I'm in Business!

I have my first items listed in my brand-spanking new etsy shop, dots and lines. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it! After I post this, I'm off to make myself a button for my sidebar, then probably draw and color more stuff.

It's kind of odd to me that I intended to start with all the bags I've been knitting--which I do still plan to sell--but I ended up whipping up entirely new stuff to open my shop with. I guess the drawing bug has bit me again--I really enjoyed ArtSoMoFo last year, though I'm not committing to it again this year--and when the bug bites, I usually do have to scratch.

I'm still knitting, don't you worry. All six baby booties are done now. The first blanket is a disaster--it doesn't lie flat. So I'm trying a different approach for the second one, which seems to be working well so far. Should it continue to be successful, I'll frog the first and redo it like the second.

My mother, the rational grandma-to-be, insists that my brother will love whatever I make him, and the babies won't know to care. But I want my gifts to be just right, so it bothers me. And I still have until January to get this all done!
