I've made two cowls in the past two days, and I'm working on a third...i'm quite pleased with myself. The first two are both different yarns, and even different sizes, just because of the types of yarn. I can't wait till it gets a little cooler out so I can dress up my volunteer models and get things taken pictures of and hopefully start posting on Etsy again. (which is just uber exciting!)
After reading some of the helpful emails that they send, I have decided to follow their advice about reviewing what you enjoy making yourself, not what you think people will want to buy. And I have decided I'm going to go back to focusing on cowls and scarves, and eventually mittens. And when February or March rolls around I'm going to start working on shawls. I think that will help keep me focused and hopefully help me improve all of my crafting, plus I'll get to work on making my own version of a shawl.
Speaking of shawls, Roommate has picked out the pattern she likes. It's a nifty fan/pineapple pattern with long tassels. She's really excited, so here in like a month or so when she has the extra cash we're going to go out to Twist (the most awesome yarn store in all the land) and pick out her yarn, and then I'll be hooking that and pretty much only that and maybe a cowl a week or so just to keep my hands from going crazy with just one project. All in all we're both really excited about it, cause I've never made a shawl before and I know Roommate is going to get so cold with me and Husband this winter, because with the two of us, we both enjoy the cold...a lot more than most people do even.
