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
