Stanton's K-nifty Knits

Special Guest Blogger: Today, I, proudly and happily, introduce you to my son. He is blogging about his knitting business. Welcome, Stanton! 

Hi, my name is Stanton Terrell. Knitting is a passion I have, and I find joy in doing it. My grandma first taught me to knit years ago. She has taught me almost everything I know!

I am a very experienced, and skilled knitter. I have been knitting for over 7 years.  Knitting is a fun hobby to do. I have been knitting many items for a long time.

I have been in business locally for a couple years now.  I am very excited to bring to you Stanton's K-nifty Knits. 

Handmade Sashay Scarf, Black and Gold

Right now you will find a supply of my most popular item, the Sashay Scarf! Get them while they last!!

There will be much more to come. I am currently building my shop, slowly but surely. 

I have had a lot of fun knitting over the past years. I have made scarfs, hats, socks, and more. 

Broadening my horizons, I wanted to see if I could make a coat. I accomplished this last year when I surprised my Mama with a full length crimson coat for Christmas! She loves it! I am glad I did it!

Just recently, I have made my first afghan blanket. It is so warm and cozy. I love it! 

My popular sells, are the sashay scarfs, and my hats. Hats are so much fun to make! I can custom make almost anything you want, for a hat.  I can make Ear flap hats, custom monogram name hats, custom design hats, and more! I have made many many different scarves. I enjoy making scarves. Just like the hats, I can custom make just about anything. 

If you want a custom order, you can tell me through My Etsy shop or through my email. My shop will grow and I will continue to add more items as soon as possible! So keep on the look out! I am excited for what is in store. I hope you find what you are looking for!

Easter Bonnet Fashion 2010

Back in the day.... my sweet Carolina Mama dressed her four girls in Easter Bonnets and Gloves, her son in suits, and ties and vests. Yes! Imagine, if that's the children, think how dashing my parents were. Camelot! So was it any surprised at my Wedding- who wore elbow length gloves?! Going away hat to match my going-away suit just like my dear mother.

Anyone else remember this tradition?

Understandably and unfortunately I have lost lots of you. You were not privy to the awesome styles and traditions. Now you'll understand why I miss the Easter Bonnets, gloves and those classic Southern traditions. And I was privileged to learn them in high-fashion style. You can see where I get my love of accessories. Never mind that it was a brisk end-of-winter night when I took this stroll down memory lane - or my favorite giraffe scarf that wouldn't be coupled with these Easter chic frocks- it's another timeless beauty. Now for the Easter bonnets take a look.

This one is a real classic beauty. I mean there is nothing like black and white.



... unless it's a little black and red!



The young girl got into the styles with me. Look how well she wears it! Heather and white.



Traditional Spring Green... !



What makes Easter and Spring Fashion for you?!

Kentucky Derby's Smack Down "Want Revenge" Dunkirk Food and Hats

Live from the Kentucky Derby! Carolina Mama's pink favorite. Here's what I would be doing if I were at the Derby this year! Smack down here is all things Carolina, here's what we're looking at from sweet Carolina as we focus all eyes on the Derby today.


Here's the smack down on the Kentucky Derby. Check out "Want Revenge!" He just was scratched from the line up because of an ankle injury. It's got to be sad. So go ahead and decide for yourself who will it be?!



Lots are banking on Dunkirk. He does have potential to turn heads and break records - really old records.

If you're like Carolina Mama - you're into the Hat Parade!


Then you can't forget the Kentucky Derby Foods. Or should I say drinks - most at Churchill Downs will enjoy the traditional Kentucky Derby Drink the Mint Julep. Then I would prefer the Mint Julep Cake! That's right!



Here's my Carolina Mama pretty in pink pick for this year's Hat Winner! What's your Kentucky Derby?! Your hat? Your food? Your life! Have a great weekend!


Warmly,
