Happy June, Robyn!

This month, I asked my sponsors what they are most looking forward to this June, and their favourite TV show. Here is what Robyn had to say:
We're heading to Chicago in early June to watch my youngest brother graduate from high school, and to show Owen to Chicago for the first time!
Right now I'm loving on American Ninja Warrior!

Hello Again, Robyn!

Is the Easter Bunny visiting your house? What kind of treats do you hope to get?

He sure is! I'm excited more to see what sort of treats our son Owen gets - although we'll certainly be raiding any chocolate or Jelly Beans! 

I can't wait to see what kinds of treats he gets!

Coffee or tea, and what kind is your favourite?

Chai tea. Always cold, made with soy milk. 

What is your most exciting project this month?

I'm knitting Waffle Hats in April, and I'm also FINALLY making a photo book or two for our family!

Welcome Back, Robyn!

Awesome news, readers! Robyn is offering a discount to all of you for the month of March! Use the code NICOLE12 for 20% off in her shop!

What are your three favourite etsy shops, besides your own?
I love Ozetta's shop so much - her hand knits are amazing, and she's so prolific!
I also love Love and Knit  - such an amazing variety of items offered, it's how I want my shop to look someday!
Both fantastic shops!

I am so tempted to buy this hat for myself!

What is your favourite green treat to consume on St. Patrick's Day? Are you doing anything fun for the holiday?
Shamrock Shakes, naturally!
I've NEVER had a shamrock shake! I think I need to change this, as I've heard so many good things about them

What are you most looking forward to with the start of spring?
Being able to spend more time outside with my little man! He'll be learning to crawl just as the weather gets really nice, and I can't wait to start exploring all the local parks with him!
Owen is such an adorable baby.

Welcome Back, Robyn!

What is your most exciting project this week?
This week I'm working on a giant puff knitted up for a blog friend!

What are you top 5 favourite recording artists?
Is it bad if I admit I don't really listen to all that much music?!

How do you get out of a creative slump?
I just ride through it. I figure when it's time for me to start creating again, I will.

How do you feel about Valentine's Day?
I love Valentine's Day, but then we celebrate super chill; usually it's just pizza and a movie.

Say Hello To Robyn!

Welcome Robyn! She is the second sponsor for the month, and quite a wonderful lady.

Tell me about yourself!

My name is robyn, and I'm a minimalist knitter! I believe you can have a fabulous and fulfilling craft-based life, and still own less than the average American. I believe you can knit your way to a better world with less than a room full of yarn and supplies. And I believe more and more knitters are looking for a new way to live and love their craft!
There definitely are times I really wish I could get my knitting supplies down to what fits in my knitting basket. I am so jealous of Robyn's ability to do this!

How did you start hand making?

I learned to knit at 19 from a co-worker, and fell instantly in love! I've been inundating friends and family with hand-knits ever since, and began knitting for charity shortly thereafter.

Where do you sell, both online and elsewhere.

On Etsy!

What do you do other than create?

I stay home with our son Owen, and i love to read trashy fiction, both YA and for grown-ups.

What does your workspace look like?

Right now, my workspace is all over the house! I knit and crochet in spare moments, so I have a project in the living room, one in our office upstairs, and even one in the diaper bag for when we travel.

What is your most indispensable tool, that you would be completely lost without?

My Gussy bag! i use it to store my most used knitting needles, my most used crochet hook, and all my knitting notions. it fits in the diaper bag or my knitting bag, and looks gorgeous!
