Socks, shop, and Spin Control

Some crazy woman decided that for Christmas everyone in the family would get hand knit socks who did not already have a pair. Oh yeah that was me.

 

Sometimes I wonder about my own sanity.

 

Good news is I do have one pair made, one on the needles, and the yarn for two more pairs. I still have to buy yarn for three more pairs. Also on the holiday checklist: Sheldon the turtle, A Haruni lace shawl, a watch cap and cowl set, an OpArt blanket, a set of mittens, a scarf, a lace bag, and a coffee cup coozie. That's not unreasonable, is it? I also have two different sets of roving to spin. Going to be fun huh?

 

Since my last post, I sold two more sets of stitch markers. I'll be updating my shop again on Sunday with at least five new stitch marker sets. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I can cut costs by ordering in bulk online. I'm crunching the numbers and weighing the pros and cons.

 

I will soon have some different offerings stitch marker wise within a week or two. I'll update and let you know before hand. I'm still trying to keep my stitch marker sets one of a kind, because I personally like the idea myself. But what is your opinion?

 

And last but not least I’ve been eyeing the spinner’s control cards out, but the seem unreasonably priced to me.  I know they’re a great tool and I really would like one, but I just cannot make myself spend $16+ on one, so I made one of my own using MS Works Word Processor.  It doesn’t have as many options as the store bought one, but I think it work well enough for me. 

 

And that is what has been up with me.  What about you?
