Welcome to Casey's Creations!


So for years I have said that I wanted to have some sort of record of all that I have knitted/sewed/created, but I never sat down and made it happen. So here I am trying to do just that. There are tons of things that I have made in the past that will never be on here, but you have to start somewhere, right?

This is probably going to wind up being the typical crafter's blog. I will show off my creations as I finish them and explain what my thought process was as I was creating them. I also want it to be a sort of advertisement for my pieces-- the type of work that I do, and what you would be supporting if you were ever to buy something that I have made. But more than anything, I just needed a place to start, a place to build up from.

I knit a lot, I have gotten back into sewing recently. In the past, most of my work has been for family, friends, and donation. However, by this fall I plan on entering a few craft sales. I have never taken this leap before, but I feel like it is about time. So I will be working up a stock of items to sell this fall for those. If all goes according to plan, you will begin to see some of those pieces before too terribly long.

But enough rambling. Hopefully this gives you an idea of who I am, and of some of the things you should see coming up soon. The picture I included in this post is of a blanket that I finished a few months ago. I made it for myself out of a bunch of scrap yarn that I had. It is incredibly warm and probably one of my favorite things I have made.
