This week marks the beginning of my bloggy buddies edition of my Sunday Seller Spotlight features. Without these lovely ladies, I would be a bit lost, as they have come to be steadfast supporters, fans, advisors, and friends. The first buddy I will feature is Paige of Lenox Knits who wrote an amazingly loving post about me a while back which you can read here.
Paige sells gorgeous hand knit items in her etsy shop Lenox Knits and on 1000 markets (same shop name) as well. Her signature creations include fashion scarves, scarflettes, and knitted wire and beaded wrist cuffs. In addition, you will find other assorted textile accessories like hair barrettes and headbands, pouches, and even a necklace. I've included photos of what I think to be a good survey of Paige's style:
The funky: A tighter knit for warmth paired with a textural twist in stitch pattern and variegated color for a bohemian, artsy look.
A touch of elegance: A loose and lacy stitch provides the textural interest in a solid color fashion scarf. See this scarf featured here, the main page of the Strange Folk Festival representing the Knitting and Crochet category.
The ethereal: A fine gage wire delicately knit and placed with beads.
Function and Style: Formed close around the neck with warm, thick yarn for a pop of color and fashion.
If you haven't looked her up, please do, because Paige is a wonderful person through and through. She is an amazingly talented knitter and crafter, generous with her industry knowledge (read the blog- link below!) and caring thoughs, and someone I'm proud to call my friend.
You can view her flickr page for more images from both her work and life, and her blog here wherein she details indie seller tips and tricks, her work and process, and life events.

what great knit items. And the yarn - is that what you would call it - great! I just want to reach out and touch it!
Great Spotlight on Paige and her beautiful designs. That Spring Rose scarf is gorgeous!
Thank you so much for such a sweet feature. It really means a lot coming from you since I respect you both as an artist and a friend.
