Chain of fools

Most of my crocheting lately has been crocheting – then be unhappy with the result and frogging (ripping out… rip it, rip it, rip it).  However, I have finished some projects… and not finished others.

I had several requests for more adult/gag lip balm packages.  Sigh.

For a friend-of-a-friend’s birthday, I made him the “perfect woman“.

I made this dark brown and black beret for sale – but if it doesn’t sell soon, I’m keeping it for myself!  I had trouble getting a decent photo – the “band” is a cool black and brown pattern.  Click on the image or here to see the sale listing.

I had high hopes for my new endeavor of crocheting and selling some scarves for the holidays – not to mention making scarves as gifts.  I was able to make several beyond what I’d posted earlier.

My friend Merril invited me to the “One of a Kind Show and Sale” at the Merchandise Mart. If you’re unfamiliar with the “Mart”, it’s a mammoth building in Chicago, encompassing an entire city block.  It houses 130 fancy-pants home furnishing showrooms and 2,000 product lines.  I’ve browsed bits of the Mart.  My roommate’s sister works in one of the fancy-pants showrooms.  I’ve seen gorgeous ceramic tiles I can only dream of owning – and maybe owning ONE tile priced at hundreds of dollars per tile, not a bathroom or kitchen full of it.

I thought it’d be fun to go to the “One of a Kind” show with Merril.  It featured handmade items from local artists.  Merril thought it would give me ideas for my recent venture into selling crocheted items.  I just thought it would be interesting to see the artists’ gorgeous work.
