Pretty Knifty Knitting



Growing up I was surrounded by women who knitted.  Grandmother's to sisters, knitting was a way to provide accessories that offered warmth, comfort, and a little homemade style.  I personally never learned to knit, but have always admired those who do.  Perhaps is in my future cards as I approach retirement?  My next featured guest is a wonderful gal whom I've had the pleasure of meeting through my searches of all that is handcrafted in Etsy.  Here for your creative pleasure I introduce to you another gracious Artisanista.

Please meet...


Artisan and owner of the wonderful Etsy shop...



Named after Jamie's Grandmothers Clara and Ruth, Jamie brings to you her creative works in a variety of styles and a palette of colors.  Her styles include Thick and Chunk, Stylish Infinity, Team Spirit, and Long Ribbed just to name a few.

Following are a few examples of Jamie's creative works that I hope you'll enjoy viewing.


Here I bring to you a couple of my favorites from her Lightweight Collection which include this...



"It started when I tried to find a scarf to go with a walnut-dyed hat that my friend had made for me. Too long, too short, too thin, too wide, not the right color or texture. I'll make one, I thought. I've made scarves before. So - I did. I loved it."

A Nuckin' Futs Knitter

My first featured Artisanista of July is one whom I've known for a while.  In fact, Aida was one of the first Etsy people I'd met shortly after opening my shop.  I first met her as owner of Etsy shop "Oddity86" and through blogs and chats in the chat rooms became cyber pals of sorts.  Hailing from Allentown, PA, Aida is better known to us in Etsyworld as...



Aida specializes in OOAK handmade knitted works like this...
This lovely Chunky Blue Denim Slouchy that 80% acrylic, 20% wool.  It measures 30 inches around and 8 inches long.





She carries a variety of wonderful knitted accessories like this Spring Pink Pouch...







and this awesome Wooden Bead Purse Set.




Not only do her creations consist of knitted goods, but have a look at this OOAK Shopping Bag Wristlet... 





and Shopping Bag Coin Pouch.  Cute Cute Cute!








One of my faves is this Pink Purple Chunky Knit Hooded Scarf...
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

From Coffee Cozy's...

to an awesome variety of Fingerless Gloves and Warmers...


you find that Aida's assortment of One of a Kind creations truly represents "HandMade".

So stop by her shop...


her Blog...
