Feb. Week 4

So I somehow got absolutely none of the things on my list done this past week. I did however get two giant flower orders and and order to sew up some aprons..which will be fun because I haven't done that before. I didn't get any bags done but I don have about 10 cut and pinned to make, now I just have to make them, but thats after I finish that flower order and the aprons, what a busy week this will be.

Feb. Week 3

I finished my neckwarmer, its awesome! It doubles as a head wrap. Here's the picture..it's currently freezing in my house!
So no loop tags, I'm looking though. As for project bags, my totals are 5 small and 7 sock, I will reach this goal by the end of the week. I've listed three new items this past week but I need to take pictures so that I have something to list this week. I wrote out my cable pattern now I just need to make a prototype for guage because that was the one thing I forgot to do when I made those alpaca ones. Personal Achievement!!: Jordan and I made and canned our own strawberry jam!! Off to iron fabric for project bags, maybe I can get some in my etsy shop this week.

February Goals

So this month what to do. I think my 4 goals this month are 1. Get loop tags made with my logo so I can sew them into the project bags. 2. Make 10 small project bags and 10 sock project bags. So far I have 3 small and 3 sock bags made up. 3. List 3 new items on etsy a week. 4. Write out cabled fingerless glove pattern for sale. My personal goal this month is to get my neckwarmer done for myself and try to get the raglan and placket shaping for Jordan's henley finished.

I'm exhausted, this is what happens when you start being diligent with your time. Parting shots though. The inside and outside of one of the sock project bags, they are reversible! I will update at the end of the week with my progress and some of the product photos!

Well this is going to be short and sweet today. I epically failed to finish my eye pods goal. But I'm okay with that. I accomplished my project bag goal, which I'm excited about because I have so many lined up ready to make for next month. Patterns are at a stand still. I'll update later.

January Goals Update

So this week was crazy busy again, but I think that I'm starting to adjust, or at least get organized. I'm still not getting as much as I wanted done, but I am realizing that I'm only human. I'm also realizing that I have spent all my alotted amount 'all-nighters' for life. As for my goals this month I think I'm doing pretty good but I'm down to crunch time. I have 5 eye pods done. Two reversible bags finished...I'm thinking about creating a sock project size in addition to the small project size. I've made up 3 new patterns I just have to type them up. The facebook likes are fulfilled as well, Yay!. Lets see if I can reach my goals or at least get close, so far I have 50% done but lets go for 100 right? I also have to think about what my goals for next month will be..hmm.

Well new years resolutions

So much for one of my resolutions, keep up with my blog at least on a week or bi-weekly basis. But here is my stumbling block, resolution. I am going a different route. I am going to have goals each month that I am going to achieve that way at the end of the year I'm not sitting there waiting for the ball to drop and thinking about all these amazing resolutions I crapped out on. So for the month of January I have put up 4goals. 1. Make 10 eyeglass cases in 10 colors. 2. Make 10 reversible project bags. 3. Make 3 new patterns and get them printed out and ready to be sold. 4. Get 3 more followers on my facebook fan page. If you want to be apart of my last goal for the month look me up on facebook, KnittedWaveStudio. Well I will update at the end of the week to see what I have accomplished.

Whoooray for finished blankets!

It's finished the log cabin blanket was blocked and packed up in the wee hours of the morning and dropped it off at the post office. Thank goodness it's over. Don't get me wrong I loved making it for my friend. I learned a new technique and refined my design process by making it. I have taken away from this that I a) respect the heck out of women who make these afghans all the time and b) I won't ever make a blanket larger than a baby blanket or a lapghan. It just takes up so much time that you are running off of love and not money, which is totally awesome when your doing it for the love of it but its not a practical thing for me to do again. So having said that I went through blanket detox by working on a simple striped scarf and a beaded handle for a beautiful bag and hat combo that is a class over at the Knit N Knibble. If you're in the Tampa area check it out. Once my detox is over I will begin work on moebius neckwarmers and Dr. Who Scarves. They will be on sale in my shop in the coming weeks. I will post my progress of those on here. ciao
