Well I did kind of jump from scarves and wristbands, skipping over socks and hats, and go to straight knitting a sweater. There was some knitting in between though, but it was for gifts, so it was a secret! Now that they are finished, delivered and received, I can finally blog about the three pairs of handwarmers (with the Blogcademy logo on them) that I made as thank you gift for the Blogcademy headmistresses, Shauna, Gala and Kat.

Shauna, Gala and Kat are the creators and instructors of the Blogcademy and since I felt like I never properly thanked them, for what was an amazing experience, I wanted to send them all a token of gratitude.
https://emduk.org/gpq2lbm On the heels of my Wild and Free wristbands, I had been playing with intarsia/color work and figured I could easily recreate the Blogcademy “B” in a wristband. I made a chart on graph paper again, but quickly realized that due to the number of rows needed for the chart, the wristband would have to be super wide, which didn’t look very good I thought, so I decided to change them to handwarmers.

Buy Alprazolam 2Mg I love an excuse to go to Packaging Specialties and bought most of my packaging there.
https://discovershareinspire.com/2024/05/dswtdiq Matt had these fun alphabet stamps that I used to write Shauna, Kat and Gala’s names on their cards. He’s had them the whole time we’ve been together, so I can’t believe I’ve never used them for anything before. I want to use them for everything now!

https://www.jacobysaustin.com/2024/05/yj1c0wqar I was most nervous about sending Kat her pair, since she lives in the U.K. and I haven’t done a lot of international shipping before. Here is a fun photo of Kat wearing her Blogcademy handwarmers. It’s cool to see someone wearing something you made, especially when it’s all the way in another country!

https://pkuatm.org/2024/05/13/xev02i4k I love these! I am going to the Chicago Blogcademy in May and I cannot wait. 🙂
Buy Diazepam 10Mg Teva That is such great news Dani! I am so excited for you. It’s funny, Matt and I were just talking about the Blogcademy the other day and he said, “That turned out to really be worth it for you, didn’t it?”. Indeed! You are going to love it.
enter I just found your awesome blog through Dani and I just had to say that I saw your gift a week or so ago in my intagram feed because Kat posted a photo of them; I thought how sweet for someone to make and send these to her. They are so cute!
