I've been sidetracked somewhat by the cuteness of booties! I set aside some time last week for crafty stuff and ended up knitting teeny tiny baby shoes.
Well, one teeny tiny baby shoe anyway.
But it was lots of fun. And I have an excuse. Several lovely lady friends of mine are expecting in the next few months, so... you know, I had to get my head around this booty thing.
After much trial and error (knitting to patterns without a nanna type to help is hard work!), I have created a whole one booty all on my own.
It still needs a little cord, and to be sewn up the middle but I get the gist.
Cool huh?
Also, since the last post, I've done some marketeering!
Went to Newtown DIY markets (free stall!) with some similarly minded crafty ladies and we sat in the sun and tried to sell our whares.
Sold about $20 worth - not too shabby considering we got there a smidgen late and ended up at the very edge of the markets.
My earrings, pins and hair ties were on offer. Cheapies for about $3-4. They don't cost much to make so I figure that's about right price-wise.
I didn't have enough wooly things to sell at the time. I think I'll do some more knitting before I do the next market though. Scarves, and booties perhaps, now I know how to do those!
I have two lovely scarf designs complete that I plan to do more of.
Also - I have an idea in my head for lovely fine crocheted earrings. Only problem is when I make them the crochet goes curly. How do you make crochet rigid and starchy?? I believe it has something to do with washing the yarn.
These are my curly earrings...
Not quite right are they?
Back to the drawing board...
My other exciting news is I'm getting into resin! All booked in for a resin jewellery making course. Fun times.
