| Party! |
Hi, I’m Karen
and I’m participating in the very first ‘Grow your Blog’ party that begins
today. Vicki from Two Bags Full is
our host. She has been one busy
lady putting this all together. Thank you
Vicki! What a great way to visit like minded bloggers and get to know a bit
about them. Hop on over to her
site and see all the links to those of us that have signed up for this special event.
A bit about
me. Well, as my blog name,
Knitalatte, implies I’m all about the craft of knitting. I spend much of my
free time with needles and yarn.
Honestly, I just can’t seem to get enough of this enjoyable
pursuit. I’ve always got a project
or two in the works. I started blogging about knitting
after I’d wandered around blog land and visited other knitters who shared this
same passion. Exploring blogs out
there is so much fun and I’ve met some amazing people because of it.
If you are a knitting enthusiast
and want to see what I’m up to, stop on by anytime and leave a comment and I’ll
stop on by your blog to do the same. Or send me an e-mail; kace520atyahoodotcom.
Well it wouldn’t be much of a
party with out goodies, so I’ve having a giveaway…
I’ve knitted up
this little hat in my favorite yarn, Madelinetosh and it will be sent to the winner. All you need to do is leave a comment to enter. Good Luck and thanks for
visiting Knitalatte!
Was a cosy, wooly place... I love to be here! Following you for a little while now and found you on Vickis DYB Party! :-) Thank you for this really nice blog <3
ReplyDeletewarmest regards from Germany...

Your blog is lovely and your knitting and crocheting projects are beautiful. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely creations! That hat is gorgeous. I have not tried making a hat, but I would like to. So nice to meet you here through the Grow Your Blog party. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am a fairly recent follower but your blog makes me happy to read and look at! Love to see what your most recent creation is! ~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteThat hat is lovely! Knitting is been on my bucket list. I tried once when I was in grad school and enjoyed it but never gave it enough time to get good. You have officially inspired me to try again.
ReplyDeleteHappy to meet you via the Blog Party!

Wow, Karen, your knitting looks lovely! Your Hitchhiker reminds me of something, but I can't out my finger on it...maybe an illustrated children's story that featured white cupcakes with pale pink icing...something just at the edge of my memory. Something nice, anyway! And I scrolled through a couple of posts til I gasped at the sight of your yarn basket...great colors! How could I not follow a blog with such great knitting and yarn??
ReplyDeleteI also loved the picture of you and your husband. You two look so happy it made me smile, too :)
Beautiful blog Karen. Great photos! Nice to meet you via the GYB party.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful knitting and images you have! Gorgeous hat! I love hand knitted items, and the beautiful wool/yarns you can get is amazing and beautiful. I used to knit quite a bit, but don't often anymore, although my teenage daughter decided to do some knitting last week, after years of not knitting. I love watching her knit. I enjoyed visiting your blog, and thanks for visiting mine.
ReplyDeleteHello Karen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to meet like minded women. So glad that Vicki "Grow Your Blog"has gone to such an effort to showcase so many blogs. Creative and generous...Your blog is very creative and inspiring, what a great header
Happiness and Joy

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI love knitting too but I wish I could perfect it the way I have with my crochet. So I stay inspired by all the lovely knitting blogs. ♥
So nice to meet you! I want to thank you for visiting with me and for leaving a comment. I have my giveaway details posted now if you'd like to take a peek. I don't think I had it posted when you visited me. Your comment already has you entered for it.
Have a wonderful day,
Steph ♥

Hello Karen! Love your blog, although I'm not a knitter and would be knitting Dutch Cheese Scarfs all over the place if I tried (childhood nightmares with yarn everywhere but on the needles...). Love the way you photograph as well. Your hat is so gorgeous and cute that I'd like to give it a try in this give away. New follower to your blog!
ReplyDeleteHugs and thank you for visiting me,
Wendy of Apple & Apricot
I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BLOG AND THIS HAT!
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice blog. Your knitting looks great.I will come by again.
ReplyDeleteMagdalena
Hi there and thanks for visiting my blog via the GYBP. I knit but not as regularly as you do. However,when I finish my current free range knitting scarf, I'm thinking of making a pink scarf for Vicki's Pink Scarf Project. In the meantime, I'll keep watching your projects on the blog. And if I'm lucky enough to win the free drawing, I'd really like the pattern for the hat to give to a friend. He has a hat that is wearing out and wants to knit a new one.

