Today, my favorite shop is Foxy G Knits – owned by a gal named Lois who is also a member of the Etsytwitter Team.
Lois is a special friend. She is so helpful, always tweeting about what’s going on in our group as well as promoting artists and fun stuff on her blog.
In deciding to feature Lois today, I had a difficult time figuring out which of her delicious looking scarves to show you. As her shop states – Knits – I’m impressed with her skill and imagination. I crochet only – no knitting, and can’t figure out how she combines the yarns the way she does.
Anyway, let’s browse through her shop:
Here’s a Pink and Purple Ruffled Scarf. I tried to make a ruffle scarf using crochet, and my hands got all tangled up in the yarn

Next we have her Goddess Shawl – remember what I said about her combining the yarns…

This shawl was made by her 90 year old mother, and according to Lois
All proceeds from the sale of this shawl will be donated to the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Foundation in Chicago, Illinois where we have set up a scholarship fund in memory of my late sister who was a nurse. The scholarship benefits neuro intensive care nurses’ continuing education.
Purchase this shawl and not only will you look Ravishing, but you will be helping a good cause as well.

Please be sure to visit Foxy G Knits – Lois has a lot of sales going on!

Great feature! Lois is not just an exceptional artist..she is a caring, generous person…the one on etsy who introduced me to Paying It Forward!
I am flattered and humbled by your feature and your kind words. I consider myself to be so fortunate to have you and the other Etsy Twitter Team members as my acquaintances and friends.
BTW, I don’t crochet and would require medication and a remedial course to ever get started!
great feature – beautiful items
Lois is one of my favorite people in the entire world so I second your commendation of her work and as a friend
Great article and photos.
Sandi — I knit and crochet both — often in the same garment.
If you want to know how to make a ruffled scarf in crochet, just write to me at my google email — TheKnittingGuru@gmail.com and I’ll be happy to get you started. All of my ruffly scarves are crocheted because while it does take more yarn, it’s actually quicker and easier.
