What I’m watching/reading/listening to
I ran out of time and forgot to talk about these. I’ll do my best to remember next time to share because I’m currently in the middle of a book I’m loving and found a great podcast as well.
With the transition from EB Knits to Bellchase Ruby, I can enjoy knitting and my other passions for me, with no pressure to produce for anyone or anything else. And, yet, I will be able to share my love of certain small businesses, share their products in my shop. And every once in a while, I might feel the urge to offer handmade items made by me, as well!
All, well, most of, the links, references, yarns, patterns and more linked from the latest EB Knits podcast episode!
This year I'm adding purposeful and eco-friendly products from companies that I believe in into the shop and up first are a variety of bags from Eco Bags! Eco Bags prioritizes fair living and wage practices for their workers and their products are made from cotton, often organic or recycled, which aligns well with my focus on ethical and eco-friendly accessories. Eco Bags bring unique products that are environmentally-conscious. I love writing blog posts about the latest simple eco-friendly tips that I've discovered and now tested out a variety of bags, found ones I love and you can grab these plastic-free products here in the shop now!
All, well, most of, the links, references, yarns, patterns and more linked from the latest EB Knits podcast episode!

Wow, I talked a lot this episode! I’m not sure if the follow-up podcasts will be as long - it is a lot. Spoiler, the redo was just as long! And if you watched the entire episode, you’re a real trouper/EB Knits fan and THANK YOU! Please let me know what you think in regards to length, format and content; I would love to hear.
I take a look back on 2020, including my most popular posts on social media, the bestselling items in the EB Knits shop and a few special milestones. 2020 was my most successful year yet and I can’t wait to continue growing in 2021!
With the concept of the “budget“ beanie I’m able to offer winter accessories at a lower price point to hopefully reach more people who would cherish a handmade knit beanie! The “Budget” beanie is one singular style - a classic handmade beanie. It will be available in multiple sizes to again hopefully include everyone - women, men and kids! The price point of this hat is exclusive for this beanie only at this time.
It’s beanie season! Now that it’s September, the calendar has officially turned to Fall, at least on my social media feeds - not so much the temperature, but we can dream of those cool Autumn days, right? And it’s only a matter of time before the weather comes around. These are my favorite hats I’ve made to date, to be honest with you! These beanies are made with 100% luxurious wool and they look incredibly high end as well!
The Office Wrap Shawl … the most popular handmade fall accessory I’ve seen on social media all year long! Wow, this took over my Facebook feed and it is wonderful and cozy so the recognition and popularity is well deserved. My cousin was the first person to ever show me this shawl in mid-July so I quickly capitalized on its popularity, found the pattern (Perfect Pockets Shawl by Knot Yourself Out), and opened up a preorder on my website with estimations of the amount of yarn and time the wrap would take to complete.
“For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it”
“Tired of tossing thin plastic produce bags in the trash? Bring reusable ECOBAGS ultra lightweight cotton drawstring bags to the bulk and produce aisles of your favorite store or co-op and fill em up at your favorite bulk bins (beans, seeds and grains) or fresh fruits and veggies. When you get home transfer bulk items to containers and put your produce right into the vegetable crisper. Store the bag with your reusable totes for your next trip. See how easy it is to bring your purchases home and create zero-waste. The drawstring top keeps everything from falling out. You'll see these bags are also handy for organizing travel and gym stuff or even using them as eco-friendly holiday gift bags.”
If you're tired of bringing home the thin plastic veggie bags, these are for you. These Eco-Bags produce bags are made of a lightweight, natural cotton (not bleached or treated with anything) that barely weighs anything on the produce scale.”
The Textured Mug Cozy is also featured in a few of these photos, which you can find here . The string bags pictured are available here.
