Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.

So it's been super busy here. Just finished with MangaNext and helping Dory out with her table. Of course Dory nearly sold out of bows, but I even managed to make a small profit! Now that I know what sells, I'll start making more of it. I've got two red roses, but they dried to a nearly black color. So now I'm debating about how to address the petals, do I want to keep them as a full rose, or individual petal necklaces? I'm also thinking of closing down the Etsy store. I'm not selling through it and I'm losing money. Wondering if I can sell through this blog.... or if I could get the damn software, through my website.
I wrote a knitting pattern and knit it, it looks super cute. Eventually I wanna post the pattern up, and get some pictures taken of it. People at the convention seemed to really like it. I was really happy about that. It takes me like a week to make, so if I ever wanted to make and sell them... it'd be too expensive. But I have all this yarn T-T. I will probably post the pattern to this blog, just cause I'm super lazy. I would like to make more, maybe change the cable pattern and make it longer. It was super short, only reaching just over my shoulders. It's a pretty simple pattern it's just a whole lot of stitches to cast on. So I'm going to switch up the order so instead of casting on 300+ stitches (for the bottom) I'm going to start from the top (far less stitches to cast on). This also means that I need to find a cable knit that looks the same knitting it from the bottom or the top. Hopefully I'll have the kinks worked out in the next week.


So I raved too hard at MangaNext. Saturday night was awesome. There were a lot of people who I think were really confused and not terribly willing to let some random chick with glow sticks join their circle, so I found this one group near the front with this really cute guy (who happened to be the vendor with the Gundam00 plastic Haru ball) and started dancing with them. It was awesome, and they were so nice. I was jumping around like a rabbit with a pogo stick up it's ass and nobody said a word. I was a nut job. But now I'm in a lot of pain, and next time, I'll do some pre-game stretches before raving like a crazy person.
I'll post some more photos in the next post of the pretty things I made, and whatever else I've got started... maybe when the pain stops?
See Ya'll Later!
