Kiss My Knits!

An unforeseen development.

Well, the teachers will not be getting flower washcloths. I’ll probably do angel earrings, which I can slap together much faster.

Why no flower washcloths?

I got an e-mail from a guy in the UK wanting 20 Jayne hats by the end of July for a fan table at a convention in Birmingham. As near as I can tell, it’s the Memorabilia convention. Let’s see… 60 days, 20 hats, takes me about 2-3 days to make a hat depending on what else is going on (DR weddings come first!) so that’s… all my knitting time.

I wonder if I’d get tired of knitting the exact same thing 20 times in a row, even if it were a Jayne hat. Hmmm. It is enough money to cover my gas and hotel getting me to Simucon – but I probably wouldn’t have time to make anything new for my table there.

Argh! Decisions, decisions! I’m leaning toward “do it” but am uncertain. Thoughts?

ETA: I decided to do it. Hats completed: 1!

    Go for it. You can’t let down a horde of rabid Jayne fans.

    You’ll be able to do a Jayne hat in your sleep after this commission. 🙂

    Ditto what Bryan said!

    Just speaking for myself – I think that would get really old, really quickly. Spending all of my knitting time making the same thing over and over? *shudder*.

    Can you tell I’m not one of those “process knitters?” 😉

    Tedious, probably

    But I’d do it…what a great business opportunity!
