This year has already been HUGE! Can I get an “amen?” If you’ve followed us here and there, you know its been a wild week and a half. Through the stretch where the kids were at school, it was unbelievably freezing out, and our van stopped blowing any heat whatsoever. We rocked our share of car trouble, bad weather, readjusting back into school onto to be taken out, thanks to an active covid case. Now we’re at two, and very likely three, which I’ll likely tell you more about later on. Its been so busy here, and that is only the stuff I put out here online. Obviously not everything we go through ends up here, but you’ll just have to take my word for it – it is a special kind of misery over here.
Aaaaanyway…
Remember that lovely plaid blanket I made earlier this year? Lol! “Earlier this year” sounds SO funny 😆 But its true.
So I’ve gone on to make a few other things, and I can’t show you all of it, but I will show you some!
I made my first basket just the other day.
Full disclosure – I dont love the handles, and I’ll do them differently next time. But otherwise I really love it! I love the stitch pattern, and it has good structure! It’ll look more how I originally pictured it if I change the handles. I’ll absolutely be making more soon. They come together pretty quick.
And then I made this! Its a smaller throw blanket, but I believe I previewed it a while ago.
I received a lot of love on it, which I truly did not expect, as I was basically using up yarn that I didn’t really care for. It didn’t even make it sale, as it was spoken for before it was even off my hook. Thank you, friends, for wanting to support me 💜I’m thinking of finally making a page, just so prices are out there and people know what to expect from me. Pricing items is the WORST part of selling my things, and I can’t help but feel, if I could get out of my own way, I could have some genuine success here.
Question – While we have covid in our house, am I not allowed to hand out my items? Whats the protocol there? Anyone know? If I wash up a blanket, bag it up, and leave it out, is that safe? Ugh. I hate not knowing. I HATE the red tape that comes with covid.
