Branching out

Eric and I have been going back and forth over the wisdom of knitting for a craft fair and the consensus is that, economically, it doesn't make sense. The reality is that a washcloth takes one night to knit and I can sell it for about $5.00. Not a great return on investment. Felted hats take several nights to make and I can sell those for about $30.00.

On the other hand, sewing is fast. I mean really fast. So fast that I (and my professed hate/hate relationship with the d@mn machine) whipped this beauty out last night.


I might be hooked. I love this fabric, it is the most beautiful chocolate color with the bright blue and coral patterning.

As promised, I have a picture of Eric's scarf, finally. I still have about 8" to go, but we are rounding the final bend and I am glad.

What a gorgeous bag! The colors are beautiful. I'm glad to see the end is in sight for the scarf, which looks excellent by the way.

Beautiful bag Kris! So, I suppose clones of Eric's scarf for craft fairs are out of the question?
