Snood Order

A girl at the place that I work saw my brown angora snood and asked me to make her three snoods, one for her, and one for each of her sisters; in pink, blue and black. Since we agreed on a price of $30 for the total order, I stuck with mostly acrylics but added a little something special to each piece.

First is the black one:

I added a small burgundy flowerlet with leaves made of sock yarn.
Here is the flower in more detail:

I was really happy with how this came out:

This piece would probably cost about $12 before shipping.

Look out for the other two.

Apologies

Sorry everyone!

I didn't realize the link to the Etsy shop was borked.

Its fixed now, but at the moment I have nothing listed. If you are interested in something you see here, feel free to comment and we can go from there.

Ordering/Custom Work Open Thread

I am establishing this open thread as a place where you can come specifically to ask me about prices, materials or to start the process of placing an order.

Fire away!

::singing:: Blue snooood!

You left me standing alooooone!

Without a dreeeem in my heaaart!

Without a love of my oooown!

I made this one because it matches my work uniform, and it makes getting ready sooooo much faster. Instead of brushing my hair, I just pop this on and stuff all of my hair into it..

This one is made of mercerized cotton, and with these exact materials, it would cost about $15 before shipping.

If Only The Lunch Ladies Had Known

My new favorite project: Snoods.

This one is mine, and it was my first one, so I'm pretty impressed at how it came out.

(note: person in pictures is not me but would prefer to remain anonymous)

I believe the material of the snood itself is angora (I can't remember and I can't find the label, sue me)

Photobucket

The flowerlet was made with a scrap of sock yarn, which is PERFECT for small work (and for going blind incidentally)

Photobucket

I crocheted an elastic headband into the brim to finish and to keep the whole shooting match on your head.

This pattern with these exact materials would run about $18 before shipping.

First Real Post!

Okay Ladies and Germs,

Today I will present one of my first custom made pieces. The customer requested a black headband with a red rose accent. the rose needed to be small, not "HEY LOOK AT THIS BIG FLOOFY THING THAT PROVES THIS PERSON IS A GIRLY GIRLY GIRL!"

Photobucket
Here is the complete piece, the headband and rose are black and red acrylic and the leaf is green cotton.

Photobucket
The headband was made with a half-double crochet.

The rose is made with a double crochet.

This order ended up running about $15 before shipping.
