Summer time, and the living...
As my dear boyfriend keeps reminding me, 95degrees Fahrenheit is not what most people think of as "crochet weather".
But I have managed to come up with a couple of designs that I am really proud of for the summer!
This wrap is made in 100% linen, which is very much the fiber-of-the-season, and the colors are just gorgeous (I can brag because I didn't make the yarn, just used someone else's genius!)
This one actually got me on the front page of Etsy! I was so thrilled I called my parents to make them look!
My guest blog for Carnival is yet to post, but when it does I'll let you know, it's actually all about the challenge of designing crocheted things for summer, and the loveliness that is available in all seasons. I'm looking forward to my post!

new store!
I have recently discovered DaWanda, which is a sort of Etsy-like enterprise but with a slightly different feel. It's smaller, and based in Europe, and seems to be a little more geared towards high-ticket items. It's a fun site to poke around, and on the recommendation of some other Etsy users, I decided to open a shop there too! Hey the more exposure the better, right?
Here it is:
AStitchtoWear.dawanda.com
In other news, I've been invited to be a guest blogger for a fellow Etsy seller, carnival!! I'm really excited to be chosen, and will give you more updates as the time for my column gets closer. Meanwhile, check out her eye-popping blog.

featured in a Treasury!!
I'm trying to minimize the use of exclamation points, which is hard because I'm really excited! (!!)
I just found myself featured in a Treasury on Etsy! Please click here to view (it's a gorgeous treasury based around a Eggplant/Plum/Maroon color scheme) and leave a comment.
Yay! (!!!)

of photo shoots and bright hats
Just got back from a trip back to ye olde country, aka Oklahoma. My goal now is to start promoting the heck out of my etsy shop!
Since my last post, I have added hats to my lineup. I've had these "in stock" for quite a while but finding a time to get the photos I wanted of them proved to be a major obstacle; but after almost a month of attempts, my best friend Anne and I managed to find the perfect afternoon in Dupont Circle to do a photo shoot. If I look way cooler than I am, it's because the wonderful Aaron is a very talented photographer (and took over 400 pictures just to make sure he got some decent ones.) I love how the hats look on Anne, with that thick long hair of hers, and her dark features. Here is a sample, more at the link above:
Oh, how I love the greens in this photo:
The photo shoot was way more fun with a friend helping.
Other than that, summer is in full swing, which means I'm still experimenting with ways to create crocheted items, typically reserved for chillier months, into fashionable designs for warm (if you're a DC resident, read: miserable) days. I think I've hit upon something I really like, so stay tuned :)
