So I Made a Few More

You know me, once I get going I keep going.  And having just one eyeglass case in the shop was silly.  So I made three more!

People were admiring the one I did for myself in black, white, and grey, so I added a similar one to the shop.

And then I went ahead and did one in greens and khakis.  It's a pretty nifty color scheme, if I do say so myself.  This one's in the shop here.

And then I went really girlie with this one, in a pink, red, and aqua floral print with some polka dots thrown in for god measure.

Like 'em?

Flossie the Cow... Sixteen Times Over

I took individual photos of the cows I made since each one's a bit different, and here they are!

 This is the one I gave to a friend at work.  Cows are her favorite animal, and she's been great to me since I started there.  She said she wanted to buy one, but no way was I going to charge her.  She's been too awesome, looking out for me.

 These three are listed in the toy section of Fabric of My Mind.

I love how this one looks so direct, like a good friend who's about to tell you something important.

And this one with the pinkish purple eyes looks so inquisitive!

While this cutie looks kind of needy, like a puppy.

Two of the rest are going to my nephews for Chanukah and Christmas, and the other ten to my fellow cast and crew members.

So... who wants one?

Another Great Gift Idea!

I knitted this scarf in vintage cream acrylic yarn and Vanna's Choice black acrylic yarn for a great disappearing stripe pattern that works for men or women.

The cream yarn I got at an estate sale, in brand new skeins.  The black yarn has a slightly funnier story.  My sister was doing a Winnie the Pooh latch hook rug for my nephew, and they shortchanged her on the black yarn pieces!  She didn't realize I save everything and actually have latch hook yarn from my younger days (remember Nathaniel?  His hair was old leftover latch hook yarn!)  So she went to one of the craft stores and actually bought a whole new skein of soft black yarn.  For three pieces.  Yes, really.  She cut the three pieces... and then was left with all the remaining yarn.  As a non-knitter.

So she gave it to me!  And some of it ended up in this awesome scarf that I actually really love.  It's all stockinette stitch, with ribbed ends to keep them from curling.  And I may just have to make another for myself.

Meanwhile, you can purchase this one here.
