Major shop update January 10, 2007

I am in the middle of a major update to my etsy shop in preparation for my debut in the etsy showcase tomorrow. *edit: I am an idiot. My Showcase dates don’t start until Friday* If you would like to be informed of updates to my shop and be privy to special offers, sign up for my mailing list.

The big ticket item in my shop right now is my Atari 2600 themed altoid tin.

complete with silver beads for levers and wood grain interior

I am wickedly proud of it. The price is steep, but there was just too much hand stitching in there…. There is also a tin just for SF Bay area commuters.

The button-maker (named Stampy) was put to work making treats for knitters

and moustache lovers.

There is also some roving and yarn, but I have been having a heck of a time trying to get good photos of it. Here are just a few:

I don’t know if I will be able to let this one go

Here come the sweaters…. March 29, 2006

I used some
handpaintedyarn,com Ejido 160 to start an Incredible Custom Raglan . Unfortunately i followed the directions a little too closely, and made a snug measurement around my neck. Of course, this resulted in the neck hole being the exact size of my neck…. And smaller than my head. So I couldn’t get it on. I liked how it was progressing, though. to prevent weird color pooling, I was using two balls of yarn, and alternating them every two rows. It was looking good.

so i ripped it out and started over.

I also got my Knitpicks order that I have been waiting on for a long time…. Some merino style for Eunny’s Deep-V Argyle vest. I joined the Knit-along too.

in this project I will attempt two-handed fair-isle knitting, and finish it off with some steeks. i can’t wait.

And because I like looking at it,
I present my altoid-tin tv-dinner.


Drumsticks, Mashed potatoes, Cherry compote, and succotash.
