Sparkles and Glitz

I finished the glitter hat with sequins that I was working on last time I updated this blog. I had a knit and purl pattern on it that I think shows up better in this photo than the one before. I haven't worn it yet, still waiting for a special occasion to pull it out. I wear hats all the time, that I've made and I think that they make it better for me while I'm growing my hair out. I cut off 12 inches and it was really short for about the past six months, like shaved at the neck and not much longer going up, like how middle aged women wear there hair. And now I'm growing it out, but it has a nasty habit of standing straight up on end, and I don't think that that's very attractive, so I'm wearing hats pretty much non-stop.

I also finished a ten stitch Tunisian crochet blanket that I started just a couple of days ago. I really liked working on this blanket, it was addicting to just make short rows, back and forth. And with Tunisian crochet you don't have to turn your work every row, or learn how to knit backwards. I think that I'm going to make another one with two colors spiraling around at the same time, because I like how that looks. This one I started with one variegated, and then did a round of tan, and then another variegated skein and then another round of the tan. I really like how it turned out. I used a size 10 Tunisian crochet hook. And all the variegated yarn was Red Heart Super Saver, and the tan was a Caron Simply One Pound. This blanket will go to Project Linus.

The next one that I am going to make is going to be a bright green with a steel blue spiraling around each other, I think that it will look interesting.

I also took pictures for my etsy shop of my knitted items, but am waffling as to whether they are nice enough to put up. I think that they look alright, but all the advice on sites from Pinterest and other blogs says to make a light box and have a white background, but I don't see why you couldn't have a nice setting for your background as well. I will decide in the next couple of days, at the very worst I could post them, see if they get any hits, and then if they don't take them down and re-do the pictures. I think I might have to do that with my bags that I put up anyways. I'm not sure. I'm just trying to wing it as I go.
