Well, it's been a couple of weeks of recovery, so I can blog again.
Comic-Con was exciting, exhausting, fun, and profitable. I was able to sell a bunch of the steampunk stuff, plus 5 of my little felted hats. One was sized for grownups, but the surprising thing was that grownups were buying the doll-sized hats for themselves, as fascinators. One doll did get a hat. I'm very happy that so many went to good homes.
Now that things have calmed down a bit, I have two projects lined up. One is Stephanie Tee. I'm trying it in a beautiful cashmere. I'll see how the sleeve test goes tonight. I need to do some serious measuring.
The second project is a brimmed hat Brimming by Lori Puthoff for my best bud, Dawn. I looked around on Etsy.com for some special yarn. It had to be a warm, non-wool yarn, so I found some "upcycled" cashmere worsted from SentimentalValu . She recycled the yarn from a sweater, then plied it to make it worsted. It's in the mail now. I'm excited. And the price is very reasonable. And I get to knit with *cashmere*!
When these projects are completed, I'll start on the Christmas knitting. Gee, it's only August and I'm thinking about the holidays. Can't wait for the cool weather!
