Welcome! I am a very lucky mama to two lovely boys; Elliot and Reid. I live with my husband, the boys, a Great Dane, and four hens in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I have called Portland my home since early 2000. Knitting and sewing have been an integral part of my life since I was a little girl. My grandma taught me to knit when I was six, she is of the generation that was still used to doing everything by hand and from scratch. She sewed our clothes and canned fruits and vegetables to make it through the winter. I remember every fall we canned peaches from our own peach orchard. Through the years I continued knitting and also pursued other crafts. But I did not begin crafting seriously again until I became pregnant with my first son. Early on we decided to use cloth diapers, and that's how I was introduced to the cloth and woolie world. I was inspired to begin sewing and knitting again. In 2007 I created my first company, Royal Bottoms - it is quite likely you own a wetbag that was made by me. As I started offering more hand knit items through the store and dabbed in yarn dyeing, I felt that it was time to separate my crafts and create a store that better showcases my knitting and dyeing. I created Blissful Knits to be my creative outlet - a way to express my passion for knitting. I love to sit down, cast on, and see where the needles take me. My knitting specialties are children's items, shawls, and intricate lace. I frequently apply decorative designs to my items to give them a unique look. No two items are alike. Your item will always be custom knit to meet your needs or the needs of your little one. I look forward to working with you to create a truly unique and inspired item. - Raya
