Happy Thursday to you all - I'm sure many of us are still celebrating the Christmas season but for others it's just another day. We have a bachelor friend of DH's here for the day today - I am sure they will have a jamming session and I will get a chance to come upstairs and play with some of my new toys. However, my inspiration for today's challenge, the last WTUI of the year, comes from one of my other hobbies - knitting. I know others of you share this one with me too.
So - you can use knitting-related stamps, knit embossing folders, knit pattern papers, stencils, even some real knitting if you like. That was my plan A, till I ran out of time due to a family situation. There are some fun puns - it's a bit too late for Lawn Fawn's Baah Humbug, but if you're working on Valentines cards, how about "Wool you be mine?". You get bonus (virtual) points if you add some literal Knit Wit to your card with a fun pun. Worst case scenario, if you really don't have any winter woolly options in your stash, add a sheep to the gallery - gotta love me some real merino.
Plan B is the card linked below. Wow, I didn't realise how much glitter it would take to stick to the texture paste. There was some left on the scratch paper, and I very carefully moved it off my desk to the other side of the room to avoid accidents. Yep, you've guessed it! As we have someone staying with us this year, our guest room is occupied and all the bags and boxes from Christmas decor are up in my room, and my sheet of paper with gold glitter slipped and fell off. I think there's still some in my box of dies, but at least the floor is clean and tidy now as I had to vacuum.
Once you've created your knit wit card, upload it with the keyword
WT772 and then come back and share a link here - that makes it easy for people to find your card, especially if there's a typo in the keyword.
Here's a link to our

Here's a link to my sample:

2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
Thank you Lisa, Toni and Carla for finding time to make such brilliant samples at this busy time of year.
