If ever it is football season, it is NOW! I don't mind - enjoy pro football - college football is okay - knit thru all of the games. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Superbowl!

Cindy and I got all the Christmas decor at the shop taken down and put away! We both like twinkly lights in the shop, so we must get clear ones for every day (maybe a few red ones for Valentine's Day). We have been searching out Valentine/Hearts knitting and crochet patterns on Ravelry. We have found some cute ones. A few may become classes, especially the crocheted ones. We will probably post a few on iPurl's Facebook page for everyone to see!

Cindy found Louie the Lovebot by Rebecca Danger. We LOVE her patterns - not only super cute but well-written! We thought he would look fabulous in our Valentine window display, so I brought home red and pink yarn to get him knitted over the weekend! Having knit an arm this morning early, I realized we are going to have a Louise Lovebot! Everything about the way it's turning out screams Girly! So cute! You will have to be sure and look for Louise when you come into the shop. (I am knitting Louise in Ella rae wool as she will always be a shop display). We will be stocking safety eyes to make getting everything you need to knit a DangerCrafts pattern easy!

I finished the baby sleep sack I started right after Christmas. Super easy and fun. I need to knit a matching hat and baby socks. Just taking a little break for some shop knitting! I will post pics as a set when I get them done. Next up will be a baby blanket, making sure I have enough time to get it finished before bay arrives! After the blanket, possibly another sleep sack and lots more socks!

Hoping you are having a great Sunday!
