Working On Etsy Shop

I'm slowly working to get the items from the previous post as well as these up on my etsy shop. Trying to be visible in more than one place.

The Newest Merchandise

I've started making amigurumi and you may wonder what that is so I will post the definition here.

Amigurumi  lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features, as is typical in Japanese culture.

I've been enjoying it so far. My family is telling me what they would like to see and what they believe will sell in my booth at the market and in my shop online.

My first attempt at sewing the parts together left a bit to be desired. And that was a bit unpleasant for me after so many years of crocheting. I am getting the hang of it now much better.

So, let's see what I have been working on....

Crocheting for Me

I've been so busy getting inventory done and orders made that I haven't crocheted anything for myself in quite a while. In the last two weeks, I have corrected that. It's so nice to be wearing something I've made again. It gives me a warm, pleased feeling.

I do not have a picture of the shrug I made for a particular dress and I will try to get one and post it soon. I do have a picture of each of the skirts I've made myself.

 This brown one has open work in it. At the office i wore brown leggings underneath it and they were actually quite attractive that way. Outside the office I wore shorts under it. It could also be used as a bathing suit coverup. 100% acrylic. Not my design and the pattern can be found here.

This skirt I made to match the shirt. I ran out of the original green yarn but had one almost identical had the house. It does appear lighter in this photo. It isn't, however, that noticeable in person. Go figure. It has very few open stitches in it but I do have a half slip on under it at the office. The skirt, my design, was made to wear with the shirt. 100 % cotton.

I'm happy enough with the results that I modeled for my blog! I don't generally model.
