fun shawl, warm shawl

I made this one for my mommy. she raves on and on about it and says that I should make more for myself because i live in chicago. I suppose i should but i fail to make anything for myself ever. well we'll see.

granny shoulders

Well this looks like a granny caplet but when you take a look at the design and the yarn i think it would be a great addition to a plain camisole or a white shirt, but here you will see my mom with her white sweater, i would think you shouldn't wear it like that, but it can be worn anyway you like it. I made this for my sister and stole it from her for this photo.

hobo scarf

Now this is knitted scarf that has four different strips, with three different colors on one strip, connected by bobble balls. A lot? I know. but it's really cool when you wrap it around your neck as you'll see above. And it is modeled by my lovely mother! :o) Oh, and I made this for my sister. She seems to love it. She wears it everday I hear.

Technicolor dream blanket

This is a blanket I made from the Stitch and Bitch Happy Hooker book. I decided I was going to make a blanket for my best friend who just got married. This blanket is a testament to her personality. I think it's fun. It's also fun because I made it double sided when connecting the squares.

Daddy's day blanket of love!

This blanket I made for my daddy for daddy's day. He loves it, but unfortunately it's been confiscated by my whole family :o). This is by far the warmest blanket in the house and the most comfortable (and I'm not just saying that because i made it...). There is a full scale of the blanket and then a close up to show the design. This is also a a crochet blanket, I didn't specify. Fun hugh? It took blood sweet and tears to make that blanket. No, no really but it makes me happy that everyone carries it around the house.

Let me blanket you with warmth and soup

I sat in my house this weekend with a blanket that I was crocheting resting on my lap and the cold frigid air was blowing through my window (through a crack that should have been fixed by our landlord...), but I didn't care as my hands were working with the yarn creating something magnificent. All kinds of colors spilled across my lap and a small smile crept at my lips in my meditative state.

Now, I've made the decision that I'm am going to sell my goods. I am going to sell the things that I spend hours upon hours slaving at for months. I say this abruptly because I feel like it's breaking the creed of knitters or crocheters. You usually just make things and give them away and get a little 'thank you' in return, a little thank you when people have no idea what you have just given them. You have given them a little piece of you that you have created and all you get is a meager 'thanks'.

The same goes for my fiance who is a cook. He makes wonderful soups and dishes and the only thing he gets in return is 'thanks'. Luckily he has a fiance who makes orgasmic sounds when I eat so he really really knows how much I appreciate his work.

So in conclusion, the guilt is done. We are going to charge for what we love to do. We are going to get our currency dang it, and we will still receive our smiles and 'thanks' in return with a little moolah in our pockets. :) We hope we can put a smile on your face too!
