Gingees

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:50:21 -0500

$15.00
Although these gingerbread pals are BFF, they would like to meet you and can bear to be separated - as long as you give them lots of TLC and attention.

Each Gingee is one-of-a-kind. You can specify which scarf color you prefer. Gingees are stuffed with exactly 2 plastic grocery bags (go green, gingees!) and ornamented with at least 1 vintage/antique button from Grandma Gingee's button box.

Do you want to give a Gingee to a very small baby or to an animal? Let me know so I can babyproof/puppyproof your Gingee.

**Two Gingees for $20!

Wrap your precious angel in a heavenly cloud!

If you would rather not know how the magic happens, then skip the next paragraph…
I began this blanket with a crocheted chain-stitch loop, then used straight needles to knit around the center, incorporating eleven yarn-overs to obtain the lace effect. As the project grew I switched to flexible circular needles, ending at last with special-ordered 60” long circular needles.

What a breathtaking shower gift this would make for your godchild, niece or nephew. Knit with TLC from 3 delicate strands of white, machine-washable boucle.

Maple Leaf Knitting Kit

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:28:07 -0500

$2.00
My cafe in Maplewood, NJ has a lovely maple tree painted on the wall. But it needs to be populated with leaves! That's how we came up with the idea of the Maple Leaf Knit Kit. Only $2 gets you the pattern and enough yarn to make 1 leaf. Make one for yourself and send one to the cafe, if you'd like! You can dedicate your leaf to someone special in your life. These make adorable stocking stuffers and package tags. They are easy to whip up in one sitting and only require basic knitting skills.

No snakes were harmed in the crocheting of this scarf.

It's even softer than it looks. And completely machine-washable. I combined a peachy-pink lace-weight acrylic with a brushed, fuzzy, worsted neutral to acheive a muted, tweedy look. (adjectives, anyone?)

A classic design: roll-top collar, ribbing at the sleeves and waist, and high-quality finishing. All for an unbelievable, Valentine's-Day price. Snatch it up while you can.

Fits misses size S-M.

Soft Serve Ice Cream

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:24:56 -0500

$25.00
When you eat Neapolitan ice cream, you are not the kind of girl who eats the flavors one at a time. You stir them together, dreamily, until they are a sea awash in chocolate and strawberry.
The Soft Serve Ice Cream hat is 100% wool, but soft as can be. It will keep you warm on a cold winter's night. A dollop of fresh yarn securely adorns the top.

Hand wash.

"Oh, mommy," said my son when I modeled this hat for him. "You look like an artist."
Our model Katie takes the beat to the street in the Blue Ice Beret, a fabulously thick and cozy yet very chic toque. The top is crocheted into a wonderful floppy blue pancake. The brim is a knitted rib.

The Blue Ice Beret measures 11" in diameter. It is a size small and will fit securely on a 21" noggin.

Made with love from 100% wool.
People will stop you on the street and say, "WHERE did you get that hat?"
Just smile and say, "thespinninghand."

Vegetable Garden

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:50:01 -0400

$15.00
This is one of my first designs, from when I was still mainly a cross-stitcher and had just begun to discover the possibilities of knitting. A good, strong yarn in garter stitch lends itself well to embroidery, especially in earthy tones of Paternayan wool. A young lady might decide to use this bag as a carrying case for Peter Rabbit or the Velveteen Rabbit. It’s also fresh enough for those of us who are a wee bit older than that.
