February has been so crazy! Thank goodness for the knitting club, because my knitting has been seriously sparse otherwise.

Just wanted to update with a picture of the hat I finally finished. I have had the yarn and the idea for quite a while, but I just finally got around to making it. This is Zack and me in the snow that we had 2 weeks ago. I made his hat too.
Hopefully I will have some time in March to knit a little more than I have. Only time will tell <3

Rachel's Cowl

Above is Rachel’s Cowl, and I love it! I made this for a good friend who I met in what we like to call our “marriage promotion class.” Oh and what a class that was. While I struggled through the content and the conservative, black-and-white-ness of it all, Rachel, Sarah, and Virginia kept me sane. The thing about Rachel is that she is always so put together. She wears the most wonderful outfits that exude fashion, confidence, and originality. So when she asked me to make her something, I was stoaked. Sarah helped us with an idea and then I wound up with the above piece. I took a few attempts at it trying different ideas that I had in my head. In the end my decision was to go with a chunky cable stitch. I wrote down the pattern as I went, so if you are interested, let me know. :)

I had the first meeting with what will become the Knitwits: The Official UGA Knitting Club last night. It was a wonderful group of ladies and I honestly had such a great time. I really look forward to all that we are going to try and accomplish.

But I have got a lot to try and done before this supposed snow today! (Let’s not jinx it, but that would be awesome!)
Thanks for reading! :)

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.
