My Etsy Store

How exciting! I finally posted the 2 Chunky Cowls I made on the Etsy website by opening a store. I  now have my Blog, a Ravelry site and Etsy store. In addition to the Chunky Cowl in the Aspen Tweed color, you can purchase a Chunky Cowl in a purple/pink color called Phoenix Azalea. You can go to the website by clicking on my store named MaryBeeKnits. This is the chunky Cowl in Phoenix Azalea:
This is the Chunky Cowl in Aspen Tweed. I'm wearing it a lot! It was made with Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn. It's very simple to make. I made a crochet chain of 80 stitches, with a crochet hook size N, and then used a slip stitch to connect them. I then made a double crochet in each stitch and made 10 rows total. It's very warm and soft. More information about the Chunky Cowl is also posted on Ravelry. I love the soft feel of this yarn.

The Rochelle Cowl

The red cowl that you see pictured below was made for a teacher I worked with. Her name is Rochelle so I named it the Rochelle Cowl. This cowl was so easy and enjoyable to make. I want to share the pattern with everyone. I also made this cowl in white. I gave the white cowl to a close friend at work, Pam. It's so nice to be able to make these cowls for people and them give them as gifts. This is made from Premier Yarns Everyday Soft Worsted.

My First Blog

This is my first Blog. I'm really excited! I'm going to start posting items that I work on as my hobbies. Right now I'm crocheting and knitting. I'm posting my completed projects to Ravelry and Etsy. I love to be creative and make things. I like to take old things and make them new and reusable.  You can see my projects at: http://www.ravelry.com/people/MaryBeeKnits

Homespun Cowl
Here is the first cowl that I knitted over 1 year ago. I wear it a lot. It's made from 
Lion Brand Homespun yarn and is very soft and warm.
