Did Someone Say Fudge?

I made this for the family last week and it was such a huge hit. I don't think there could ever be too much of this to go around. I found this recipe in one of my Mother's filing cabinets and it brought back great memories. It was always a wonderful treat. Staying true to the recipe it was as delicious and addicting as I could remember.

Weave in ends.

I'm almost finished with the first pattern of a new collection I've been working on. It's too adorable for words and I can't wait to show you. Trying to balance home and creativity is difficult sometimes but lately I've had a lot of help and I couldn't be more grateful.

The Flower Cloths...

I'm so glad to finally have these up on here! I have honestly been working on them since before we moved but so much was pushed aside while we settled into our new home. I've been a busy bee lately and devoting every evening to nothing but knitting and pattern writing. I'm also working on re-doing the website to make it more organized and knit oriented.


This pattern is available as a PDF download and priced at $3.25. There are eight cloth patterns in this set. You can purchase this pattern if you are a Ravelry member by clicking the "Buy Now" button below the pictures. The Flower Cloths are also available in my Pattern Store here as a Ravelry Download. There are 5 pages total and the download is sized at 5MB. If you have any questions about the pattern or payment options, please feel free to contact me via email at kris@krisknits.com or on Ravelry: KristenKnits.

Kitten's and Cloth's...

We adopted two beautiful male kittens this month and they've made our family so happy. They have such wonderful personalities and although they aren't brothers you would never know it by the way they play and cuddle up next to each other. Already getting into my very visible yarn stash around the house I've had to resort to putting everything back into the plastic bins I moved in with.


Victor and Ella named our brown tabby "Baby Jaguar" after their favorite cartoon and I named our fluffy gray kitten "Gabriel" because he is as sweet as an angel.

I've been working on getting the Flower Set of cloths ready to publish by Monday so that's where my free time has been going this week. Here's a preview of the colors I chose.
