Kiss My Knits!

Got four Jayne hats out the door yesterday, so I’ll call that productive. Also got in an infinitessimal amount of earflap red, the color I’m lowest on, so production hasn’t completely ground to a halt. Next up are Washington, Australia, Indiana, then several for one person going to several locations. At that point, we’ll be into the orders that were placed on the 10th of September. I do not like being a week behind – this is the first time this has happened since Wear With Style opened. Grr.

However, on the up side, I’ve gotten to work on some non-orange orders. Also, since asked if I could get better quality photos of some of my work, I experimented with a setup that looks a little more professional. Until I get around to building a light box, I guess this’ll do. The trouble with getting good photos for is that most of the stuff I make goes right out the door as soon as it’s done, so I can’t really call it back for a photo shoot. I’ll try to make a better effort in the future, though, since clearly there’s some utility to having nice pics of these things.

In other news, Lamb’s Pride Red Baron is a pretty dead match for Pantone 200, which is the official red of UGA, University of Arkansas, Ohio State, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and many other colleges around the country. Sports fan knitters, take note!

While Jayne hats are obviously the main thing I’m working on, I have to occasionally stop and knit something else or I go crazy. So here’s another pattern repeat on the Vinnland socks. I’m really liking the way these are turning out. I’m going to bring them in a little after turning the heel, since my wide feet do not have wide ankles and legs attached to them.

This morning is Couch to 5k, this afternoon is our first Brownie meeting of the year, tonight is the weekly stitch night at Books-A-Million,and of course, there are many Jayne hats to knit in between these activities. All in all, this will be a full day. Time to launch into it!
