~~~ My love and passion is working with yarns and fibers, principally knitting and crocheting with them. I've done this since I was a child, gifting others with my creations; and I'm finally getting adjusted to the idea of selling. I'm learning that I can still craft the things I personally like and that those with similar tastes and likes will find me! Most of the time I dislike using patterns and just work a piece according to what the particular yarn "tells" me it should become. My favorite attributes for items are simplicity and adaptability to multiple uses. Rather than using fancy stitches (which ARE fun and interesting), I most often use basic stitches and allow the yarn's beauty to do most the "talking". Additionally, I try to keep my prices reasonable by searching yarns in wholesale or close-outs to enable me to pass those savings on to you ... so that hopefully everyone can afford things that are pretty, useful and classic, and be an addition to your wardrobe for many years to come.

It's my goal to please the recipient with anything I make! It boosts my satisfaction and pleasure in making an item with the thought that another will equally enjoy it. :D Please do note that my home is not pet free. If you're sensitive this, I'd rather you not make a purchase than be disappointed.

I hope you enjoy browsing the shop, and please don't hesitate to contact me with any question you might have. Other places you can find me are: Flickr, ECrater, Zibbet, Etsy and Blogspot. Links to each of these can be found via my website, http://www.knitwithues.com If you see something you like in any of these places, contact me about making it (or something similar) for you! ~~~
