I find that the only time of the year that I knit and crochet are during the
winter holidays. It's perfect for gift giving, but more importantly, it's perfect for keeping my fingers warm on cool nights. I find that doing any crafting, creating, and making is great for boosting moods and calming souls. The feeling of accomplishment and the process of creating itself is such a soothing activity. Also, it really sets a wonderful tone for the holiday season.
This year I learned how to do the trendy
herringbone knit stitch via
SteamyKitchen.com. Unfortunately, by the time I finished the scarf earlier this year, it was too warm to wear it. Instead, I tucked it into my scarf box in my closet and am waiting for a cooler day this winter to wear it!
Scarfs for me can really tie a look together. The look is of cozy and comfortable, as well as put together and well thought out. An instant pick me up on chilly days!
Also, remember how I posted
here that I have all the ingredients now for a blog? I have one more perfect ingredient! Thanks to the lovely Erin from one of my favorite blogs,
Like Want Need, I now have Yelle Events business cards!

I love scarves and that one looks so cozy! Also, I want that yellow chair :)
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful! And that scarf? I love it! I need to pick up knitting I do believe.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the business cards! I am very fond of your header, and it translates so nicely to this format.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I guess I'd better get on that whole blog makeover and business cards thing. Thanks for the motivation, Yelle :). I've also got knitting projects from last year I never finished... you're right, there's something about the colder weather. I'm never going to be a Meredith, knitting and crocheting the year through!

Congratulations on the beautiful biz cards and thank you for featuring the awesome yellow chair again :)
ReplyDeletesweet cards! ack, seriously how did you do that amazing stitch?! it's really, really beautiful. for some reason all the embroidery i do doesn't really bother me but knitting kills my shoulder, so i gave it up. i never even figured out the purl stitch so it's probably not a loss to anyone ;) xo
ReplyDeleteI just have to say I LOVE your blog! I myself want to get in to the event planning business! Love the business cards by the way! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your business cards! So pretty and what a deal! You are so talented being able to knit, I once knew how to crochet, I should get back into it. :)
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me want to pick up my knitting again too! Love the business cards too!

First off, that scarf is amazing! I'm a huge scarf fan, you're right, they totally tie an outfit together. I'm guilty of wearing light scarves in the summer when it's beyond the appropriate temperature, but I just can't help myself. I wish I could knit/crochet like you. I'll have to take my grandmother up on her offer to teach me. Herringbone is so chic!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your business cards! They turned out so amazingly. Aren't Moo cards the best?! I'm so glad you took advantage of the promotion and scored some. So, so spiffy, miss! You're the sweetest! xoxo
that chair is lovely! and the scarf looks so soft. :)
ReplyDeleteI miss crocheting!! I don't even remember how to do it anymore. You've definitely got a knack ;)

That yellow chair is gorgeous. I love a good scarf but I just can't seem to make them work for me. I always feel super conscious when I wear one.
ReplyDeleteI like your cards guuuurl. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Yelle! I like looking at your shelf :) Also, you're right about the feeling you get after making artsy stuff. I like the feeling of accomplishment, too. Even during work, it makes me feel relaxed. Maybe because I love what I do :)
ReplyDeletei love anything herringbone! i'll have to put that scarf on my to do list!
ReplyDeleteI love scarves, mitts and anything handmade!
