Baby knits

Since I mostly only post things about my shop, I decided to blog about something personal. For anyone that doesn't know, I am almost 34 weeks pregnant. We are expecting a baby girl on March 16. For the last month or so I have been working on some stuff for the baby. I have never really designed clothes for an infant, so this is a first for me. I am really happy with how everything turned out though. I made a cute little pink slouch hat for her too, but I hope to photograph it on her.

Capri slouch hat FINALLY A NEW ITEM IN MY SHOP!

I originally came up with this design because my mom was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. She is about to begin chemotherapy treatments and was told she would lose her hair. I decided that she deserves to look great with or without hair, so I designed a stylish slouchy hat that will cover her entire head and ears. When I finished with her hat, I tried it on just to see if it would fit. I fell in love with it and have since made myself one as well as my soon-to-be-born baby girl. I also plan to list more of these in my shop in different colors and fibers, so check back often. If there is a certain color or fiber you would like to see, send me a convo. Suggestions are always welcome. This hat has never been worn and is ready to ship. For more information, visit: http://www.bettysoriginalknits.etsy.com/.

Shop Update

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am in the process of re-thinking my shop. I am focusing on knitting for my loved ones for Christmas. I am also planning for a new baby, so I have lots of things going on right now. I have decided to let all the items listed in my shop expire. After the first of the year, I will decide if I want to relist any of the items that are currently in my shop. I may decide to go in a whole different direction, so if there's anything in my shop that you want, get it soon, or it may not be available again. You can also let me know that you want it and I will hold it for you. Please keep in mind that I am unable to do custom orders at this time.
