So, I went over to Amazon, in the hopes I could maybe get a book or two, and was forced to do a little conversion, from USD$ to R$. Well, the 200 ripple patterns book, from USD$ 16,49 to R$ 35,00. And I’m not even considering the shipping, which would take my little splurge to the 3 digit area. ARGHGHGHGHGHhhh I am so mad!!!
On the other hand, I started a new project. It’s actually and old abandoned project, a bag for my crochet supplies in use, which I gave up on due to total lack of success. I am now making the outside of granny-squares, and the lining will be made with the fabric I already had from the unsuccessful previous attempt. How clever am I? (no need to answer. I am, after all, allowed to dream, aren’t I?)
And on my Ongoing Projects:
The necklace, stalled. Don’t know what to do.
Ripple blanket, hiding in fear of its life. Haven’t forgiven it yet.
Granny Squares are going strong, one a day.
Couch throw, not even thinking ’bout.
Stool covers, pushed aside in favour of crochet bag.
Hundred Flower Scarf… I’ll get to them…
Am also doing a quickie bag, not sure for whom yet. It matches the scarf though, the one I will post next week, all going well.
And for our visual report:
Today I will show you my hook caddy. The pattern’s around the web somewhere.

That’s that for today folks. Going to curse Amazon to hell and back now!
I forgot!!
I NEED HELP!!
I’m going to place some of my work on concession? at some stores here, and I need a name. So I’m between two choices, which is why I need your help:
made preeety by hand
or
preeety made by hand
what do you think? please comment!

i feel with you on the amazon shipment…i would like to buy so many things, but shipping is many times more expensive than the product itself…”%^ !
concerning the names, they have different meanings (to me). The first one, means that it was improved by hand, or made preeety (this word being an emphasis more than a brand name). The second one suggests that preeety is a brand name and the whole thing is made by hand. Does this make sense??

Comment by Phantomias March 11, 2007 @ 2:08 pmI think I prefer the second. And I think the word you might want is “consignment” maybe?
