Get cozy!

It's getting colder outside so it's time to get out winter coats & gloves & scarves! I learned to knit right after Thanksgiving 2005 so I could make my aunt a Gryffindor scarf for Christmas. She was the one who gave me the first two Harry Potter books and I thought a long burgundy and gold scarf would be just the thing. It was the first thing I knit, other than my practice piece, and ended up being 11 feet long.

I have been knitting ever since and opened my own little Etsy shop, LadyJaneDarcy's Cozy Handknits, about two years ago. In celebration of our new blog I thought I would share a link and some discounts with anyone who stumbles upon us!

Use:

• CATHSISTERSFS for free shipping
• CATHSISTERS15 for 15% off any order
• CATHSISTERS25 for 25% off a minimum purchase of $20.00
• CATHSISTERS10 for $10.00 off a minimum purchase of $30.00

Being cozy is one of my favorite things on earth (hot tea & blankies & a good book---if only I had a fireplace!) and I love making others feel cozy, too. In case you can't tell, I really love knitting cowls! If you have an idea for one or what anything in a different color send me a message on Etsy and we will see what I can do.

Do you knit or crochet? What do you like to make?
