I've decided to relocate my blog...new year, new start, right? Really I'm not getting the services I wanted, and  my entries keep getting reformatted upon saving causing weird looking entries or missing information. I decided it was time to venture elsewhere. Please bear with me as I relocate all my old posts over there and learn all about the new ( Read more... )

Well it has been a busy past coupled of months. Lots of Christmas knitting (I still have to finish up two shawls actually, but they are close to being done). Then I sprained my wrist which has lead to slow-going on the knitting front. Still recovering, but I'm picking up speed again. I've just decided to give myself some designated rest time, so I ( Read more... )

Even with my injured wrist, turn around time is still fairly low. I thought my customers might like to see what orders I have on the horizon to help them plan. So far January isn't too busy. Besides these custom orders, I am designing some snowflake booties and plan to get some conductor stripe booties worked up. A few pairs of toddler sandals will ( Read more... )

It's been a while since my last swap--time to get back into the game! I've been waiting for the Studio Ghibli swap to come back around and am super excited to participate in it. One of our lovely mods is also keeping track of the questions within the swap board, if people are referencing my post for an up-to-date list. Now on to the usual stuff ( Read more... )

You can also ask for something similar and specifiy any changes you have in mind, or request something ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I updated. I've been kept rather busy between school and work, not to mention all the custom orders coming through and the quickly approaching holiday that I am making 4 gifts for (3 on the needles, 2 about halfway finished). It was supposed to be 5 gifts, but my brother is getting something else for Christmas and I will ( Read more... )

My stash has gotten rather out of control lately...which is going to stop happening  Except for my NGY clubs of course...I really need to start selfishly knitting so I can get through Christa's amazing yarns. And hopefully make some progress on my Beekeeper's Quilt (which if you have been following me, you will notice there has not been an update ( Read more... )

So my shop is starting to take off. I am mostly getting requests for skates online, but offline all sorts of things are being requested! I just finished two more orders of derby skates (one with a crocheted helmet n_n). Coming up I have 3 gift sets...one will be a pair of pink Mary Janes and a white ruffled cap with a yellow band and pink flower. ( Read more... )

My roller skate/derby booties are getting a lot of attention and tons of hits on my site even though they are sold out! I've had two requests through etsy to duplicate the black and green ones, as well as a couple requests off etsy to make black and teal ones (to represent the Aurora 88s). Even my local team, the DuPage County Derby Dames, have ( Read more... )

Just finishing up my 3 "new design" baby booties which are going up on etsy this weekend. They all have their own Rav entries as they were started as test ideas when talking to coworkers about what they wanted to order, before I decided to reopen my etsy shop ( Read more... )
