seed stitch [part deux]

I just sold my first hat. I just sold something I made. I always give BFF a hard time because she tries to sell the things she makes for dirt cheep. Now I love a good bargain as much as the next person and I'm not trying to encourage her to sell her stuff for any exorbitant price. I just don't want her to every undervalue her creativity. Then I was asked what I wanted for the seed stitch hat I made. Gulp. Putting a price on my own creativity, on the manifestation of an idea is much harder than I ever thought. But I did it.

I want to add that for the patter of the seed stitch hat 75 stitches is probably too many unless you have an unusually large noggin. I would think that 70 stitches is probably good. Or you could just use a smaller needle. That does take a bit of the fun away though. I love how quickly a project goes on my 11s. I also love how nubby it makes the seed stitch.

Quite the day...

house warming neck warmers?

So, I'm thrilled that Creme Bru-love-me is not made of pudding.

I've been craig's-listing (aka, renter's porn) and I am really frustrated that I have 2 months left. I want to go now. NOW. I would also like to bottle the ocean and keep it on the mantle.

House warming neck warmers, of course! Pick your color.

I'm thrilled that it's not because then when I make it there will be more than one person eating it.

I don't see what's so impossible about bottling up the ocean. It's like solving a problem like Maria.
