Oops! I went AWOL!

Alright, so I've officially been neglecting my blog. But it's because I have a few really cool things coming up and a few really cool things that have been going on lately. I'll explain.

First, I did a really cool custom order for Essenza Salon, which was recently opened by Andrea Cabillo, who has been doing my hair for about 6 years! These 6 matching necklaces were for all the stylists there!

On a related note, I had the chance to participate in a really fun photoshoot for Drea's portfolio. It was my first time working with a professional photographer. I uploaded all of the photos onto my Flickr account, and the photos were taken by Jared Teska.






Another reason I've been AWOL is that I'm planning on moving over to a Wordpress blog on my own domain, so I'm working on that design, learning what I need to know, and being a perfectionist of course ;)

Here are a few things coming soon in my Etsy shop. First, adult legwarmers in more colors (pink just went up for sale)! Second, crocheted mini-legwarmers for the new collection, Lazy Daisy Baby. And lastly, Some fun new wire jewelry which should be completed soon. Make sure you're checking back!

Ribbed Knit Bamboo Leg Warmers

Check these out! I knit these a while back but haven't had a chance to take photos of them til now (had to borrow someone with legs of course). A little later on today I'll be taking more off-the-legs pictures and listing them on Etsy!

These are hand-knit from Bamboo Natural Blends yarn (86% Bamboo, 12% Acrylic, 2% Polyester). They're cream-colored and 19.5" (about 50cm) from end to end. The bottom end (for the ankle/top of the foot) is about 8"(20cm) around, and doesn't stretch too much so the warmers will stay put securely. The top end is about 10" (25cm) around and allows you to slouch the legwarmers to your liking. I can easily add elastic at the top if you'd like. The wide knit will let these legwarmers stretch to fit many sizes.

In case you've never heard of bamboo yarn before, let me tell you, it is AMAZING!! It's very soft, sleek and smooth, and has a very nice sheen to it. And, I feel a lot better about using bamboo than sheep's wool.

So, what do you think?

(P.S. HUGE special thanks to KG for letting me use her legs/feet for these pictures)
