new things

so, i finished my wrap. it. is. amazing. maybe I'll get jer to take some pictures of me in it. i love it. and I was wondering what to do with this purple yarn that I bought myself over a year ago, and I found the perfect thing. My family thinks I can sell them for around $70, they take two and a quarter skeins of yarn and, now that I know what I'm doing, will be fairly uncomplicated to make. I'm excited. I currently have the stock pile to make a taupe one and a light teal - almost a periwinkle colored one.

I also have been working on knitted lace a-fix to bottles. it sounds strange. but, it will be amazing. and since I can use recycled salsa jars, liquor bottles, jams jars, just anything glass really, it'll be really fun locating interesting bottles to embellish. I'm also going to a-fix pearls, because I LOVE pearls, and maybe eventually ribbon.

In my head, my store style is pretty concrete today. but that doesn't reflect on-line or here, so I need to put up more inspiration photos and set up a good little studio situation for taking pictures of my pindles and what-nots. I think the setting up of the studio - procuring the correct accessories and backdrop materials will be one of the hardest things. although, I do have some of it already. like silver platters. thinking of which my mother has a bunch in her garage that were her mothers that she said I'm welcome to have. I just have to wade through the gobs of junk, bugs and dust to get to the box that has all these platters and bowls and silver bits.

today, today is a good day in knitting land. I'm looking forward to two unique ideas that aren't on etsy anywhere - the style of wrap I've done and embellished bottles with knitted lace and pearls. it's nice to have unique ideas. pindles are not entirely unique, but I'll still be making them, because they are fun and have received a little bit of hubbub, which is kinda awesome.
