So this is the busy season for me. I have several Craft Shows coming up between now and December 14th. So I will be MIA for a while. I am currently working on replacing stock from a very successful farmers market last weekend. This is a free market hosted once a month by the local Tractor Supply Store. I almost didn't go, but decided I could use the fresh air. I only took a small amount of stock, but what I did take was flying off the tables. Luckily I had more at home for the next show coming up this weekend in Farmersville, but I still want to replace some of the toys. Luckily they are are quickly made, unlike a blanket or garment which can take a few days or even weeks to create.
I did find a new pattern for a small dragon. Years ago, when my youngest niece and nephew were little I made 2 large dragons for them as Christmas presents and they were a big hit. They also took a couple of weeks to make, because there were a few errors in the written pattern that I had to figure out (2 single chains in each of 6 sc chains around does not equal 15 no matter what math you use). These take only an hour or so to make and use up very little yarn (just under a 388 yards). If I can remember to do so, I will take a picture of some of the toys I make this weekend at the show, and post it, along with the links where you can find the patterns.
So, back to work for me. Will try to catch up even if its just to say a quick hi/bye next week sometime.
