For the Love of Knitting!

Now that Valentine's Day is upon us I have been turning my needles to projects outside of my Etsy store. Long promised cozies for patient family members and armwarmers for a friend in Durango to help keep her warm through their apparently endless and heavy winter (thanks Heather for the custom order!).
I am excited to needle felt some lovely spring related items soon. I keep having to remind myself that it is still only February and to have patience for the first signs of color sprouting from the earth. Meanwhile there is no reason I can't create gardens with fiber! Soon enough I will be placing seeds and starts in the soil and oohing and ahhing over the amazing beauty of Spring bulbs.
So here are a couple of treats for you The first is a picture of the arm warmers I knit for my friend stuck in eternal winter and the next is the Klean Kanteen Cozy I knit for Seamus (finally geez mom!) in his favorite colors : Green and orange.
