Great Chunky Scarves made in Calgary

Well the temperatures haven't risen here in Calgary, meaning the winter air is still quite bitter.  I've wrapped my neck with a flimsy scarf over the passed couple of days, which made me realize something....

How in the world have I survived living in Calgary WITHOUT a chunky scarf to keep me warm???

Trust me, I am in  a state of shock myself! I don't "do" hats, but scarves are an absolute "winter must have".

I'm on the hunt for a warm, yet interesting scarf to carry me through the rest of winter, (which could last another 2 months or 4).

Knittles (they've been featured on The Creative Mixx a few times)

Castknitting

Bubblegum Sass (We used to work together!)

Tangled Stitch

Hipband (created by a dear friend of mind)

I'll be making a decision soon.

Stay tuned for an upcoming post.....

Holiday Gift Ideas From Friends of The Creative Mixx

We're 5 days into the month of December and I've already started to decorate my home for the Holidays.  I bought a "live" tree on Monday night (love the smell of pine), decorated it last night and now I'm ready to make a Christmas shopping list.  

I planned on scouring the web for gift ideas and realized something....

I have a lot of friends who are in the business of selling something (either jewelry, clothing, home decor items, photography services, knitted items, pet products, etc.)!!!

With so much talent within my circle of friends, I decided that it would be a great idea to post  the first annual
