Treasury Wednesday 2: Knifty Knits

This week's treasury feature was inspired by a few fabulous knitting-related items I stumbled upon recently.  I just finished a lovely knitted scarf/wrap, and have been in a really knitty-mood all week as a result.  So sit back and enjoy, even if you aren't a knitter yourself!

Knifty Knits Treasury on Etsy


Metric Green Key Ring Gauge Man by Make & Krake
Because what die-hard knitter doesn't need a needle gauge everywhere they go?!




Ball of Knitters Yarn Sterling Silver Charm with a Silver Chain by AgHalo
This one started the treasury.  It's the type of object that would always been getting compliments and the non-crafter's obligatory awe-filled question "Do you knit?  It seems so hard!"



Cable Knit Ceramic Tall Cup by reshapestudio
What can I possibly say about a cup that looks and feels like knitted cables?  Drinking my morning cup of coffee from this every morning would be heaven underneath my fingers.



Knitted Handbag - Beige Bag Nr-0110 (15% off!) by NzLbags
I love knitted cables, they're easily manipulated to any project.  This bag looks so soft and pliable, and the deep orange ribbon adds an elegant statement against the beige bag.  Gorgeous.


So what do you think about these items?  Any other knitting-related items you'd like to share?  I'm all ears!

Treasury Monday 1: Soft Tones

As promised! 

A day late, but better late than never, I say!  Every Monday here on Stitches & Stuffing I will be posting a new treasury that I have compiled on Etsy.  Today my treasury theme is Soft Tones.  The past few days here in Arizona have been chilly, cloudy, and at times even foggy, which has put me in a relaxed mood.  Here is where you will find the actual treasury, and below I'll give you some sneak peeks!

Classic Brass Accent Lamp Set by AMRadio
I am a nut for Mid-Century pieces, and these lamps are right up my alley!  If I could afford them, I wouldn't be showing them off here, I'd be enjoying them in my new living room!

 N'est-Ce Pas French Stamped Eco-Friendly and Recycled by I RECKON.
I love it when people use every day materials in such fun and creative ways, and I love that it even more when people do it with things destined for the trash heap!  And a little bit of Down South decor never hurt nobody!

 Autumn Bee and Tortoise Short Shawl Pin by GardenOfWeedinGirl
I am crazy for shawls and stoles.  I adore wearing them, I love making them, and I really love buying pins for them!  So an entire shop dedicated to pins I can use for my shawl is heaven!



I'd also like to say that I finally got a few new items up yesterday in my shop, so head on over and let me know what you think!  I am making it my goal to make and list a new item every other day, and hopefully I will succeed!
