I did it!!

Last week I received an email from a customer asking me if I could do a custom mermaid set order for her. She had a picture of what she wanted & sent it along. When I looked at it I noticed that it was clearly crochet. I know absolutely nothing about crochet except that it is not knitting! So I responded back and told her that it was crochet and I didn't know how to crochet; I only knit. She responded again asking if I could still make the crochet mermaid in knitting. A challenge!! I must admit, at first the thought scared me because of course I didn't a pattern to follow. I had been challenged told her I would definitely try to make one similar for her if that's what she wanted. I really surprised myself. I did the whole thing free handed off my knitting experience. I must admit it turned out better than I thought it would. So I thought I would share the inspiration crochet picture & finished knitted mermaid set picture to see what you think? Which one do you like better? Let me know!

Simply Knitted Together

Hi everyone, I guess I'll start by introducing myself. I'm Rachel and I started my etsy shop a few months ago. Simply Knitted Together My mom taught me how to knit several years ago when I was a teenager. My first project was a scarf and I have to laugh now when I think back on how it turned out. It was not at all straight! I wasn't very fond of knitting at the time. A little while later mom showed me how to make a knitted dishcloth. It went much better and that's when I got hooked. Since then I've made quite a few dishcloths for family & friends. I was born & raised in Canada. I moved to the United States after I married my sweetheart 5 years ago. I discovered the world of baby knits when I found out my sister-in-law was expecting. I truly enjoy seeing what I've created with a couple of knitting needles. Although I have made a few bigger projects like blankets, I love how the smaller projects can be completed in an evening or two. I'm offering We Be Talented readers 10% off with code WBELLER.
