New sweater: “Peach Melba”

Lex — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:16:45 +0000

It’s a long time coming, but I’ve just added a new sweater to my Knit Purl Geek Girl shop at Etsy. It’s a simple peach/chocolate brown combo, with a bit of space to add a personalized monogram.

NEXT UP: A black & white Space Invaders sweater. I had actually finished it already, but because I was wingin’ it as I went, I misjudged the sizing at it was a bit tight for Bella’s shape. And by “tight”, when I tried to squeeze her shoulder and front legs into it, she exhaled like a wheezy bagpipe.

New sweater: “WOOF”!

Just added another fun sweater to my Etsy shop, Knit Purl Geek Girl. It’s a bit big for our Bella, but it’ll definitely be a great sweater for a dog of a larger breed or maybe just a little pudgy. :)

New sweater: “Belly Bones”

Just added this little sweater to Knit Purl Geek Girl. It’s pretty simple, with just a repeating bone motif around the sweater, but still fun and cozy nonetheless. :)
Next up: I started a medium blue sweater last night, doubled up on a lightweight yarn. I haven’t decided on what pattern or motif to do on it yet. I was thinking of perhaps doing a large snowflake or maybe a few small ones. Or maybe something else altogether like a small flock of white birds flying away. Hmm.

My New Etsy Store is Now Open!

With temperature starting to dip below 10C, it’s definitely time to bring out the sweaters. Doggie sweaters, that is. :)

Knit Purl Geek Girl, my new Etsy shop, is now open! Right now, there are only four sweaters listed, but I have another two in the wings that just need those last finishing details.

If you think you’re experiencing déja vu, you’re pretty close. Yep, around this time last year, I opened “Knick Knack Pack”, my first Etsy store. After taking a break from knitting during the summer and after an inspired new, catchier shop name, I felt like starting fresh. And why not? All the previous sweaters were sold, so there wasn’t even any old stock to carry over. A new products for a new season! Feel free to stop by, maybe pick up a sweater or just tell your friends about it. :)
