Wow so I'm really behind...

I've been meaning to post but had so much stuff for school piled on last minute. I'm officially done with my freshman year of college. Now I have to like hurry myself up and start creating again. I have to make two hats and I'm using a really nice pink vanna's choice. They're both birthday presents. One for my best friend and one for my sisters. I will do them probably tonight (instead of working on algebra for my placement test on saturday morning) and post as soon as I finish. I'd also like to work on some more creatures. =]

Hectic

I'm so behind on the crocheting that I wish I was doing right now. I'm unfortunately wrapped up in this awful terrible horrible english paper (30 pages long analysis on the poetry of margaret atwood). So I am amidst procrastination.
I have a list of things I need to make though!

To Finish
  • Monkey for emily (gift)
  • Hat for molly
  • Flowers for other hats
To Start
  • Blanket for lindsays baby (gift)
  • Ninja for Noël (gift)
  • Hat for Aj (gift)
  • Hat for Kurt (gift)
Notice how much profit I will be making...
Like essentially nothing haha.

I think I may have to break down and make an etsy account... I just hate not getting full amount.
Also people charge less on there for more complicated hats than what I make... but I feel like any less wouldn't really be that worth it since sometimes they're painful to make (bad hands).
I think though that beggars simply cannot be choosers.
Bahhhh
Also I want to pick up spinning.
Also I want to get back into sewing.
Also I want to learn how to use my serger that I have never used because I can't find the cone thread...

Sigh i wish i had more money and space for crafts... don't we all.

More hats...

So I've been a busy bee... haha the grey and silver hat (white and silver crochet thread mixed in) is the only one that's sold. My friend picked the colors she wanted and I was like excellent... money! So I went to maine this week and I crocheted that hat on the way home (5 hour drive). I had like 12 inches left of the crochet thread when I got through and I was getting pretty damn scared near the end... I'm happy with the result, it's a very warm hat.
