2.5K Give-Away!

Well fans, we sure have come a long way together. Each and every single one of you mean the world to me. It's almost like Christmas morning when i wake up to check my page and realize that I have gained new fans. I have had some highs and lows along the way, constantly trying to compete with shops that have been around longer and have 15.000+ fans. I have recently come to the realization that i should no longer try and compete with them but rather find my own style, and make the items I love to make with quality yarn, and the other small things that make each item unique and beautiful. It is all because of you guys that i get to let my creativity flow and do what i love all the while spending time with my lil' bean who just turned 2. With that being said, I have put together a FABULOUS give-away to show you how much you mean to me. There are some wonderful vendors who are participating, please take a moment to like each one on Facebook to show your appreciation. Here they are...First up...I hope most of you know who i am...It's me:)

New designs, yarn and imminent divorce.

So, went out to the Crafty Lady.....big mistake! Everytime i go i end up spending $100.00+ Surprised that my marriage isn't over! lol. My husband says to me the other day...:wish you loved me as much as your yarn!" haha, i told him if he was soft, and colorful maybe i would, anyways here's a bit of what i picked up and i bit of what I've been working on. Hope you like it!

the boy in the tutu

Spent all day lying around! It was great i don't get to do that too often with a 1 year old in the hse...ok, well i didn't exactly "lye" around I kinda made a whole bunch of Tutus...and took a pic of my son in one...hahah he hated it! which, i guess, is a good thing. I ordered a whole buttload of thick and thin yarn too....so while my day was relaxing i still kinda had to work i guess...i can't wait to get my new stuff so i can start creating...in the meantime, i show you some pics of the new stuff i ordered...and my son in the tutu...lol And remember, if you need anything, come check me out on fb, once i reach 400 fans i will be doing a give-away...shipping included!

Thin and thin yarn

So, as you can tell from some of my work , I absolutely love to crochet with super bulky, handspun wool. Merino is my fave, I found a great lil shop on etsy that i am completely obsessed with. The colors and saturation of their beautiful yarn is like no other. Unfortunately, they are almost always sold out. You almost have to check everyday to see if they have new stuff before it's sold out. I keep thinking how i might save a buttload of cash if i learn how to spin myself....any ideas????? I'm not really sure where or how to start. It might be more work than it's worth, and i will just continue to support this lil outta the way store with beautiful product:)While your checking them out, check me out on etsy, i will post both links below, let me know what everyone thinks:) i love feedback.

Some people ask...why Bean's Knots and Whatnots? My husband actually came up with the name, because that is what we call our son, and the whole knots thing is pretty self explanatory..lol, I've been trying to break into the business of crochet photo props and let me tell you, it is not easy. There are thousands of sites just like mine all with different things to offer. why Bean's Knots you say..because the prices are fantastic and you can't beat the quality! I use merino for most of my projects or super soft worsted. Each item is handmade..by me..i think i can definitely help you with your photography prop needs. I hope you will take a minute to check me out! I appreciate all the support. I also have items that aren't photo related just for everyday kiddies:)http://beansknotsandwhatnots.bigcartel.com
