When Vie starts feeling the chilly weather coming and breaks out the knitting to make sweaters, blankets, gloves and more. Only bad part is Louisiana is teasing me. It makes it reasonably chilly one day, then hot and humid the next. I want my cold, gloomy days and I want them pronto!

**CL0V3R** · 06 Oct. 2012 03:28am

It's still in the 100s out here. Just finally getting into the high to mid 90s.
I want cold weather damn it.
At least it's nice at night.

**323** · 06 Oct. 2012 04:50am

Bitch, this is America. We do what we want!
Logical measurement systems that us increments of 10? No, we'll use an arbitrary system based on random intervals derived by various people.

Exact same thing here. My favorite is early in the morning a 6:40-7 it is 55, and within an 1/2 hour it's at 80.

Man, you all should come to michigan. Where I am, Canada is south of me. (It's a Michigan joke to tell people from other states - in and around Detroit and the metro detroit area, parts of Canada are actually south of you, look at a map of michigan + canada) If Matt ever comes back, you can ask him haha.

Man, knitting looks fun though o: Imagine making 'dem jew-golds by knitting. That would be a fun job, until it gets repetitive.

Yea, I've been to Sarnia, London, and Kingsville, Ontario. Right in that area.

People don't really want hand-kit items/want to pay the price for them. There are those few wh

uld pay the price, but they are impossible to find. Last thing I sold was in an auction on Etsy.com It was a queen size, seamless patchwork blanket made in Charcoal Grey and Baby Blue alpaca yarn . Cost me $60 to make (only the cost of yarn, which I bought off ebay at a super steal in this huge lot), and I sold it for around $350. Took too long to make though.

Oh wow, that's cool. I would buy a little trinket or something, if you were willing to make and then send in an envelope or something haha. How much are your prices for something smaller like that? I would totally buy a huge blanket off you, but it would probably take forever to make and cost me more then I have haha.

It really just depends on the type of yarn I am using (i.e-cashmere vs. acrylic), how difficult the pattern is (is it knit flat, and sewed, or seamless and knitted as one, plain Jane and a continuous pattern , etc.), the size of the piece, and shipping costs.

I can make some pretty decent things with an acrylic blend that is soft, durable, and a reasonable cost. (Between $10.00 - $30.00). Right now I am working a few things for to my sister-in-law's friends, so there are a few things already in query.

Via laggy iPhone.

**323** · 07 Oct. 2012 01:50pm

Ohh, I see. Well if you ever made something small, I don't even care what, and wanted to sell it, I'd be willing to buy haha.

I'm playing around with spare materials right now while I wait for my order of yarn to come in. At the moment it looks like it'll be a simple ribbed scarf in black acrylic mix, but it could change into anything along the way. Lol If I finish it I'll hit you up. :'D

Also:

Finally, decent weather! :]

Just for you, Drak, because you're just stuck in your non-American ways:
