Introducing you to - Knitux

Hi There.....Are you a fan of knits?

They are warm and cozy don't you think so?

I did a search on Wikipedia to find out how far knitting goes back 😉 It seems the oldest knitted artifacts are socks from Egypt. They were from the 11th Century. They are a very fine gauge, done with a complex colorwork and some have a short row heel. The complexity of these knits suggests that knitting is even older than this archeological find.

But let me introduce you today to Knitux 😃

The shop owner, Martha is a photographer, graphic designer, and illustrator from Latvia. She has been interested in knitting and crocheting ever since she was a little child. Like most of us knitters (I do also knit occasionally 😄), she was taught by her mother and grandmother. But later on, she also took craft lessons in school.

She makes knit and crochet beanies, berets, shawls, and scarfs. It is good to know that she works with natural materials such as wool, alpaca fiber, linen, and silk. But they are sometimes blended with small amounts of high-quality artificial fibers to make the yarn stronger and perfect for daily use.

She lives in a small village called Asune, that is located in Latgale. This region is famous for his blue lakes and strong craft traditions. Some people there still use horse carts as transport.

That is quite astonishing, don't you think so 😲

But let me show you some of her beautiful creations 😊

Seadbeady's Finds on Etsy - Scarfs

Today I wanted to show you some more of all the wonderful handmade things you can find on Etsy. 

Ok you can have a guess on what my feature item is this time.

It is a part of an outfit. Both women and men wear them.
They can be long or short. You have them in silk, wool or cashmere.
Nooo not socks - have you ever worn silk socks ? I don't think so 😏

Ah you got it indeed scarfs. Or you could have read the title maybe 😕

Scarfs can be tied in many ways including for example the pussy-cat bow (tied under your skin), the square knot (decorative knot that forms a square shape), the cowboy bib (surely everyone knows what cowboys wear), the ascot knot (a mans neckband with wide pointed wings), the loop (has no ends), the necktie (something that makes men uncomfortable lol), and the gypsy kerchief (Gypsy women head scarf).

In Ancient Rome a scarf was mostly worn by men and used to wipe the sweat from the neck and face in hot weather.
The scarf became a real fashion accessory by the early 19th century for both men and women. By the middle of the 20th century, scarves became one of the most essential and versatile clothing accessories.

I have lots of scarves in my closet in many different colors. They make such a wonderful addition to your outfit. And in winter time they are so warm and cosy. And most important if you gain or lose a few pounds. No reason to worry the scarf will still fit.

Here are some of the examples I found.

Did you know that handcrafted products are green. Handmade work takes less energy than a mass production assembly line, which makes it better for our environment.

Hope you enjoyed.......Be back tomorrow.......

Have a lovely day
