Weekend Wrap-Up ~ The endless scarf and Successful Donations



The never ending scarf!



This weekend has been slam packed full of adventure! SouthBARK's fundraiser was a success. I got my donation to them just in the nick of time for the silent auction. I am very excited to be able to support the cause.

 Also, I added several inches to the Celtic Cable Scarf. This thing is so beautiful but seems to go on forever and ever.. and ever… and ever! :) It's a very detailed pattern that has been quite time consuming but I am super pleased with the way it is turning out. I think my customer will be very happy with the final outcome.


AND I got another big order over the weekend. I can't wait to get it started for them. It's so flattering every single time someone decides to support my business and place and order! I'm so thrilled to have a new customer. They have requested:

My schedule is really starting to fill up for projects. I've gotten several inquiries about the bearded beanie as well. (this is one pattern I'm considering using but not sure yet) With working full time, it's near impossible to take the orders and build a stock for Etsy at the same time but I'm so greatful for the interest. If things continue to be so successful I will be able to jump to part time job and more time Innov8ive Knits before I thought possible.

On the personal side of life, I had 2 of my favorite people by my side at a bridal event: Weddings to Bragg About. We had a great time even though it was packed. I got a lot of good information and vendor contacts while were there as well. It's a great event but thank goodness I don't have to go again. It was so full of people I could hardly hear myself think!

That's it for this weekend's wrap-up. Look out for posts in the near future on the second segment of Inspiration spreds like wildfire on one my favorite bloggers, and another on projects I have in my crosshairs!

 

Weekend Wrap-Up ~ Wine Tasting

I've decided to start a new weekly series in my blog to keep you all in the know for specifically what is going on with the business: future projects, current projects, accomplishments, art shows I will be participating in, etc. This way you will ALWAYS be on the Inside of Innov8ive Knits.

This week for the Weekend Wrap-Up I want to talk about an organization near and dear to my heart that Innov8ive Knits will be helping out on the 28th (that's this coming Sunday)!  This organization is called SouthBARK. This is a great group of local people helping shelter dogs from becoming euthanized. I have 2 shelter dogs of my own and would have 100 more if I could handle it. They are so wonderful and I am very excited to be able to contribute to lengthening an innocent dog's life.

SouthBARK is doing a Wine Tasting next weekend to raise money to bennifit these dogs and help them survive until they are able to have a safe, permanent home. At this wine tasting there will be hors d'ouvres, silent auctions, raffles, an art show featuring local artists, and of course wine! To help contribute Innov8ive Knits will be donating a pair of precious baby booties for the silent auction.

Currently sells for $30.00

If you are in the area you should really check this out! It's a great cause and it will be full of fun things to look at, bid on, or purchase from vendors. There's a $25 fee for wine tasting and goodies for your belly. If you have a love for animals, come show your support and have a good time. Plus, if you haven't had the chance to yet hopefully you can get to meet the artist- ME!
