Still alive.

Just last night I was able to have computer and internet working at the same time for the first time since early February. I charge my camera by USB-ing it to my computer, so it's being raised from the dead as I type this. I've made a bunch of stuff and organized most of my yarn in the meantime, and I do hope to have months' worth of pictures (in posting-every-day terms) once I've got everything photographed.

I got back into scrapbooking recently because I didn't seem to be making anything but hats and scarves (and it's finally coming into spring here in New York where the manchild and I are currently stationed), so while maybe I can sell those to my Aussie friends, I do need more summery things to sell locally, and now that I can access Ravelry and sites like it, I can go for ideas.

I have taken a crack at summery shawls (mixed success) and bags (eh...but I'll keep trying), but I want other stuff to do, some idea that I can do my way so that it becomes a unique design like my ruffle scarves and even the scrunchies.

Happy crafting, and I'll take pics of the new scrapbook journal pages too!

And for anyone who's interested, the old scrapbooking pages are at http://heathermacart.blogspot.com/. :)

Beanie Kick, Continued.

The color scheme of this first one is my favorite. This one is more kid-sized, but if I have enough white Hometown USA yarn, I might make myself one.

This one was going to be for Fizzy, in Collingwood Magpies colors, but it came out rather too long, so I'm gonna make her another this one. This one'll wind up in the shop. :)

This one was just for fun. I really like working with the Hometown USA yarn, whether crochet or Knifty Knitter--one of these days I'll make something with it in real knitting.

One of my first beanies. Not bad, eh?

This one I made long before I got either set of Knifty Knitter circles (just yesterday I got the "perfect for adult hats" ring loom, because of course they wouldn't sell it separately!), because I have so much Hometown USA yarn after taking apart Blankiezilla, since I'm making her a more reasonably sized Tetris blanket out of Caron SimplySoft.

Hope you liked! :)

What to do with this thing?

I found some yarn I'd wrapped up together--left over from the red-white-and-blue fuzzy blankies--but all I had enough for, really...was a brim, and one more row since I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it off with what little give you get after making a brim.

A bowl of some sort, maybe?

What do you think?

More beanies!

I've been listening to lots of audiobooks and podcasts and making these. Yay for fun yarns to play with, and looms! (Not that I'll ever give up crochet. I just have a new shiny.)

Another Waldo Hat. :)

I know, still needs the poofy thing at the top. I haven't found my poof-maker yet, and as you can tell from the last one, jury-rigging the poofs is not my strong suit. ;P

Beanie in progress.

I have a set of four new circle looms, so there will be a bunch of new Knifty Knitter stuff as I play with my new toys. :)
