First Sale!

Well, I made my first sale (see picture left)! I can hardly believe it myself, what with this happening so quickly and all. This has given me inspiration to continue creating some fun items, especially for the upcoming holiday season!

I just finished a beret for my sister this morning, and if you like what you see, let me know and I will keep making more!This is a two toned knitted hat with antique buttons. I think it is pretty cute! Anyway, check back with the blog to see what will be showing up in my store in the next few weeks.

Up and Running

Hello blog world...it is me, big apple beth. As you may have guessed, my days as that nom de plume have ended with me moving from the Big Apple to the Mile High City! For those of you who have been wondering where I have disappeared to, well allow me to explain. In July, Patrick and I left out beloved NYC, friends, and family to move out West. Ever since I read the Little House on the Prairie series, I dreamt about pioneering to a new land and forging my path with freshly made footsteps. A far cry from those tough days, I feel that being out here has renewed my perspective on life. For one thing, there is a lot of space out here, not to mention the most majestic mountains I have ever beheld thus far. We have been settled here for the past few months, and I can say that, as difficult as it was leaving, I am happy that we are here. So...onto the cozy rhino. This is my new Etsy store where I will be selling hand-drawn cards, knitted cozies, and possibly some fine art as well a.k.a. paintings. To keep posted with it all, I will be blogging about my store and my creations, offering funny stories and tips for knitting. Please visit, and check up on what my newest Colorado adventures will be!
