Handmade Adventures in Pigeon Forge, TN

 The only store my items are being sold in is Handmade Adventures in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  The hats and purses are shown here together, but they do not have to be purchased as a set.

 They have an ever changing selection of my hand knit, felted and needled felted items.

 Their inventory is constantly changing because all needle felt items are truly "One of a Kind".  The needle felt designs are applied by hand after I knit and felt the item.  I do look at photographs as I needle felt, but there are no patterns.  The needle felt process consist of 'pulling' roving and actually applying the roving with a single barbed needle.  This is a very time consuming process, even when the design appears to be simple.

 They also offer a variety of my felted bowls.  These are used as home decorations.

And they have several pairs of the fingerless gloves I have designed.  There are 3 different lace designs, all knit with different yarns. 

They also carry a limited supply of my original photograph greeting cards.

If you are in the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee area please check them out.  They are located in the Old Mill Village.  This Saturday (September 22, 2012) there will be all kinds of activity going on because it is the 9th Annual Old Mill Heritage Day.  I will be demonstrating needle felting at the festival.

3 different Lace Gloves

The first gloves are knit with 'Alpaca Sox',
I love the feel of this yarn, and the color.
This pair is the first lace pattern I ever designed,
but not the first pair I knit by the pattern. The black pair is knit by the same pattern
but I shortened it at the knuckles.
Still gave it the same finished edge thumb.
The last photo is also my own design,
but I probably won't sell this pattern.
I consider the actual pattern a work in progress,
although the gloves did turn out fine.
I named this pattern "Exa Elizabeth" after
my Granny Sorrells. This pair of gloves
is knit with Berrocco's Alpaca Ultra Fine.
Which is the same yarn I used for my first
Moebius Cowl pattern (several post below).

My new knit designs

I have been designing this summer, while at home getting the repairs completed from all the damage caused during the storms 4/27/11.
Audrey modeling her suntop and then her sundress. The sundress pattern is with a test knitter right now in hopes of selling this pattern.

I have also been designing lace gloves. The teal pair has a ruffle at the cuff.
Not sure I am going to publish this pattern, but it is also
with a test knitter right now.

The cream colored lace gloves, is a different pattern.
The stitch is called drooping dayflower, which instantly caught my eye.
I took the drooping dayflower stitch and designed a glove around it.
This pattern has already been with the test knitter,
and the pattern has been added to Ravelry for purchase.
And I sold my first pattern within 24 hours.
