A while back a friend of mine sent me a link to Etsy.com and suggested that this might be an appropriate sales outlet for many of the handknitted items I have for sale. It has been a hectic summer and early fall, but finally tonight I got my act together and got my shop set up.

My Latest Prayer Shawl
Yesterday I delivered my latest prayer shawl to a 90 year old lady from our church who was having surgery today to clear out her carotid arteries (she did fine and is expected to be released in a day or so). My pastor picked me up, and my grandson was with me so he went along, too. At the end of the visit, Pastor Jeff wanted to offer a prayer, so I said, "Kindon, come over here and let's pray." He came over, took our hands, and stood quietly with his head bowed through the entire prayer. Not bad for a three year old who normally runs at warp speed!
Later on we went to choir rehearsal, and Kindon went along. I had brought along an old "Wee Sing" book for him so he would have his own "music". He walked in like he owned the place, sat right down, opened up his music, and sang along with the adult choir. Maybe soon we'll have to teach him to read music.
Here is the prayer shawl that we delivered. It was made from a full skein of JoAnn Sensations Rainbow Boucle.
So one down, and three more in the pipeline. For some reason I never get quite caught up.

Snowball Hat
A couple of weeks ago I had a booth at a craft fair in Benld. The lady in the booth next to me was very excited when I arrived to open my booth on Saturday morning (we had set up on Friday night and zipped the tent up so we didn't have to get there so early on Saturday). She said that she had been looking all over for me since she had bought one of my fruit hats the year before. By the end of the day, she had bought another fruit hat for her new baby, and placed a special order for two hats "white with something like snowballs". I didn't have anything like that in stock, or even in a pattern ready to go. So, a new pattern is born!
This is the result. I think it came out pretty cute. But I HATE making bobbles! Maybe I'll just write down the pattern and sell it instead of making any more hats.
