Welcome to Graywood Knits

Welcome to a new venture for Graywood Designs, this blog that will feature my knitting designs, as well as posts about the art and craft of knitting.

I've been keeping a knitting journal for a number of years and hope to write about how I journal, and about why a knitting journal might be a good idea for you.

I've joined the Ravelry knitting bunch. You will hear about that. I'm knitting for grandkids. I have ventured into lace weight knitting. You will read about those projects, too.

And I've gotten bogged down in knitting and quilting. You'll hear about my struggle to finish things and about taking a vacation from some of the things that I love so much. Sometimes, it's a good idea to get away from it all.

I have some favorite knitting places on the web. There are designers whose work I admire. All of these, and more, will be topics of blog posts in the months to come.

The Graywood Designs website will continue to bring you knitting yarns and supplies, as well as the quilting designs that Graywood has been known for throughout the last fifteen years. You will be able to order some of the yarns that I will feature in the blog posts through the website.

Our website also carries an eclectic mix of needles and books and patterns for knitting. If you like the blog, you will probably find something on the website. We will be shipping one day a week only, though. I'm of the conviction that most knitters are reasonably patient people and will appreciate the blog, the kind of knitting yarn and supplies that we offer, and the links to Graywood Designs's shopping experience.

In addition to the website, you will find Graywood Designs on Ravelry where you can download PDF versions of my knitting designs. If you are new to Ravelry, you will be pleasantly surprised by this all encompassing social media website for knitters.

So, join me as I blog about knitting. You are hereby cordially invited to join me as Graywood Knits!

Happy Knitting,

Wanda Hayes Eichler
