A Knitting Horror Story

We're going to do a little something different today. I'm gonna tell you a story!
If you don't knit, however, you might not completely get what I'm talking about, so, ah, WARNING.

Once upon a time I was working on a new hat. It was knitted in the round; I'd spent a good hour or so working on it and I'd finished the brim and started the body. I was so excited, it had a lovely stitch pattern motif, and I was really enjoying working it.
I'm going to step back quick here, and say this: You know where you're reading a pattern for something in the round and they say "Join, taking care not to twist sts on needle"? Today I had read that and said,
"Psh. Let's get on with it."
I'd knitted about 2 inches of this thing and I realize, huh, this looks a little off.

So I investigated a little more and realized that the flippin' thing was flippin' twisted.

My First Craft Show!

Hey everyone!
This past Saturday I had the amazing opportunity to sell at the Crosby Heritage Days Festival's fine art and craft show. It was a blast! I got to meet new people, make some money, and all in all have a great learning experience.

I think my booth really reflected my brand, which is definitely what I was going for. Clean, classic, easy-on-the-eyes. I had nice white tablecloths, signs and stands, but the products themselves provided color, as well as the vases of fresh flowers everywhere.

I was very proud of my ruffle scarf tree.

Sorry random lady setting up next to me, I got you in the picture.
