Milwaukee Block Party


It's con season again and I've been lucky enough to be invited to vend at a handful! The only one I could make work so far in my schedule is the Milwaukee Block Party (11am-4pm on June 21st 2015 at 818 S Water St. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53204). https://www.facebook.com/events/1573563502932866/

I attended the May block party and was super impressed, so I'm really excited to sell my goodies there in a few weeks. 

As a teaser for what I plan to sell, here's a few pictures of the things I've been working on to get ready:

"Furiosa's Redemption"

An array of geeky lotion bars. 


A new knitted bow tie pattern (because bow ties are cool). 

"Pocket Universe" and other styles of cute 1-project knitting bags. 

Hope to see you there!

Staghorn Scarf Pattern

Staghorn                                   The yarn you use and needle size probably doesn't make a lick of a difference. I used Vanna White's line of yarn because I loved the color, it was super soft, and cheap. It took 1 1/2 balls of yarn. I used size 10 1/2 needles (6.5 mm). Abbreviations: k: knit p: purl sl1kw: slip 1st stitch knit-wise sl1pw: slip 1st stitch purl-wise BC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the back, k2, k2 from cable needle FC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the front, k2, k2 from cable needle Cast on 30 stitches. Row 1 (WS and   all  other wrong side rows): sl1pw, k2, p2, k2, p16, k2, p2, k2, p1. Row 2: sl1kw, p2, k2, p2, k4, BC, FC, k4, p2, k2, p2, k1.  Row 4: sl1kw,  p2, k2, p2, k2, BC, k4, FC, k2, p2, k2, p2, k1. Row 6: sl1kw,  p2, k2, p2, BC, k8, FC, p2, k2,  p2...

How to waste $28 worth of yarn.

1. Don't gauge a damn thing. 2. Just wing the entire pattern like an idiot. 3. Throw it in the washer to give it a "light felt" for 5-10 minutes, but then proceed to forget about it for an hour. 4. Shrink it so it's so small nothing fits in it... >. IN OTHER NEWS. I got my first non-mom haircut ever, and my first one in 12 years! BEFORE: AFTER: I
