A Row of Stitches

A Row of Stitches I'm a knitaholic and a socially awkward phobic bird. I find serenity in knitting, especially late into the night while everyone else are counting sheep.

Here I sit as a socially awkward phobic bird trying to find a purpose and meaning to this madness called life. I'm Brianne and I'm a newbie knitaholic and longtime crocheter. I've recently had a bout of health issues that keeps me off my feet and I can't stand idle hands so I decided I'd learn to knit AKA find something that my mom or sisters didn't know how to already do.... I took to YouTube and

perused through a kazillion videos until I taught myself how to knit, how to knit faster and then I had to know EV-ER-Y-THING there is about knitting and here I am. Did I mention I'm obsessive about mastering things?
​
I'm already finding a passion for creating my own patterns⏤I've frogged many a times, to get things just right. I may as well also mention I'm a perfectionist. I've teamed up with my local homeless shelter and use the net proceeds from my sales to purchase yarn and make handmade items to donate because quite frankly, I knit and crochet for my sanity and that's all I need. Yes, going to the store would be easier and at times, cheaper, but nothing says others care more, than receiving handmade items, right?
​
I can't wait to share how I knit, patterns I want to create or have created, projects and whatever else I can think of very soon! Feel free to contact me whether you're a newbie like me or an experienced knitter (chiming in "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy). We all can benefit, right!? I hope you enjoy following me along my journey!

First set of pumpkins of the season! This set was our most popular item locally and on Etsy last year. It's fun to be making them again. This set of pumpkins are headed to North Carolina.

I designed a new dishcloth today!
Now I need to set the color, launder, and put the dishcloth to the test in the kitchen. If all goes well, the pattern as well as a pairing of dishcloths will be added to my Etsy shop! ❤️
For me, it’s extremely important to put my designs to the test. Often, I’m happy with the outcome, but occasionally, there are adjustments I need or want to make.
For the makers out there, what’s your process for getting your handmade items ready to sell?

Posting projects hasn't been happening as I've been enrolled in college. Two semesters done and one to go! I’m enjoying the weeklong break this week. Here’s a blanket I’m doing. The texture is fabulous, and I love that this is going to be a heavy blanket!

Exactly two years ago today, I taught myself how to knit. I've had a set of knitting needles in my hands ever since. I usually have a big project and a little project I work on simultaneously. In the past couple of months, I've been designing this blanket and writing the pattern to share with others.

After swatching and sharing my ideas for a new blanket, I went to work on it. It was great, but it just wasn’t exciting enough for me. So I frogged it. 🐸
Although I’m typically a grayscale kinda gal, I wanted to soften it with a natural section and add a different texture to that section too.
I’m also taking time to write the pattern as I knit along. Stay tuned for photos as this project unfolds and be on the lookout as I’ll offer the pattern up for free to a select few willing to do a test knit for me. I hope to have it available for testing in November.

Swatching today for a new blanket idea. I think we have a winner although my mosaic section needs one more row to make it symmetrical.
