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.

This sun hat started off as a personal project to protect my skin against the heat of summer. I’ve never had a sun hat, but have always admired them and now that I’ve been crocheting more and more, I decided I was finally ready to tackle a sun hat. I absolutely love how it turned out, too! I used raffia yarn for this project, which is actually sustainable and biodegradable and made from wood fibers.

Are you seeing the tie dye trend circling Instagram and the fashion circuit as much as I am these days? I feel like I’m seeing even more do-it-yourself tie-dying now, too, since kids are out of school and parents are looking for fun activities to do with them. With at the back of my mind, I’ve been seriously researching dying my own yarn for awhile now, but have been too intimated to pull the trigger. So for my very first yarn dying experience I grabbed some t-shirt yarn and an all-in-one tie dye kit and got to work!

Given that June is Pride month, I really wanted to focus specifically on an LGBTQ+ organization, but I did not want to disregard the current climate and support of the Black Lives Matter movement. And upon further research and recent news stories, the number of trans women and men killed (not only by police, but by others as well) is staggering. In honor of these individuals, I feel compelled to bring their stories to light and help in any small way I can to bring justice for transgender individuals.

I’m stoked to share my latest collection with you all, finally! With being forced to be inside as a result of the pandemic, I transitioned to creating home decor and accessories that we can all use right now. And baskets were the perfect start because I we needed a few for our own home and hopefully you love them enough to incorporate into your home as well!

If you haven’t heard I started a YouTube channel earlier this year and it was a process! Honestly, the most challenging part was overcoming the fear of releasing more of myself out into the work. I’m a homebody and prefer to keep to myself for the most part, so I had to take a giant leap out of my comfort zone for this! But now I finally took the leap and started the YouTube channel and I love having another avenue to connect with others and share more about EB Knits and behind the scenes of the business.

2019 was a groundbreaking year in my knitting journey! I learned so many new aspects of the craft of knitting as well as areas of the knitting community. Last year included working with my first indie-dyed yarn, first sweater, understanding yarn weight, finding a direction for my business I’m passionate about, picking scarves back up, starting an in stock section of my shop and so much more!
Read MoreSlow knitting is about being conscious of the materials you use and where you source from. Are you supporting a local business or farm? Where is is the company you’re purchasing from getting their yarn from? Are the sheep/alpacas/other animals treated right?
