Katie Knits

I finished knitting the (non) Blizzard Mittens, and they're currently in the washer before going to the dryer to be felted. I've been still down and out as I recover from a particularly nasty bout of the flu, which means a little more down time (sort of) for knitting. These knit up so fast I'll hopefully still be able to wear them before it gets too cold out. :)

All right, I have to admit I need a little help from all of you readers out there. I found a great little website that lets you put your own personal emblem on a piece of ribbon, which I could then sew into anything that I make for a friend or as a barter. It's actually very reasonably priced, and one spool would last for awhile!

Since I can be fairly drawing-challenged, I enlisted the help of my awesome Mom to draw up a few ideas for "Katie Knits" or "Katie's Knits", and she sent me about 30-40 really cute choices. From them, these are a few of my favorites.

Choice # 1- I like the way this incorporates what could either be knitting needles or sewing pins...

Choice #2- This is one of my favorites- simple and cute, with little needles...

Choice #3- A fair amount of flow, still simple but still some fun swirls...
Choice #4- A little more decoration on each end, but still feels nice and simple...
Choice #5- A bit of decoration, but less then the last one...
Choice #5- I don't know why I like this one so much, but I do. Fun and cute!

It was hard enough to narrow it down to even these 5 (and I'm still debating a couple other designs), so let me know which one you like, or would smile if you saw on the inside of a hand-knit good from a friend...
