First Knitting Pattern!

Out of the Thistle Leave a comment

It’s a new year, which means fresh opportunities, fresh new ideas! One new idea for this year: create more knitting patterns. So, I did!

Now available: The Budding Foliage Fingerless Gloves Pattern, in PDF format for knitting. These mittens feature a lovely bobble and leaf motif on the top of the gloves, with just a leaf motif underneath. Eyelet detail at thumb gussets. These make perfect three-season mittens. You may purchase the pattern here on Etsy, or here on Ravelry.

All about Autumn.

To us, Autumn is all about pumpkins, spicy colors, warm beverages, and cozy knits. My newest design, a PRiMiTeDs bear encompasses everything that we believe this season has to offer. Please meet CHai-T with his creamy, pumpkin pin cushion!

This small bear (5″ tall) is fully jointed and fulled / felted from 100% wool. He is also slightly weighted. His chai-colored fur was hand-dyed and shaded for a more unique look. He even has a hand-embroidered face. He is keeping the chill away with his cabled, cinnamon-hued scarf, which was handknitted with acrylic by Rhonda. His scarf is pinned on so it doesn’t blow away in the Autumn breeze! He comes with his own slightly-weighted, cream-colored pumpkin pin cushion that is 3″ in diameter and has the rustic letters of “Fall” stitched to it. Chai-T is pinned and posed atop his pumpkin. This bear has been made to look passed down, and is a perfect addition to any primitive collection.
No longer available.

Happy Fall, Y’all!

We are so excited to experience the changing canopy this time of year.  It is very inspiring!  God has blessed us with the vivid golds, reds, oranges, and greens.  With cooler weather around the corner, it prompts us to fill the crock pot and craft all day.

We feel as though the Lord has blessed us in many aspects of our lives, and that He has so much in store for us.  He has lead us throughout the years and has taught us many things.  We are truly thankful for the gifts and inspirations He has given to us and what He continues to give.  Expect great things from our business in the future, as we learn and grow.  We see the changes both in our business, and out our front door.  We are excited to see what is to come!
