Houndstooth Infinity Scarf

Here is a new item I am very excited about. I have been wanting to include a Houndstooth infintiy scarf for some time, and I have finally had the opportunity to work on it. I expect that there will be more houndstooth petterned items in the future, as it is one of my favorite patterns, but here's a little something to whet your appetite. Please feel free to contact me for ordering and pricing information.

Thanks! Danielle

Aah-aah-aahnd knitting......Aah-aah-aahnd knitting......Aah-aah-aahnd knitting...... wait.

No, I have not abandoned my fiber-art-of-choice, but I do enjoy that Pee Wee quote. And that is what I feel like lately! Aah-aah-aahnd crocheting...Aah-aah-aahnd crocheting...

I have been very fortunate in that a great number of people have responded to my work and as a result I have been working my way through a large stack of orders. Thank you for your support, kind words, interest, and appreciation. It's, like, wow!

For now, I go back to my hook and yarn. I'll be back soon, with some new items and fun times.

P.S. For those of you who have NO idea what this post title is referring to:

You're welcome.

Oh, and P.P.S. I don't knit.

Bundle Up! Cowl.

Here's the short version of the new cowl:

Ain't she purrrty?

Here's a long one:

It's perfect for wrapping:

These exact pieces are spoken for, but you can get one of your own, for sure.

Drop me a line, there are about 40 different colors to choose from.

Ciao!

She's Here! She's Here!

She's arrived! My super-cool dress form has been delivered and I was so excited that I had to dress her up immediately! Here she is rockin' a Chatelaine scarf:

Pretty, ain't she? You can count on plenty of new photos headin' your way real soon.

All my excitement over the new dress form has made me realize that I never formally introduced you to my first model, Cat:

That's Cat. She's pretty fly. She loves to rock her retro shades and has been known to dye her hair pink from time to time. I just just never know what to expect from her! But I'm happy to let Cat be Cat, 'cause she makes all my hats look freshhhhhh!!!

So now you know what this means, don't you? This means that I'm going to need a name for my dress form. I expect that her personality will start to show itself in short time and from there her name should become apparent, but I'm open to suggestions.

One more thing, while you're here, you should take your little mouse over to the right and click "Join this site." C'mon, you know you want to.

Peace!

New Year and Many Thanks!

Happy Belated New Year!

2011 was an unexpectedly exciting year for Hook Me Up! Brooklyn. It started slowly, but ended in a flurry of activity and creativity. I am so grateful for everyone who has supported this new venture of mine, from helping out with the small details and doing research to helping to spread the word and, of course, purchasing my goods. I was overwhelmed with the reaction to my work. I was definitely nervous heading into the holiday season; not sure how the masses would respond to what I had spent months working on. So, I say a giant THANK YOU to everyone who supported Hook Me Up! Brooklyn. in 2011!

2012, here I come!

P.S. As a holiday treat to myself, I have ordered a new dress form, which I will use to take photos of my scarves and cowls and whatnot. So excited! Can't wait to get it! Here she is...

New Hat: The Bea Cloche

So, I recently made a Chatelaine scarf for my friend Sherry in a beautiful purple and teal. Having bought more than enough yarn, I thought I'd make her a hat to go with. Here's what I wound up with (I hope she likes it!):

Simple style. Super-soft yarn. Feminine flower detail. I named it after my Grandmother, Beatrice. Just seems like something she would have liked. I'm happy with it :-)

Customer Photos

Here's are a couple of shots of the adorable Paula wearing the Newsie with a flower...

The hat was a gift from her husband, Harlan.
