What a Hoot!

Hello new friends and welcome to my "knotty" blog!

My name is Nikki (I think most of you already know that,) and I've been knitting and crocheting for about a year now.  I taught myself to knit first, but then a neighbor turned me onto crochet, so I've poured a lot more energy (and time) perfecting that specific skill.  I just love making adorable items for friends and family! 

So, about a month ago I made the sweetest newborn set for a friend of mine.  A little bonnet and bootie set.  Now, I have a three year old son, so those of you who are mothers will probably get what I'm about to say.  I have baby fever!  I have for about a good year or two, but we just aren't quite ready to expand the brood yet.  But, let me tell you... making that newborn set made me want to keep going!  Just holding those tiny little hats and booties in my hands ALMOST makes the baby fever subside for more than a few minutes. 

 

When I discovered how much I enjoy making newborn creations, I became addicted and found the cutest owl hat pattern at http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2012/04/crochet-owl-hat-pattern.html.  I whipped it up, posted it on Facebook and within an hour, it was sold (and the little baby it was going to was born the next day!)  After that, the orders started rolling in, so for the past few weeks, I've been crocheting like crazy and have actually made some money! 

That brings me here.  I made myself a Knotty Niknak's Facebook page yesterday and created this blog today to get the word out and keep you all updated on my creations!  Thanks for stopping by and please don't hesitate to make requests... I love making new items!
