preeety crafty

Today I have come to a decision. Upon reading my very own blog, I have noticed that there are a great deal of small posts written in the same day, so I will from now on strive to maintain the number of posts to 1 per day, on which all the subjects to be addressed shall be contained. (I read Meg Cabot’s A Little Scandal today, which answers to the proper use of The Queen’s English. Fancy that, huh?)

I have also determined to attempt for each post having at least one photo of an Ongoing or Finished Project, to make things a bit more interesting. Considering I don’t really own a camera, that part of the new concocted plan is in abeyance, conditional to my mother’s good will in lending me the use of her own camera, which, if taking place, will do so on week ends. Therefore I beg of you some patience on the subject. I shall attempt to photograph all the projects I have either finished or worked on during the week on Sundays, which is when my dear Mater has the guardianship of my offspring, thus allowing us to make the exchange of goods – one boy for one camera. Now, this is not a particularly good camera we speak of, otherwise I would be tempted to make the arrangement a permanent one. Just pulling your leg there, my baby is precious to myself and his Pater.

So now we shall continue to the actual news.

Sometime ago, I posted on this publication a desire to obtain a certain product, which unfortunately, due to shipping costs, is not available for me. Pease, being the good mate she is, attempted a lift of spirits by stating that I would be able, if sorely tempted, to produce one of my very own. So, I sat on the idea for quite some time, mulling over it, and came up with the following:

and by another angle:

I am perfectly aware of the dreadful condition of the pictures, but that unfortunately cannot be helped. The concoction is quite useful, and very well designed, I might add. The yarn does not escape one’s finger, and neither does it rub said finger raw. The fit is perfect, tied by laces in a most comfortable position, and such laces are in no contact with the skin, thus not abrading the area. Quite nicely done if I say so myself.

On the subject of our estimated Ripple Blanket, I am proud to announce we now have pictures of it’s progress, in quite an excellent quality. The actual process is still at the moment stalled, due to laziness on the maker’s part. The actual purchase of the necessary yarn requires the leaving of the house and a good thirty minute walk up hill, in drenching south american summer sun. Not a very pleasant experience.

I bid you farewell, with the pictures for your viewing pleasure.

(that was fun!!!! maybe next time I’ll go for medieval! any tips on a good medieval book?)
