I took a break from knitting the afghan to work on another
Jayne hat at the Laundromat. A lady there said she liked the colors I was using
(gold and orange). I’m almost done with the gold part and then red is next for
the ear flaps. I think the next one I make will use Woolease though. I don’t
care for the garish colors the pattern writer chose. I think the one in the TV
series looks a lot more muted. I’ve also had to re-write the pattern because I
think her proportions were off. The ear flaps need to be longer, and I’d rather
decrease the crown more so it comes to a smoother top instead of being gathered
with the drawstring method, which leaves it bumpy on top. Her pattern gave me a
leaping off point, but now I see how to fix it. It’s hard to replicate something
when you are not holding the original in your hands.
I also need to work on my lavender loom scarf. I don’t want
it to fall between the cracks. Too many
projects, too little time.
We found a good
t-shirt shop so we’ll be able to make air brushed t-shirts again soon. I
want to make some to publicize my businesses. Or I may buy them from my Zazzle
shop. If I buy them I can have full colored photos put on them. If I air brush
the shirts they will be much more simplistic since I only have rudimentary air
brushing skills. I’d like to get better at silk screened t-shirts but I’ve yet
to figure out how to use the photo emulsion to make really intricate designs.
Right now the only method I know is the cut stencil method.
