So my posts here have practically come to a standstill. I am busy at work and when I do have crafty time, it has been mostly spent generating moustaches. Why the sudden stockpiling of ’staches? Because I will be selling my wares at the San Francisco Bazaar Bizarre on December 15th.

SF Baz Biz Banner

Hooray! I am very excited about it. It has allowed me to fulfill a long-time (and now outdated) goal of owning a manual credit card processor. I like to call them ka-chunkers. I will probably be the only person there more excited about accepting credit cards instead of cash.

I am hopeful that I will get to meet a lot of crafters and possible SF-area blog readers. I bought a little book, and hope to have my readers/online friends sign it (idea totally stolen from jekbot - she was doing this at Felt Club). To entice you to introduce yourself, I am willing to bribe my readers with special moustache buttons… All you have to do is introduce yourself :) Also, if you want anything, i can bring it there for pick-up.

And as if selling stuff isn’t enough, I will doing a demo on Weavettes from 4:30-5. You can stop by and see why I think these little looms are so fun.

I have some new items that are pretty darn cute. If you don’t have the dough for them, you can now convince your paypal-saavy loved ones to buy you a gift certificate.

More alphabet stitch markers for knitting along with cat bordhi’s books. This set is for those that knit two socks at once!

And for the ’stache lovers I have the only ’stache for the holidays - Santa. Get the big man’s moustache on buttons, cards, or gift tags

I also have a batch of pocket mirrors with gocco printed storage bags. I am kinda hoarding these for the Bazaar, so if you want one, you might have to ask :)

Happy shopping! And more importantly, please say ‘Hi’ if you see me at the Bazaar. I promise I won’t make you buy anything.

The secret is out June 27, 2007

Finally after months of secrecy, I can reveal my knitting group’s secret project:

A Blanket for Debbie! Debbie has been in our knitting group for years, and when she announced that she was getting married, we wanted to make something for her. The idea of a blanket was tossed around and I vehemently opposed. I really hated seaming together the baby blanket that we knit as a gift a long time ago. Then Abby stepped up and took charge. After a few weeks of pumping Debbie for color and yarn information, we were knitting blue squares.

The blanket is made of Plymouth Encore (superwash wool acrylic blend) and is the combined knitting efforts of Abby, Carmen, Ingrid, Sarah, Sarah B, Wenonah, B, Gen, Mary and myself. The square pattern is from Fun Knits. We added a double crochet border, and Abby hand embroidered a tag. (Peek here if you want to see us piecing it together.)

I think she likes it!