Your little hat is gorgeous! Knitting is one of those things that I've attempted...several times...but just felt like I was 6 fingers short. I've decided to stick with my fabric art and mixed media and enjoy the knitting of people like you, who are SO GOOD at it!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to meet you. Your blog is lovely and you are very crafty with your knitting. Something I never learned how to do. I'm still making my way through visiting everyone from Vicki's Grow Your Blog party. I hope you will stop by to say hello.
Hello
ReplyDeleteI bet knitting is an addictive craft, especially when you can turn out the lovely products you have! I'm a life-long beginner, sorry to say.
My daughter and DIL are both talented knitter so I run to them when I want something knit.
Hello
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice comment on my blog about my cap that I'm giving away. Turns out, green is one of the colors that looks great on me, so it would be awesome to win your lovely cap!!
Nice blog, I am now a follower and looking forward to coming back.

ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Nice to meet you, this GYB is a lot of fun!
Your knitting is beautiful!! Linda
Just popped over from Vicki's party for a visit. I love your blog name and banner! And, you have so many great, yarny projects. I love your hats, mitts and your Ipad cover. Fun! I love yarny things too...crochet, knit, weaving, spinning, needle felting...let's just say that it's rare that I find a craft that I don't like. Your blog is so fun to look at and inspiring. I'm about to become one of your newest followers.
ReplyDeletelove the name of your blog...cute! your header photos are cute too. visiting via Vicki's GYB Party, enjoying your blog.

It's me again Karen!
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask - can you tell me where I can get that pattern for the beautiful knitted/ or is it crocheted bag on the right side of your header.
I would love to make one like that too!
Hugs
Shane ♥
Hi Karen, nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteYou've done some beautiful knitting, I love the variegated pink scarf
Hello Karen, your blog header is so inspiring with all those yummy yarns and colors. I am a very basic knitter myself - scarves, socks, and at the moment I knit for my daughter's dolls. However, a yarn shop is a very dangerous place for me, I love yarn and all the beautiful colors, oh my!! I guess if I would take the time I probably could knit way more than just what I do, but it really is a lack of time since I also enjoy so many other things, But I will follow you here, I'm pretty sure I can find some more inspiration here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway! Your blog is a feast for the eye - just beautiful! Thank you for visiting me!
ReplyDeleteHello! I had to drop by after you were so sweet to not only drop by BUT become a follower! I so appreciate both!! And I feel that the gesture needed to be returned because that is what we bloggers do... support one another! Besides, I have knitted since 6th grade and have always enjoyed the rhythm of the needles and yarn silently working away. However, I have stopped within the past year as my arthritis is acting up in my thumb. It doesn't help that I hold both very tightly! Loved the joy in your blog... the colors in your banner are delightful!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog. I'm so glad you stopped over to see mine. Your visit let me know that you're here so over I came. I love to knit as well and as soon as I post this comment, I'll be your newest follower. I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Oh! Yes! Please enter me in your giveaway. I would love the hat. Love the colors in it. Thank you for the opportunity.

Another yarn enthusiast, lovely to meet you, thanks for visiting my blog, looking forward to seeing more of your creations soon
ReplyDeleteI love your knitting creations. I knit all the time when my kids were younger - knitting away during soccer, basketball, softball, tennis practices. I stopped for a few years (arthritis), but picked it back up a few years ago and it doesn't bother my hands. I mostly make baby sweaters. My kids get nervous thinking I am pushing them to have kids, but since neither is married, we are in no rush. It just seems like all my friends are becoming grannies and my colleagues are having babies.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing more of your projects.
What a gorgeous hat, Karen, and a beautiful blog - I have already followed. Please stop by if you haven't already and sign up for my giveaway (it's a knitted cowl in part). (I'm tardy because my motherboard died and went to the grave!) But, I have a replacement now! Hugs from Alaska. Karen

What a lovely hat. I love madeline tosh yarn. As a knitter, quilter, and crafter, I look forward to more post.
