Jayne hat orders have slacked off some, although I’m still getting them. It’s all to the good, though. I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way I can fill gift requests is to start slotting them into the queue as if they’re paid orders. Otherwise they get pushed to the back and never done. I started Tyrathia’s scarf… when? April? Oy. It’s a little further along than this picture,<\/a> but not much.<\/p>\n

I’ve started offering knitting kits for the Jayne hats, with pattern and helpful tips, pompom, and enough yarn to knit a men’s hat. Those have been going like hotcakes this week, as everybody suddenly realizes, “Oh, crap, I haven’t made my hat yet!”<\/p>\n

I’m contemplating setting aside part of wearwithstyle specifically to sell patterns – I’ve got some cute ones. And my daughter gave me an idea yesterday for something that I think would be quick, fun, and sellable.<\/p>\n

Also, I’d like to knit her a sweater that looks like the shirt worn by JoJo of “JoJo’s Circus” on Playhouse Disney.
\n\"JoJo\"
\nWe don’t get anything but basic cable, but my father is so sweet and records the shows for my daughter. She loves clowns, and she wants to be JoJo for Halloween, although I think the Disney store costume may be too small. I had to drive my cousin’s family somewhere yesterday, and I noticed that my six year old girl is as tall as their ten year old son. She’ll outstrip me easily before long. Sometimes it can be tough to find cute girly things that aren’t all Brittney-fied.<\/p>\n

Of course, for the sweater, I’d have to find the time to make up the pattern and then to knit it. If I did, I’d probably offer the pattern for free, since House of Mouse is notoriously touchy about people selling Disney-related paraphernalia.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to some quality knitting time during “Lost” tonight. We’d better hear about the raft, or I’ll be very irritated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
