New Spring Items

Well, I've been doing a lot of spring cleaning around the apartment lately & that tall pile of "to be photographed" was finally on the list to do this week.  So far I have 5(?) sets of dishcloths photographed & ready to be listed.  Here's a sample:

Getting ready for July...


Spring Green & Cool Sunshine

Next: I'll be re-organizing my work space & storage of my items.

The messy Before picture

I love the optimism that new life & spring bring :)

Completed Projects:

* 3 hats for my Spin Instructor's boyfriend & two sons (last two pictures are the same hats, just different poses):


* A yellow & purple hat PLUS matching scarf (picture to come soon) for a friend of my fiancé:
 
(the first picture is more true to color; the light was too low for the nearly complete, second photo)

*And the beginning of another set of dishcloths.  I found this yarn at a new store and I couldn't wait to try it so I started this right after finishing the last of the 3 hats (^).


More pictures & completed projects to come!

It's Slow but...

it's a start!  I now have 2 official (custom) orders with a 3rd working out her design (she is supplying the materials).  So now I will be busy busy working on those two orders this and next week.  Both are grey cowls; one as a neck-warmer size & the other big enough to also double as a hood.  I'll post pictures as I get started.  Have you seen the new items?  I promise I'll be listing more soon.  I've finished another two sets (or more?  I've lost track...) of dish cloths and after I have 10 new sets listed, (and those orders of course,) I'll be adding other new items like cowls, mittens, and more hats. 
What colors are you looking for in a knitted (or crochet) item?  I can always use new ideas :) 

Happy Hump Day!

Some Fun Colors

These are some of my favorite colors.  I think using these colors in dishcloth form really warms up the kitchen and adds a little sunshine. :)
Can you tell I like super-macro shots?  I think they are beautifully artistic, but also fun because it's like feeling the texture of an item with your eyes. 

Here is a little peak at some other items I can't wait to list (maybe at the end of next week?): 


I will be offline for most of the weekend but look for more updates on Monday!  (and don't let that deter you from leaving comments, hehe)

First Mobile Post

This is my first *mobile* blog entry from my phone. Let's see if it works....
In other news, look what I made today! It's a bag!


Edit: Success!  Now I have an idea what it will look like when I post from my phone (not the best formatting, but nothing online editing can't fix, hehe).

Anyway, it may look like just a bag, but!....



It's the bag/package that the dishcloths will be shipped in!  I'm thinking about decorating it a little more so it's not just a brown bag but this is what I got done today (x3).

And the stitching...

Not the best job (I rolled the wheel by hand because I didn't feel like running the plug across the living room, hehe), but pretty good for using recycled and on-hand materials, huh? :)

It even fits a baby blanket!
