Finally got my act together to take a picture of this beauty I finished before the baby was born. This was one of the more complex pieces I’ve made, and it was fun to have a challenge! you are amazing for designing such an eye-catching garment 😍
Should I keep it or should I sell it?

My first event was a success! Come down and see HikerKnits on 5/13/23 in Redding, CT for the Redding Artisans Fair!
DONE with my booth sign! I won’t lie when I say this was extremely tedious and I could only work on it late at night after my kids were in bed. But, it was worth the backache! It will be on display at my booth during my first festival this Saturday, 4/22/23, at the New Fairfield CT Earth Fay festival.
Very happy to have earned my star seller badge on Etsy! I celebrated by adding a few more items to the shop while I prep for fair season.
Very proud of herself for finding the one egg that the other three big kids missed. Happy Easter!
We were lucky to be driving by during this gorgeous sunset! I have had mountain fever lately. Between my day job, mom life, and starting HikerKnits, it has been difficult to sneak away for some adult time. Anyone else feeling a bit overwhelmed?
Who’s excited for spring flowers? These adorable crocheted flower earring/necklace set is now available on my Etsy shop!
