White Fuzzy Scarf

I'm actually rather proud of this pic, and a few others with me in them that I'll be posting over the next several days. Apparently I'm not nearly as ugly as I usually think I am. ;)

Also, these are really, really fun to make. I just wish that I could buy the fun fur yarn in bulk because it's so pricey and you get so little of it! (compared to, say, a giant skein of boucle)

With apologies for not taking more pictures before I brought them to Peggy.



Ruffle scarves! And while I sold them to Peggy for $10 each, she's selling them to customers for $20 each! I'm not getting the best deal here, but at least I'm learning what my stuff will sell for.

That'll be good to know for when I have enough product (and funds) for a craft fair booth!

Hai. Not dead, and not moved on to other hobbies.

Just a big move, that's all.

We left Alaska the Friday before last and arrived in Syracuse on Saturday afternoon (or morning...I was pretty out of it after all that flying and layover-ing), and we've been at Fort Drum, NY now for about a week and a half. There are some things I'm really liking and a bunch of stuff that's really irksome (but I'll save that for my new-ish new home blog, Army Issue Crackerbox).

And I've been doing a lot of crocheting lately. There's a booth at the PX of knitted and crocheted goods and I talked to the lady who runs it about selling my stuff there. We decided that I would "wholesale" stuff to her instead of waiting for a sale and then her and the PX getting their 20% each commission. I'm making less money this way but I am still making a profit, and with all we're having to pay for out of pocket here every little bit helps. I'll post pictures sometime this week or next week.

Black Beanie - Just Started.

Again with the Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn. I took apart the Tetris Blanket and that's the yarn I've been using for these quick pieces.

Orange Scarf.

Practice piece for learning the arcade stitch. It came out pretty well but my rule is that first pieces are gifts, so this time...it's a giveaway!

First person to comment wins the scarf.
