Hand knitted creations designed by knitski. Welcome to knitski! My name is Andrea, and I also go by Andi. Now, I knit, and taxi my teenager to all her activities.

I served in the military for four years, married a soldier, and have moved all over the globe living the military lifestyle the last 20 years. My husband retired after 23 years of service in the Army. We are a VERY patriotic family and love our military friends and families SO much! I have worked with children from the ages of 3-13 on military installations, and also tutored college students in fo

reign languages. Owning four fur balls...three cats and a dog keeps life quite entertaining. Never a dull moment around here. I love wine, Nutella, chocolate, traveling, and knitting! :)
This page focuses on my past, and current works with an added benefit of a blog. I do NOT sell directly from this page. My work will be featured in a local boutique named, The Look, located in Olney, MD and in the near future on Etsy. I started knitting in the summer of 2012. My knitting instructor who is the owner of "Knitfittery", made knitting easy and enjoyable for me. So much so, I haven't stopped knitting since. I would consider my self a basic knitter with a lot of room to grow. I design my works on graph paper as it is easier for me to visualize where I want to go. I do not buy or download other's patterns because of the copyright issues. I do not sell my patterns, even though I know that is a quicker way to profit in this craft. I like the idea of the unique and intimate feeling of a small business. Perhaps one day I will change my mind. This page will feature pictures of my work and updates about what will be going to the boutique or onto Etsy. (one perk to those who are interested in purchasing these hand knitted creations) Blogging, giveaways, and funny stories will also be incorporated on the page. You will get to know me pretty quickly that way. Thank you so much for your interest of my page and work!

Have yarn? Have some cardboard you can recycle? Quick easy project. No needles needed! Mine are going to go in a dough bowl on my dining room table. I might also make a garland too. We’ll see...

I’ve had zero desire to knit as of late, I know, horrible. However, I think because snow is due here tomorrow for the first time, it has motivated me to get the needles out. A wide seed stitch scarf in the making? 🧶🧣

Nothing fancy to see here, just a simple hat and garter stitch scarf I knitted over Labor Day week with a fevering hubby. Had to knock the rust off the needles. Not going to lie, I was struggling a little with my slipknot just to get started. Lol

Haven’t felt like knitting, but did recycle my old torn flannel pajama pants.

Don’t want to knit a flower? No problem! Use a fork and a sewing needle for these cute little beauties!

Always use protection!

FB is up my t**h about posting. I should have just made this a regular group page. Oh well. Thought I’d share with all you beer fans, what you REALLY desire in knitting form! 🤣🍺

Picked up the needles for the first time in months last night. Not sure what I’m doing, but I kind of like it. Looks cool sideways too. I’ll post once I’m finished. Let’s hope this isn’t an entire 3 month winter project. Lol

Leave my craft scissors alone! Possible stocking stuffers?

My latest knitted project was a baby blanket and bonnet for a friend of mine. Just gifted them at the baby shower this weekend. So soft and warm for the colder weather ahead.

10/14/2018

I have tried knitting a new project today at three different times. Kept pulling it out. Clearly not feeling it today. Maybe I need wine. 🤷🏻‍♀️🍷😂

08/28/2018

Not all baby blankets have to be pink or blue.

08/17/2018

Well, well, would you look at that. I finally started something!

05/17/2018

I have not been knitting. Projects still on deck, will get them out before next cold season. Ok FB, you can get off my back about posting something now. 😂

02/28/2018

It’s been warm out, and I have been lazy. 😔Need to start crackalacking on some projects. Tomorrow, rain is coming and that should be a pretty good motivator.

02/02/2018

Keep knitting and crocheting folks! ❄️🧣

01/27/2018

What I’m working on today. I should be outside enjoying this weather tho. May have to put it down for a bit and play.

01/05/2018

Since these have been given now as Christmas gifts, I just wanted to share with you some of my work. I have three more projects to make in red, but waiting on yarn restock.

11/07/2017

Pretty much sums it up! 😂

10/28/2017

Please, less knitting, and more playing.

10/18/2017

Practicing some cables before my next project.

10/03/2017

Knitting to the rescue. 💙

09/25/2017

Ahh, I think I have successfully learned it! WAY different than my boo boo from my last posting. 😂 Time to create a pattern with it, and knit up a cowl!

09/24/2017

You know it's time to call it a night, when you go three rounds trying to pick up a certain pattern, but realize you keep skipping the same row. When you skip a row, you alter other rows. Needless to say, this looks nothing like it's supposed to, but you uniquely made your own special pattern because you refused to put on your reading glasses. Well, there's always tomorrow. Lol 😂

09/22/2017

So...my first project is completed. Used up the leftover yarn from the scarves making fingerless gloves and a hat as some little extras on me. Hope they fit. If not, maybe they can be passed along. Many cowls are to be knitted next. Stay tuned...

09/11/2017

This is spot on! Who really wants to do housework on a Monday? Surely, not I. 😂

09/04/2017

One down...one more Gryffindor scarf to go!
