hi! @asynch and I run a knitting Etsy - we have hat listings of a couple styles up already. no gloves listed right now, but we could come up with a design (I will caveat as "probably," because gloves are more asynch's thing than mine.) Store is linked in my signature :)
@Kit i think I might need to do a custom thing, since my head seems to be larger than the standard one-size-fits all, and also I want to talk yarn types. would it be best to PM you or hit up the email on your site?
@Enzel Go ahead and go for the email - it's easier for me to keep commission info all connected to the one account! The first thing I'll need will be a measurement of the circumference of your head where you'd like the hat's brim to sit, if you can include that - it'll make design and pricing calculations faster.
It took two weeks longer than I thought it would, but I finished the shawl. Finally. 576 stitches of 6mm thick yarn on 32 inches of circular knitting needles was hell on my fingers.
I'm trying to decide what to do with all this alpaca (whoops im on my phone which hates formatting, its this yarn http://www.aslantrends.com/royal_alpaca.php ) I have 1.5ish skeins of hunter green, one of petunia, and like half a skein of pale blue. I've crocheted hats with this yarn and it's not the best for it, so idk what else to do. I could crochet a shawl? Btw I didn't choose the Petunia skein, personally i would have got another shade of blue, but do those 3 go together at all?
Fff. I'm thinking of picking up some kind of crank knitter. I was looking at the circular sock machines. But... nnngh. So expensive. But I could get an addi express? I'm not sure. I want something that will knit with my sock yarns :T
Hey y'all - I am looking to sell a couple of my cross-stitch pieces, specifically the Mass Effect ones: Spoiler: large images They could easily all go in a frame together, in a lovely spectrum of morality, but they would also be nice on their own. They are currently unbacked and unframed; I could frame one or more of them for you and ship them, or I could put iron-on backing onto them, or I could ship them as-is and you could do whatever you like with them. I'm asking $15 for each of them separately, $25 for two of them, and $30 for all three - and if you want them framed, that's $5 extra for a single or $10 extra for two or three together. Iron-on backing I'll add at no cost. Obviously shipping will be higher if they are framed - probably $10-15 to the States, not sure about anywhere else. If they are not framed I would imagine shipping would be no higher than $5 (and that's a high guess). Let me know if you are interested! I can ship them out as early as next week, depending on whether you want them framed (I'd need to go find a good one).
Having sewing class this year is so funnnnnnn (fashion course) I made pajama pants, I'll put up a photo at somepoint. Rn I'm figuring out how to bullshit a nary to headband for a friend for Christmas Funfunfunfunfun
i rilly rilly hope my santee likes their gift because hoo boy did i set myself a fun challenge this year @_@
wooo double post because i got my first q-snap frame! AND IT'S AWESOME HOLY CRAP. i would post a picture but it has my santee's gift in it atm and i just got it to the right tension soooo ...
I.. LOVE.. THIS.. YARN... i didn't want to get the regular "chroma" because i'm not so much a fan of neatly segmented stripes, but having the three strands twisted together, each with their own out-of-sync color shift, is SO GOOD
finished my bandana cowl!! i sort of wish i had made something looser/drapier bc i have some difficulty with things touching my neck, but it sure looks pretty. Spoiler: pics
Spoiler: blenkie Beginnings of a cabled blanket made out of cheap soft baby yarn. SO SOFT. That took up the whole ball of the brown and blue stuff; I'm going to be alternting it with pink and white and pink balls, haha
More robot cross-stitch!! This one was a challenge, because this artist does things with hard lines, but enough detail work that doing a tracing of one of her serious pictures in excel would have been AWFUL (and huge), but also I wanted to make her a thing (I am running out of walls to hang things on and paying for these framing jobs is Pain), so I wanted it to look cool Spoiler: large (original art) So I lost a lot of the cool detail work, like I knew I would, but I think this picture still had enough... gesture? flow? to make a pretty cool end product. And also it's so huge that when I made my inevitable don't-know-how-to-do-basic-counting error, and started stitching ten squares higher than I meant to, my top line of stitches ended up about an inch from the edge of the canvas. GOOD JOB, ME. (also my next project, I think I'm going to do an experiment where I don't stitch a grid across the canvas, where I just outline blocks of ten on the perimeter and count inward from there. It'll make my life much less painful if it does work. Witness meeeeee) (I tell a semi-lie, my next priority is going to be working on a two foot by three foot japanese crane painting kit that my parents got me for christmas a while back, but I'm going to have at least one other simultaneous project because that thing is not going to be terribly portable)
omg, thats amazing. This could probably go in the pixel art thread as well, or is cross stitch different enough that it would be on its own?
