More Chocolate

Hand Made Now! market

Heather has put up a great post about our stall at the Neighbourgoods Market on Saturday, here.

Doilies!

New crochet brooches, finished just in time for the Biscuit Mill market on Saturday. I had badges made up in plain black or white, and crocheted the covers.

"Someone's stolen it!"
"NO!!"

"Ok, ok ... let's look again."

"WHAT?"
"This is all I found! I don't know where the rest is - I looked everywhere!"

The text reads:
"What's going on?"

"Sarah, are you ok?"
"I can't find it!!"

I'm not sure about this hatching - it looked great in pencil. I'll persist, at least for a bit, and redraw without hatching if it really bothers me later....

"Anyone feel like some chocolate?"
"I'll go get it!"

The text reads:
"More wine?"
"Sure."

"Supper was GOOD"
"Mmm..."

New comic: Chocolate

The text reads:

"This is nice, hey?"
"Mmm..."

Hot Feet

There hasn't been much knitting going on here for a while, but I fixed that this weekend with my secret sock solution. I loved these new shoes, but on really hot days - well, things became a little unfriendly. Using this pattern for Mary Jane slippers, I tried them in bamboo (because there was some lying around), leaving off the strap. Bamboo seems to take a long time to dry after washing, and has no memory, so I tried cotton, making the heel shallower and the toe shorter.

There were some attempts to make pretty socks that would show a picot edge around top of the shoe, but they came to nothing except some colourful cussing.

And these are crochet-covered badges with beads crocheted in. Not too sure about the end result, but it was worth trying as an experiment.

End of Poison

The text reads: "That's ridiculous - apples don't just grow on trees."
