D-con comissions are open! (again)

D-con is actually happening this year so any commissions are most welcome to collect there (I haven't got a table yet but that will be fixed soon enough).

I think I'm also going to try and have accessories that are made of fabric as well as the knitted stuff.

The Easter Chicks are coming back too and (maybe) in greater numbers this year because they sold so fast last year.

More details are in this post.

 

Just a quick question....

Would anybody be interested in commisioning one of my knitted accessories?

I have created a second blog for commissions that can be accessed through my profile where I can post images of completed commissions and other things I can't keep but have made.

I've been told it's a good way to create or supplement an income and with a dangerously big obsession with Lolita clothes I may need that.  It would obviously depend on how much free time I had and if there were any deadlines for course work with Uni but during down time I would be able to do commission's like the knitted accessories in this post and during the holidays things like those found in this post.

If so, is there anybody out there who can help me by being my commission mentor? (help me with pricing, shipping, payments and just how to deal with stuff).

Another idea is that I open an Etsy shop to sell the things I make out of boredom or procrastination (there's only so many mug hugs you can knit and keep before people start thinking you're a loon) but for a lower price than the commissions.

First post of the year

This is my first post the year (Hooray!) and I want to thank anybody who has been reading my blog that I haven't (literally) prodded into doing so.

I've been meaning to write a post since the first of the month but I have had no idea what to write about.

I have several posts in draft form that I need to finish for this blog and my other blog. These include posts covering my trip to Dublin in early November (I think I might split that into two posts rather than keeping it just as one), several knitting projects (like an accidentally mobius snood), cross stitch, the finishing of my Knives Chau inspired scarf (I'm on the last section), and weather or not I will be going ahead with D-con knitting as it seems it might not be happening this year (I may just start knitting anyway and try to get a table at Auchinawa instead).

I spent my new year in with my sister in Stirling we were originally going to go to the top of the Wallace Monument to watch the fireworks from the castle but we got scared halfway up and on our way down we realised there was just as good a view from the bottom of the hill so we just sat on a wall and watched the fireworks from there.
I hope that all of your celebrations of the mid-winter and new year/hogmany sort went well (that is, if you can remember them)
