Wait - these aren't knitting items - that's because we are adding a holiday section for shopping.

Yes, it's a sale too,  at Knitting Lagniappe = and for the holidays we have added some "non-knitting" items for gifts and holiday specials. So come visit our site - www.knittinglagniappe.com  . You will find some special items  and with your purchase comes a free gift!!! Yes, a free gift - a bag of our special scented stones. We will also include either a handcrafted button, a handpainted notecard or one of our own patterns for your knitting fun.

If you are a knitter, crocheter or just a shopper - there's sure to be something fun for yourself or for a unique and fun gift. Remember that all of our handthrown stoneware items are dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. 

If you see any item you like but would like it in another glaze color that you see anywhere on our site, please let me know in the comment section and we can do that for you.

Our Knitting Lagnaippe site is www.knittinglagniappe.com . Here is a picture of some of the products we carry there:


These are some of the yarn carousels and yarn bowls. We also have patterns, buttons, cups, scented stones, and more.                                 It's been fun setting up the website and we've been really lucky to have several national magazines pick up some of our products for review. Knitting Today featured one of our carousels in the Aug/Sept issue and in the Jan/Feb issue of another magazine (can't say yet til it comes out) but you will see another one of products featured.
Misty is working on getting her jewelry for knitters and crocheters on the site along with her beautiful shawl pins. They have been very popular at the Fiber Fests and at Yarntopia here in Katy.

Well....... Oct surprise

Yep, October ended with a big surprise. Instead of heading off to Boerne, Tx for the big Kid-n-Ewe Fiber Fest, I was in the emergency room having a 5 hour surgery for a ruptured colon. So life has taken a dramatic change. I'll be heading back to surgery in a couple of months to put me all back together. Thank goodness for modern medicine. So, no more shows for awhile, no more pottery for awhile, no more running around like a crazy woman (well, the crazy part  and the woman part will never leave) but not together for awhile.
Instead, I'll be in my easy chair knitting, designing , writing and plotting. I'll be playing with the new ceramic spindles I made. I kinda like them.... Will have to put in a picture later.

Also, I'll be busy catching up on paperwork (YUCK), organizing (bleah!) and things like that. Learning to let go has been hard, a few tears, a few down moments, but I remember that the Good Lord saved me for something, so I will be stronger in the long run.

So now, my mind gets to wander, dream new dreams, plan new projects and look forward to the day when I get back into my mud and fire in the studio.

My body and mind will never be the same - but guess that's what life is all about. I have an awesome family and group of friends that  have surrounded me with love and support - what greater October gift could I have :)
