What I've been doing...

I made another huge bouquet of flowers...

I uploaded 2 new patterns to etsy...

Oh! Did I mention I got another sale? 2 sales!!! I'm so excited.

Only the best of etsy, my showcasing blog for new etsy shops, has another showcase up! Check it out. http://onlythebestofetsy.blogspot.com/2009/04/third-showcase.html

I've saved the best for last... I donated crochet patterns to Phat Fiber! If you don't know what it is, check it out here. I would try to explain it to you, except it's kind of hard to explain. :]
You can see my little octopi crafts button on the contributors page. How cool is that? I even have my own little mini page! Clearly I am way to excited about this.

I'm still alive...

I made my first sale! :] Wayyy happy. YAY for Etsy!

On other notes, I am trying my hand at another pair of socks. Pray for me! =)
I think they are coming along way better, they are very tiny gauge, and toe-up. I have part of the toe done. YAY again!

I made a treasury!

My first ever, and I have to say it was fun. It's based on my favorite animal... Octopi!
Take a look!

Octopi Treasury

I've also started a blog for showcasing new etsy shops with little or no sales. Check it out! :]

WOW, long time no post! :]

I have been spinning and dying! Take a peek:

This yarn looks wayyy prettier in real life! I dyed some of my corriedale roving, then spun this up. I used grape kool-aid. This is my third hand-spun yarn. I'm getting better!

The yarn on top was made with some roving from moonlight and laughter plied with some mohair from natchwoolie.
The single on the bottom is the same moonlight and laughter roving, only it isn't plied.

A real post now...

Okay, here we go! Here's what I've been working on:

• Brea Bag: It's a little complicated, but I want (I almost wrote wantED, but then I slapped myself and said, "Andrea! You WANT to knit this. This is an awesome, perfect bag." LOL) the challenge.
  

• Recycled/T-shirt Yarn Basket: Did I tell you? I started a group on Ravelry specifically for T-shirt yarn. Check it out! The current knit/crochet along is a basket made out of t-shirt yarn.

Now here's the project you have ALL been waiting for. ;] The project that involves YOU! I have been mentioning it, now here it is!!! Drum roll, please! LOL- Okay. No more dilly-dallying. Here's the project.

I am making this doll, and I am going to donate it to an orphanage. I got to thinking, and I realized that what this doll is going to need is a couple of accessories. That's when I thought of you guys. I could crochet the doll, then you guys could make some accessories! Just something small, like maybe a necklace for it, or a sweater. Maybe a little skirt. You could even make it a dog! Or a book. A little mini book! You could make ANYTHING for it, the only restriction is that it has to be tiny. Please let me know if you are interested! It's for a good cause. Let me know if you have any questions!

Knitting Needles!

Hey do you guys like to knit? I have some new items in my etsy shop that might interest you knitters! :] Please tell me if you like 'em!
