I am on a mission to get some crap finished! I have 2 things ready for felting, a bucket hat & a handbag, both made of hpy.com’s natural merino worsted weight. Gorgeous, I just hope my new patterns work out. I am felting the bag with the magnet closure already attached. We’ll see how that will work out. I have a solid black bag & a new striped bag pattern that I am trying to finish to get the the store to sell. Charisma on State St. next to the Hotel Santa Barbara will start carrying my products just as soon as I can get some over to them. Very happy about that! It’s fun to come up with my own patterns for things to sell.
I am awaiting an order from handpaintedyarn.com for some of their bulky wool in turquoise & some bulky merino in paris nights. Can’t wait for those to get here!!
I am slowly working on a few other projects, let’s just make a list shall we??
*turtleneck scarf from scarfstyle
*ruffles scarf from scarfstyle
*aran sweater from Debbie Bliss
*2 bags for felting
*2 bucket hats for felting
*homespun blanket
*various socks, some kneehigh, some crew
*herringbone poncho
And of course I always have a dozen other projects that I want to cast on! Ordering new yarn doesn’t help that situation at all!
As a matter of fact that damn conscience I have is causing serious problems! Hear me now: I am not buying any more yarn for at least 2 months! I give myself a re-start date of May 8th, 2005. Hold me accountable if you feel the need, I would actually appreciate it! I am also considering selling some of my cone yarn on ebay for machine knitters. Since I can’t seem to get my act in gear & use my own machine to make things!! Lame! I also have 2 giant rubbermaid bins of all that charity yarn from Jayme that none of us have really used. If anyone wants to take some of that off my hands I would appreciate it! Let me know!! Have a great week people!
