I have a lot of things to report. First off, I am going to be selling my crocheted items at The DIY Trunk Show on November 17. I am nervous as hell. I´ve never done anything quite like this before. I´ve decided that I am goin to be selling a lot of things that I´ve already been making (like the mesh poncho, mesh wrap, mesh jacket, Mandisa head wrap). But I am also going to make some scarves, hats, different types of ponchos, and sweaters as well. I´ve thought about throwing in some baby items, but that might be a bit too diverse. I am nervous because I haven´t really started making a lot of merchandise. So I am going to be a busy bee in the month of October. I hope I don´t fail. sigh.
Secondly, I have been a yarn whore again. I won´t say how much I spent, but I´ve been buying yarn at Smiley´s Yarns (they had a sale) AND at Joann´s (who had a sale and free shipping). The big thing at Smiley´s was that they were selling Lion Brand Bouclé for $.99. It´s like, I couldn´t let that stay in the store. I also bought enough Lion Brand Thick and Quick Chenille (in black) to make me a pea coat. i am pretty excited about this actually. I realize that I don´t make enough items for myself.
Well, I bought damn near a hundred skeins of the bouclé in random colors (which will make some great wraps for the DIY Trunk Show). And I bought a lot of regular worsted acrylic and homespun from Joann´s. So i´m pretty geeked. There´s a new place that I have decided to look for cheap yarn: yarnsale.com. I also want to get some large tunisian hooks from goshyarnit.com.
Finally, I´ve designed a nice v-neck sweater vest. I am very excited and cannot wait to post pictures.
hey Sheldon,
Good luck with the DIY Trunk Show......sounds interesting.
Do you have business cards? If not, go to www.vistprint.com, they're pretty reasonable.
Make alot of hats and scarves, it'll be chilly by then.
Take care
P.S.
And I thought I was the only 'yarn whore'!!!! LOL
