I have about a million knitted wash cloths but am trying to think of the best way to post them on etsy. They are knitted on size 6 needles so they are nice and tight but still super soft. about 6 inches square (give or take).

if anyone is interested I am asking (postage included)
$4 for 1
$7 for 2
$9 for 3
$10.50 for 4
$2 for each additional one after 4

I will take some picks some day but right now I have two in "latte" (light brown and white), a rainbow, 2 white, lavender, lavender/yellow/white, royal blue, "minnesota lake" (blue lavender and green) one right now but enough yarn for 3 more,

I have a bunch of yarn ear marked for these
pink and white (enough yarn for 4),
"candy dish" (pink, lime, yellow and orange) I have enough yarn for 4. f
chocolate mint (light brown, mint, white)
white
latte
sherbet (orange, pink, yellow)
and some more misc. colors that coordinate with these.
or the ones not knitted yet I can get crazy and whip them out in a day or two.

NEW STUFF!!!

First we have adopted ourselves a fine little puppy named Lucy. We got her at the Humane Society and cannot say enough good things about our far above average in every way animal shelter. Nor can we do enough to help.

But here is what we are starting with . . . Twisted Puppy dog toys.



This is a very special dog toy. want to know why?

Because we recently got a puppy from the humane society. Our humane society seems to be above average in every way. we not only fell in love with the dogs but with the staff and were eager to become volunteers. unfortunately I am the only person old enough. But that is not enough to stop me!

For my 7 year olds birthday party she decided she wanted to have a dog themed party at the humane society. we compromised and will have it at our house and the kids will be making dog and cat toys, dog treats, and kennel blankets for the dogs and cats.

So we had to come up with a dog toy for them to make.

It was hard to concentrate though because my puppy Lucy kept chewing on everything and tugging on everything. Then out of nowhere inspiration struck. Then we realized PetSmart already had this design on the market. Oh well, at least we know it was a good idea. and ours is way cheaper.

made from 100% recycled materials this is a dog tested, kid tested, made by my kids (little girls ages 11, 7 and 5) perfect dog toy.

BUT WAIT!

it gets better. for every toy sold we will donate $3 cash, a matching toy and a bag of treats to the humane society in your name.

Want one for free! Send us 300 pounds worth of Purina weight circles (proof of purchase) from the bottom of your Purina dog food bags plus $2 for shipping and we will pass them on to the humane society. our humane society redeems these for everything from food to office supplies.

I have an unlimited supply of these and colors and size vary. Let me know if you want one with pink or want to avoid pink (remember these were made by a bunch of little girls) and let me know what size dog you have so i can try to find the perfect one.

These are currently being sold in my shop for $7.50. and before you balk at the price remember the proceeds go to a good cause.




Nest item up for bids is our new T-shirt bags. Many states are starting to charge a $.15 tax on plastic and paper bags. i think this rocks from an environmental perspective. I say why wait until you are forced though. I know reusable bags can be expensive though. So I offer you this:

Simple and inexpensive! Funky and fun! Each four pack includes various colors and sizes.

Shipped parcel post.

Holds a ton of stuff. you are only limited by your ability to carry it. bottom seam is double sewn for added strength.

I was able to fit a gallon of milk, a half gallon of juice, 2 20oz water bottles, a large box of cereal, a large bag of pretzels and 3 cans of soup (I could have fit more but thats all that was in my pantry. sad.)

t-shirt colors and prints vary by availability. There will never been any profanity or questionable graphics. If you have a preference between the ones in the first or second picture just let me know or if you want a specific color let me know. There may be an small additional charge for specific colors depending on t-short availability at the second hand store where I get my shirts. convo me for details.

these are currently being sold for $8 for a 4 pack of bags. You can't go wrong.





And my favorite product ever . . . .

This is one amazing bag!!!

Knitted from 100% cotton yarn it is super sturdy, washes easily and dries fast. It packs small but can stretch to amazing proportions.

How much can it carry?

* groceries - I fit 2 quarts of milk, 2 quarts of juice, liter of water and a 20 ounce bottle of pop. a box of mashed potatoes, a jar of peanut butter and 4 cans of soup.
* at the pool- 2 towels, snacks and drinks, pool toys and two swimsuits.
* hang it on a hook for a creative laundry hamper in your child's room. the mesh design provides for lots of air flow to keep the clothes from stinking.
* overdue library books - about 20!

How big is it?

this one is about 15"x9" unstretched. Stretched? that just depends. This is in a beautiful soothing color that reminds me of a Minnesota lake, blues and greens and lavenders weave in and out of one another like ripples in the water. Short handles for easy carrying.


Like the bag but want a specific color? Let me know. I can make it in about a week. Some yarns require an additional charge.

These are currently being sold for $16.50. If you want to buy yarn somewhere else i can knit it into a bag for $10. i recommend yarn from www.soulfulhues.etsy.com regardless of where you get it I need 200 yards of yarn (give or take) in worsted (give or take) weight. Cotton is preferable but i suppose anything will work.
