The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.

Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.

Checkmate, nihilism.

It’s been a busy few days, but here’s some cute pictures!

This is Lady Girl, she’s one of my three models for my dog scarves. Isn’t she cute!

Took some of my scrap balls and started on....whatever this thing is.

My son is modelling the small piece I have done.

I'm making a Christmas dog scarf (for giant beasties) to test out on my sisters 170 and 120 point monsters. If I get the size right ill be selling them!

I started to design a new garland and now it's 0230 and I should be in bed T~T

[wanderfulcrafts]

A lady ordered a pumpkin garland and a gingerbread man garland.

I don't think I'll ever want to see another gingerbread man for as long as I live after this. T~T 8D

1 gingerbread man = 2 gingerbread man shells

10 gingerbread men = 20 gingerbread men shells

People often look at the tags on my handmade goods and declare that my prices are outrageous. I did the math and THIS is what that handmade beanie you want for $10 ACTUALLY cost to make.

So if you see that $30 on the label, be courteous. Know that I am paying myself far, far less than minimum wage in labor ($2.22 per hour, to be exact) to even come to such a supposedly ghastly price. I can't take that $10 for a hat because no one can live on $0.37 an hour, much less sustain a business.

Handmade goods aren't overpriced, people just undervalue the hard work and years of skill artists put into them.

These three are ready to be sold and are sitting atop a pile of their future cousins!
