A Tall Order Update!

Hello Everyone!

I am so Excited!!

About a year ago I was contacted to make a sweater inspired by the over sized sweater featured in the movie Blue Crush 2. Read my previous post here: A Tall Order!!

Well this morning I got a visit from the young lady who wanted me to make the sweater. She stopped in to refresh our memories about what we had discussed last summer and to make a deposit to cover the cost of materials and initial labor.

So please stay tuned for more updates as I figure out how to make this beautiful sweater.

Fresh Off the Hook

  Saturday, March 15, 2014, I posted what was On the Hook on my A Bootie for your Baby Blog.
Today I am happy to post an update on my progress with the Big Boy's Cabled Golf Cap project, from Moogly.
  For this project I used Caron Simply Soft yarn and decreased the hook size to an H, to adjust the hat size since I was making it for my Little Man. I also skipped rows 12 & 13. I think that there is one more adjustment I will make the next time I use this pattern.
  With these adjustments the hat size came down to fit a 9 month old with room for growth.
  So without further ado...the final product.

Baby Blanket

  My new little nephew was born in December and I have been on such a crochet block and couldn't figure out what to make him. But then I had it, my idea.
  A basket weave granny square blanket. I started working it up, however, because I am using Carbon Simply Soft yarn, it was taking forever. So instead I am doing a simple basket weave blanket.
  It is going to be a small one to be used as a Carseat blanket. I absolutely love how it is working up.
  Stay tuned for the pattern to go with it.

Dear Fans

Dear Fans,
I normally do not get into the pricing debate, however today I feel like I need to voice my opinion. I want to encourage everyone to embrace the price that is placed on handmade items.
Handmade items are made by a person and not a machine. This means that items have a personal touch and are limited to how fast a person can complete each project. We, as handmade creators, can not mass produce each item at high rates of speed. So we replace that with a quality and love you will not find in mass produced items. We often stay up late, put off doing our chores, skip a meal or two and use our lunch breaks at work to finish an ordered item.
So I ask that when you are shopping around, please take note of the price. If you notice the price to be to good to be true keep digging, because it probably is to good to be true.  Find a handmade artisan and form a bond with that person, because they are giving you a little piece of themselves with every item you buy from them. And know that everything that goes into a handmade item is truly immeasurable.
Have a Blessed Day,
Lexy
