I think the single best thing about creating knits, big or small, is that you can just let all your creative juices flow. It's like drawing, painting or sculpting.
My DIY line blossomed when a woman came to me asking if I can help her with a scarf she wanted to make for her boyfriend for Valentine's Day! So sweet, if you ask me. = )

| Boo from Super Mario Bros. |
She wanted to feature the character, Boo, from Super Mario in a blue or black colour scheme. I was shocked by the level of trust she had in me for all the materials and patterning - this is one of the most exciting projects I've done to date.

After a few tweaks here & there, she was finished with the body of the scarf in just a few days! I custom knitted up a tongue for her and attached it. I've just been asked to upgrade the character to King Boo - so, here is also a picture of a little crown accessory!
