Quit Smoking by Knitting!

First of all, if you want to quit smoking, knitting is the perfect way to get rid of that nasty habit. At the same time, you can make beautiful knitted gifts for your family and friends and renew your health and spirit.



I am living proof that you can quit smoking by knitting. Having been a smoker for ten years, I learned how to knit in 1984 and quit smoking cigarettes forever, COLD TURKEY! There were no withdrawals and no weight gain as well. The fruit of my labor produced many mittens, sweaters, and hats! Thank God!

Circular knitting is the main reason why you can quit smoking so easily when knitting. There’s no time to light up a cigarette, because you keep going around in a circle! This fingerless glove knitting pattern is my own design. It is very easy for the beginner knitter. All it takes is one 100 yard skein of worsted or bulky weight yarn. You will also need size 10 double-pointed needles.

Imagine the possible colors and styles you can make - while you quit smoking - of course!



This fingerless glove pattern is a 3-page PDF file (606kb) that I can send to you via e-mail. Please visit my Etsy store for more information.

Instead of smoking, start a good habit by knitting. Quit and Knit!

Capelet, Shoulder Warmer, A Necessity!

Capelets are the latest craze in the knitting and crocheting world. They are especially handy, just in case you are in an air conditioned event and your shoulders are chilly in your strapless gown! I went to a convention and a woman at my banquet table was so cold that she put her linen napkin on her shoulders!

This capelet is the latest handknit item from Fiona Couture Designs. It was knit with raspberry colored yarn from New Zealand, which is 100% wool. The capelet has a large floral matching button and detachable matching silk flower pin. The size is woman's medium; fits bust 36-39."

Feel free to stop by my Etsy store to see other Fiona Couture knitted items. Take care.
