The Fauxlyn Slouch Progress

All I've got to show lately is progress shots

because I don't want to give anything away

before I launch my new and improved Made It Store.

So, here's another progress shot of a beanie I've made.

Pattern is the Fauxlyn Slouth by Heidi May

I didn't like this pattern at the stage that the above photo was taken

but by the time I finished it and put it on, I have fallen in love with it.

This one has been made in a merino acrylic chunky blend and

sit's wonderfully and slouchy on your head.

I can see this beanie being quite popular for adults and kids

and am thinking of some faux fur pom poms.

Knit and Crochet

I've been knitting and knitting

with a tad of crochet!

Here are three beanie's I've made so far

and the cream one of the left is a combo

of crochet and knit!

I'm hoping to add a special finishing touch to these

as well as make a whole heap more over the next month 

with the aim of re-opening my Made It story

in January with a whole bunch

of hand knit and hand crochet beanies

and accessories for sale!

A Teal Blue Owl

I've just completed a custom made

Teal Blue owl!

I really love these shades of blue

and love that strangers can

suggest colour combo's

that I wouldn't have thought of myself!

Chunky Stitches on Made It's Shopping Guide!

Made It is an online shopping site 

selling hand made items

(Similar to Etsy but without the "handmade" items)

for Australian sellers.

Yesterday I listed Made to Order Owls

based off the Fresh Stitches pattern

and woke up this morning to an email

saying they have made it onto the

Shopping Guide! 

You can check out the shopping guide HERE until Friday.

This is very, very exciting!!

I've already had 58 views today, which also brings 

attention to my other items.

I chose to sell on Made It as I'm in Australia

and feel because there are thousands and thousands

of crocheters selling their crafts around the world,

I might fare better in a local marketplace.
