That's very nice, Sarah. Just out of interest; how easy would you find it to knit one with an incorporated hood?
What, that? It's a spade.

Hmmmm, shouldn't be too hard. I'd probably make a mega snood, a bit like my black one but wider. That way it could be hooded if you wanted, or just a snood if not. OR I could make one like Madi's & just add a hood to it.

It looks the fuckin' balls, doesn't it? Thank you, Sarahface, I should have birthdays more often.
It does indeed, I wouldn't expect anything less from Sarah. ;)

Haha, I'm the only one at work who is glad it's cold, so I have more than enough excuse to wear ma new scarf!

Thanks love :D I do try. I'm wanting to make a "whole new line" of things this year. I'll be moving more towards knitted, leather & awesome jersey fabrics. Discontinuing the cyber stuff. As much as I like making, I wanna make stuff that I want to wear. Everyday.

Next up is a circle scarf using the same wool I used for Madi's. I haven't started it yet though.

:oops: Thank you!

Last night I finally decided to organize my product in the form of product lines and created "series" for them! This is a big step for me! Previously I could not decided how I wanted to organize stuff, by medium, by theme, etc. And I finally came up with this! I'm super excited! And I created these graphics for the labels and eventually my webpage.

And I made these earrings! You can see how I'm using the labels as well...

Hahahaa! rightly so too :D

Cake pops - AMAZING. I found a recipe on Pinterest. Basically, what you do is bake a cake, allow to cool then crumb (we used a food processor) & mix in some fondant icing so you create a dough, roll in to small balls & we poured melted chocolate over them & then sprinkles. The "actual" recipes suggest that you put a stick in them - it makes dipping them in chocolate a lot easier. We had no sticks, but wanted cake pops so just used cupcake cases.

Er, here's a recipe I found earlier to share with someone else:

Reindeer sex hat is the best hat in the world ever. I'm just imagining a cringeworthy Christmas jumper with similar on to give to an old relative and them not realising hahahaha
:)
I started this ages ago but only just got around to finishing, it's for the lovely miss phexxie
As usual my photography "skills" have failed me haha the binding was only actually pinned down at this point so looks uneven. I was just so annoyed at having to not finish it around Christmas due to other orders and I wanted a photo >.<
