I am currently working on a pair of fingerless mittens Susie's Reading Mitts that were supposed to be a weekend project 2 WEEKENDS AGO! Anyway, I am almost halfway through the second one, hope to finish it today. They are just for me.
Also on the needles, my ongoing project, a shawl/wrap for my mother. I got the lace pattern from a pattern for fingerless mitts. I am using I LOVE THIS YARN! (Hobby Lobby) in Country Blue, which is very pretty and soft. I think it will be nice and cozy for Mom during the cold Ohio winter. I am hoping to finish it as a Christmas gift.
Mom's Shawl
I have recently become interested in the idea of making accessories to sell. I'm thinking of opening an Etsy shop, renting a space at a local craft mall, and maybe even trying some shows. I have lots of ideas in mind, and I have kind of thought that I would spend this year working on developing a line of products, then maybe starting to sell next year. However, the lady I spoke to at the craft mall said that the holiday season is the best time to sell (of course) and since the spaces rent for 6 mos at a time, I should really try to get one by July 1st. The line of products I'm thinking of is based on a beach theme and there's no way I could have enough ready to go by then; but I'm tossing around the idea of whipping up some Christmas ornaments and the like for this year. Hmmmmm.... what to do, what to do?
