crochet related business.
so yesterday when we were at the post office i saw this girl wearing a crocheted ripple cape(!!) with black buttons and fringe. at first i just noticed it because it looked crocheted and i thought '...i could make that' and then when i saw it had buttons on the front i pretty much went crazy thinking that i NEEDED to make A CAPE for christ sake!!! all last night i had a bee in my bonnet about finding a pattern. and of course the FIRST thing that comes up in a google search of "ripple cape" is this pattern which is quite similar to the one i saw, except this one has weird arm things and no fringe. AND, it cost $8. and so, i don't know what to do. i don't feel like i'm advanced enough to just figure the ripple stitch out and then "make a cape" because ...i don't know. i just feel like there is a pattern out there and it should be a little cheaper. using a pattern = i won't have to think too hard.
oh, and the other thing....a cape!?!?!?!!??! will i wear a cape? it's not a poncho, which i would probably never wear. but i might wear this cape thing............maybe?
here are some other crocheted patterns on etsy that i found last night.
crocheted cozy cowl from bluestarbutterflies
i was looking for something like this a while ago (a mobius scarf) and this looks fast and easy. because i don't have enough scarf things.
oma house slippers from Mamachee these are SOOOOO awesome that i got another bee in my bonnet when i saw them last night. i need a good pair of slippers.
okay, today is apparently "toddler meltdown" day here, and so i don't know what's gonna happen this afternoon. we might go to the zoo because that will be easy. thankfully we have plenty of snacks and that ALWAYS helps.
