I'm entering the dAKnitters 'Knitting on a Budget' contest, and the rules ask that I mention it in my journal, so here's the contest, and here's my entry. If you like fiber arts, go make votings! Only vote for me if you think I rock the mostest, dolls. There are some seriously awesome craftsmen/women in that community, and I am probably not the awesomest.

In other news, I'm nearly done with the commission knitting. I'll be posting pics of the hats later today, I reckon. Only the gloves left to finish, and just the sewing-up there. One thing about getting a bastard of a head cold, once I was past the 'too sick to knit' stage, I had plenty of time to do nothing BUT knit. Well, and watch movies. Hellboy 2 was shockingly awesome, The Hulk was actually pretty dang good thanks to good old Ed Norton and a nicely understated script... um... and I watched a million episodes of Naruto too, shaddap, I was on NyQuil.
And yes, my dears, I washed off the germies before packing up your hats. I'll be sending them as soon as I feel walking to the mailing store wouldn't result in me plus hats head down in the gutter, gurgling softly. The comedy value of that event would not, I think, justify having to remake the hats.

Closed for commissions
Hey y'all. Just a quick update to let you know I can't take fiber art commissions for a while. I gotta focus on things a little closer to home. I need to be able to walk away from the internet for weeks at a time without pissing people off, and that means not making new commitments.
Don't worry, nobody's dead, the zombie apocalypse hasn't started, I'm just shifting my priorities. I'll be around off and on, I just can't say when.
Take care!
Open for yarn and knitting commissions!
I'm opening up four commission slots, get 'em while they're hot! I can do custom-dyed spinning fiber, handspun yarn, and snuzzly knitwear. Just drop me a DA note!

PRICES:
I'm afraid it's not easy to come up with a simple price scale, given all the variables involved. But this should give you a general idea:
HANDSPUN YARN:
Are you crafty? Ever worked with handspun before? Oooh it's a whole new world. You gotta try it. I will custom dye and spin the yarn of your dreams, and darlings, I am GOOD at this. Anything from cobweb lace to super-bulky, from simple sock yarn to one-of-a-kind art yarn plied with beads and ribbons. I usually hand

EDIT: Slots are all full for now, my loves. I'll update this entry when I open up again, so if you watch my journals you'll get a heads-up. Thanks so much!

Righto, time to pimp my mad sticks-and-string skillz again! Y'all know you want this snuzzly goodness. Just drop me a DA note!
See some of my work here!

Metanoia update!
The new chapter is up! Thanks for waiting so patiently, darlings. I know it took us a long time. I was pleasantly surprised how few people got cranky about waiting. (To those who did: you get what you pay for, sweetie. :D) After a short break for storyboarding, we'll be going back to weekly updates now. I do think doing the whole chapter at once improved the quality, but it also created a lot of pressure and suspense, which was kinda stressful. Hopefully doing a detailed storyboard before starting the next chapter will allow us to keep some of the improvement in artistic continuity without making y'all wait for months and months. ^_^
Oh, qui

I got my gloves on Friday, and they're marvelous! I'm gleeing as I type with warm, comfy hands.
Just a note, should you ever attempt a similar project, you might pick up a few more stitches around the thumbs. I can darn them a little closer without a problem, though, so it's not a major deal.
Do you know when you'll open commisions again? My manager loves them and is interested in getting some yarn from you.
