hats hats hats!

all of the hats are finally up at etsy!

dot dash hat

that's one of my favorites. i think i'm going to make more like it sometime soon. it's probably the least girly hat i've made in a while!

also, here i am as an m&m:

apparently this is me as an m&m?


i've never actually made an orange hat with a pom-pom, but i think i want to now. also, i want some ice cream. weirdly, i don't want m&m's, which i think is the point of the site. oops!

radical lace & subversive knitting

this exhibit at nyc's museum of art & design look so cool! i think i am going to have to finagle my way up there sometime before june 17th just so i can see it and do all the other new yorky things i've wanted to do since going there once in 11th grade.

(i just blogged about janet echelman, one of the featured artists, over at my personal blog, if you want to read it!)

also, museum of art & design = mad museum! i love it.

i love etsy!

for real, i do. i haven't sold anything yet but i am so glad that i made the switch. i am still at home for my winter break so i'm using my parents' computer which has super-slow dialup, so i haven't been able to explore all that much, but i am slowly (sloooowly) looking around and finding a lot of really cool people.

who are some of your favorite etsy folks/things? maryink and mwilson (esp. the "morphism" prints) are some of my recently favorited new discoveries.

in other news, i bought a ton of yarn and i am crocheting again! i'm planning to do valentine hats again this year (people seemed to like those last time!) so i got some nice pinks and reddish colors, which is a change from the summer/fall when i was really into earthy stuff like brown and gray and green (not that you can tell from what's in the shop at the moment, though). i just have to pace myself so i don't burn my hands out. whoops.

happy new year!
