Hello world!
Here's this week's update on my projects:

knitting wise

  1. started & finished a set of baby booties in one day (mega cute)
  2. started the OP art baby blanket in grey and black; I'd say it's about 1/5 done.
  3. a friend has asked me to make 4 toques for her bridesmaids as gifts
  4. I've decided to make myself a bright purple capelet for the fall, as it's already starting to get cold outside. I've found a very simple but nice pattern so i'm going to start it tonight.

media wise:

  1. redoing a photos page on a pre-existing website
  2. met a 'manager' for a local band; he's supposed to be emailing me about tshirt designs this week.
  3. working on a website for one of my APs at work.



and here are the photos of the sweater and hat i mentioned in the previous post:

So the booties are done (i found a great pattern on ravelry that's quick, easy and looks super cute) - i'm considering adjusting the pattern to fit my foot so that i can have some warm slippers this winter...that and i wanted to make a pair of shoes out of the hemp wool i bought and some soft leather. If that works out i will post the pattern for it on here, as well as on Ravelry.*

I started the baby blanket for my sister yesterday; it's a good thing she isn't due until february, because i know i will get bored of this pattern and put it down a few times. it's very repetitive - kbf the first stitch, k to end of section through the whole blanket...*yawn*

I swear i won't post on here again until i get some photos of the 3 projects i just finished (pinwheel sweater, floppy poorboy hat, black straps baby booties), or until i have a new pattern to post.

soon to be knitting waaay more.

Well, I finished my pinwheel sweater as well as a floppy beret this weekend (pictures later)!
I had planned to start on the Space Invaders sweater next, but it seems my oldest sister is pregnant with her first kid, so i should probably start making the baby blanket and booties i told myself i would make for my sisters when they had kids. I want the blanket to be in an Entrelac pattern, so i should get started soon...it's just a matter of whether she knows the sex, or if i'm making stuff in unisex colours.

In other news i'm getting a lot of orders in; 5 toques for a wedding party's gifts, a couple slouchy beret's, the SI sweater for agata, and then of course my "i <3 zombies" sweater...I think i might attempt to make a felted bag/purse because i think with the right pattern i could sell a few of them.

...It's a good thing i'm really ambitious when it comes to knitting because when i write it all out, i have a hell of a lot of knitting to do.
