I’m a big dork but I’m excited I just made my first yarn sale at my Etsy shop! People like my stuff, Mom!
I added the yarns from yesterday and the autumnal crossover scarf to the shop. I pulled the October Song yarn because I want to make a hat out of it now. This is the attitude I’d really like to keep about it: if people buy my yarn, great! If they don’t I’ll just knit something fun with it eventually. If I put that up for sale and it sells super! If not, I have a readymade present for someone.
I spun the yellow and orange yarn for Mr. Tong’s birthday Jayne Cobb Hat but the red roving I’d bought wasn’t quite the right color for it - a bit more wine than rusty red but it’s beautiful anyway. In fact, it’s probably my favorite yarn so far. I’m already calling it Muscadine Wine. So back to ebay to find a more suitable red for the hat.
Erin and I have joined the Fuzzy Feet Along. I just happened to buy some lopi for that the other day at Good Fibrations. I’ll be holding three different colored strands so it should be interesting. And super thick! Which is good the person I’m making it for has really cold feet. I should go get it started now so I won’t be trying to join three strands in the round at the knitting group. I never do well with joining in the round if I’m distracted.
I don’t plan on bringing the wheel to the group today. But I might bring the hedgehog.


Eep! Chris almost read that over my shoulder!
Which would be sort of funny, as he already learned what one of his birthday presents is going to be today. (I got him a new printer, and left it in my trunk until I could wrap it, and then forgot. He saw it when I popped the trunk at the farmer’s market this morning. Oops.)
Also, would you point Mr. Pendant to http://www.nanowrimo.org/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=2 for me? I’m going to give it a shot, though I firmly expect to give up about one week in. I’m listed as Xombiegirl.
I’ll see you next month!
Ooooh, man I do love your website design! I loooove it!
Fuzzyfeet pics, please?
Congrats on your Etsy sale! That yarn was so beautiful–I wish I could have touched it before it left!!
