Missing Socks

Sockeaters

In the past few weeks we started to have big issues with missing socks. Somehow after every single load of laundry at least one or more socks are missing. In reality I do not know the culprit, where the socks are, but just for fun, the Sockeaters resurfaced again.
Yes I have a pattern for them:

But I also have a gift away on my FB page:

All you have to do is visit the page, like the post with Sockeaters or leave a comment there and this Wednesday October 29th 2014 the winner will receive their own Sockeater, in the photo bellow he is the Suspect number 6.

There is nothing better than a Random Act of Kindness, though secretly I hope that my problem with missing socks will go away as well.

Happy October and Thank you for visiting.

Donation to our library

This is my third year that I donated knitted toys to our library for summer reading raffle. Children read, and for ever fifteen minutes they read they earn one raffle ticket. There are various prices on display each week during the summer reading program. Children can place their raffle tickets to a box next to the price and the winners are announced each week.

I wonder, which avid reader will win these knitted toys.

Thank you for visiting.

New Adventure

It probably took me few years of going back and forth in my mind. But finally, I made that leap of faith and jumped.
I have opened my Etsy store

Stana's Critters etc.

It's a work in progress. I am not sure what will happen next, but it sure will benefit everyone.
I will design more knitted patterns, the toys will hopefully find new home and I hope to have happy customers. In the process I might make some money to buy more yarn, which I would use to make more toys for the charity purposes.
Thank you for visiting.

Knitting Pattern for Sockeaters

Have you ever wondered what happens to all those missing socks?

These guys - Sockeaters are the culprit.

They are a great project to knit from a self striping sock yarn or sport to medium worst weight yarn in funky colors.

You will need less than a ball of yarn,  5 double pointed needles, two funky buttons for the eyes and a single sock (cute baby sock in complimenting colors works great).

The knitting Pattern for these cute and funky guys is available on Ravelry or could be purchased by clicking on this button.



Thank you for visiting.

Craft Fairs

When designing my little critters I tend to knit many samples. In this respect I am perfectionist, I like when my patterns are good. Some of these little critters are given away to many children that I know. Some I give to charities. Few of my critters are available at the art galleries which sell my art.

This past weekend I had an opportunity to sell my critters at a craft fair. I must say that it has been an interesting experience. This coming weekend I am attending another craft fair. It will be once again with the Tip Top Toes shop owner. I adore her baby slippers. The store can be also found on Etsy.
