The new run of stylus' and pens are starting to appear, in the shop and more are in the works.  I'm really excited about the new roller ball pen that is coming in 2 weeks.

In crochet news keep an eye out for turkey coasters coming just in time for Thanksgiving.  Also a new women's football hat is coming for you ladies that love the pigskin.  The new baby pumpkin hat with cocoon is up in the shop be sure to check it out.  The newest items in the works are handmade rope rugs look for them in time for the spring season.

New Stylus sizes!!

Well another week and lots of new and exciting things happening and being created.  If you are a fan of our stylus but think it's a little to big or to small then fear not. Arriving at the shop in the next day or so, we have 2 new sizes.  Our new stylus' come in 3 finishes; chrome, gold, or gun metal. 

 As always they feature the natural or dyed wood of your liking or any of our almost endless supply of acrylics.  The new long stylus measures almost 5 inches long and features a handy pocket clip and replaceable tip.  Our new shorter "stubby" stylus has all the same features and amenities as the original but at about half the length.  Also we're switching the original stylus to the new replaceable tip as well so you never have to worry again, see the site later this week for more details.

Elizabeth is gearing up for the craft fair in November as well as rolling out all those fall and winter styles we know and love.  Stay tuned for more great things from her and what she's cooking up.  Do I smell new scarves coming??

Pastel Ripple Blanket

I sent out another of my Pastel Ripple Blanket last week. I must say I really love this blanket. Not only is it so sweet but it is supper soft. This blanket is both warm yet very light. I also love the versatility of being able to use it to cover a delicate little new addition in his or her crib or over a car seat. As a mom i never wanted a blanket that was to heavy but I wanted it soft and warm. I am thrilled that is exactly how this blanket turned out. This blanket also turned out to be the perfect lapghan. Whether for a wheel chair or on the couch watching tv or watching the sun rise with a warm cup of tea this blanket fits your every need. 

I am looking forward to my next project with this style and yarn. I will be creating a car seat blanket with holes for the seat belt. Check back and see how it turns out.

Newest Project

I was contacted Monday by someone I went to high school with and asked if make baby blankets. As you guys know I do even though it is quite a labor of love. This one is going to be about 48 hrs of work. I sent her photos of two of the styles I make. She loved them and ordered one for her newest addition that is on her way soon. After going back and forth we decided on a pattern and colors. Here are photos of the beginning of it. I will post more photos once it is complete.

Update: Ok I promised to add more photos once it was done at long last here they are...

Loose Caboose

This week in the mail I received an invitation to be an exhibitor at the 23rd annual loose caboose festival. this came is quite a surprise & is very exciting I'm looking forward to my very first exhibition of my items. I have updated most of my photos of my current items. Now I will be  focusing on creating new items to increase my inventory. As I get these done I will try to get some of the photos up for everyone.

Ripple Baby Afghan

I just finished updating the photos of this Ripple Afghan this morning. I wish I had known more about lighting when I first started. I still have so much to learn but I think this picture shows the blanket rather well.

This is my second baby afghan. For this one I chose the ripple stitch with a variegated yarn. It is super soft and sweet. This is the perfect gift for a new addition to the family. I have this and many other items available at SteelnStitches. I take custom orders so please feel free to contact me either here or on Etsy

Getting Started

Hi everyone my name is Elizabeth & I am co owner of SteelnStitches . We opened our shop in Nov of 2011 and specialize in handmade crochet hats, gloves, scarves, slippers, & blankets as well as restoring antique straight razors.

I am currently in the process of updating our shop photos & details. I had no idea how much I needed to learn about lighting in order to sell online. In order to have accurate color & see details in crochet items you really need to understand  lighting & have a good area to set up in.

Alittle bit about me. I began crocheting as a teenager but didn't fall in love with it until I was on bed rest during one of my pregnancies. For me crocheting is a therapeutic labor of love. Every item I make has time, patients, & thought put into it.

I am currently working on a beautiful warm baby blanket in ivory. I'm almost halfway through and can't wait. I look forward to showing it off to you all when I'm finished.
