just in time for football season! My sister sent me picture of one similar to this and asked if I could make a version of it...yes, why yes I can!

Lastly, aside from hats, this is my most popular item: Earwarmers. These were a popular item last fall and winter and they are returning to the top of my sales list as this year's cold weather season approaches!

I am currently working on a few custom orders and trying out some new hat styles. I'll show them to you in a later post. I'd love any suggestions you have for items you'd like to see, color combinations, embellishments, styles or comments in general!

Nice and Knotty

I’ll just come right out and say it: I love to crochet! I crochet during 95% of my free time. I love it so much that I opened an online shop called Nice and Knotty, so I could sell the items I make (and have an excuse to crochet even more).

Almost 2 years ago, I was living in a 350-square-foot Texas hotel room with my boyfriend. (More on why we were there later!) The town we lived in was quite small with nothing much to do. I was bored one day and desperate for something to occupy my time. I had brought my grandmother’s crochet hooks and a bit of scrap yarn with me with the intent of “learning to crochet one day”. Well, today was that day! I pulled out my supplies, scoured YouTube for a video that I could follow and started teaching myself to crochet. Since the moment I mastered my first single crochet stitch, I haven’t stopped crocheting for more than a few days at a time.

I’m currently working on an order placed in my online shop for a baby blanket with matching booties and a hat. Here’s a peek at the design that the blanket is forming. It's a simple Granny Square pattern but I think it looks lovely.

If you want to look at past items I’ve made or the items I have listed for sale, the links for my online shop and facebook page are listed at the bottom of this post.
