End of June almost

I finished Scarlett's Cables and really love the end product. It was not the simple job I planned because I chose a more complex cable pattern than usual for my pattern and using double strand 5ply yarn was a challenge with the cables. The end result though I am really pleased with and decided they didn't need any embellising as the cable is enough. I also braided the cord this time, whichI hate doing as I needed it so long so it got rather knotty too easily, twisted probably would have done though.

Also been working on these for Pebbles and love the yarn 100purewool. Very soft and squishy and the colourway is great too. I'm looking forward to getting an action shot of these to put on the store gallery.

I've started some bargain conscious camoflage cables too. K mart yarn and a little bit of colour pooling. Just half a leg left now but the progress pic is enough to stick in here for now.

So my customs are done and now I'm working on my next store stocking. I've been playing with ideas and patterns and have a few licenses now too, I've ditched my experimenting on a few patterns as there are already some good one's out there. So I will be working with the belladonna designs longies, the munchkin rumps universal soaker/longies, the radiant twist trim fit soaker and Sylver designs mary jane's and loafers.

I'm still working on my own crochet longies pattern too, something suitable for stripes without losing shape because of stripes. Another 3 things I'm working on are some elf shoes, fairy wings and pixie hats. I'm just not looking at any patterns trying to get these done, I feel like I jinx myself when I start something and then someone posts a blog or a link to something else all together but what I'm working on is already there. I feel like it's been hampering my creativity for a bit, the more I look the more I see the same stuff arond everywhere.

My next stocking will also be with a theme. I've decided the next theme will be called "Enchanted Dreams" or "Enchanted Garden" I'm not 100% sure until I finish the embellishing on a couple of things. Essentially it will be fairies, pixies, elves, leprechaun's, gnomes. The kind of magical creatures that come out in the garden at night.

Other theme ideas I'm looking at inlcudes Alice in Wonderland and I'll launch the tea pot and tea cups then too.

Also a jungle animals and farmyard animals theme, perhaps two separate occasions, sea creatures, more rainbow related themes too.

I'm having fun in the planning.
