Danido Crafty » Making things look pretty

So last night I built a light box. And it’s a little janky, and I have ideas on how to make it better but it does do the job for the time being. Check out this gorgeous pictures I got of some of my finished knits.

This is the second Moonset Chemo Cap I knit up this week to finalize the pattern for it. This is the hat I designed for my Godmother DeeDee who is going through her second battle with breast cancer.  I knit this one in Sanguine Gryhpon - Traveller Yarn. It took me almost 50 pictures to get a picture that showed something close the true colors in this yarn. I finally gave up, the colors in the second photo are close, but there is just no way to show on film the GORGEOUS colors in this yarn. As I was knitting it I was constantly surprised and amazed at the vibrant colors that kept coming along. The pattern for this is coming soon. I will be offering it for sale for $2, which will go towards a fund for my Godmother to help offset the cost of her illness and losing time at work while she goes through treatment. As soon as I have it up I’ll post it here so everyone knows.

This is the Star Stitch Hair Tamer that I designed as well. Also looking swank on my new Styrofoam head. I love how crisp the stitches look!

A super sharp photo of the Coffee Mug Wrap pattern from awhile back. Again, look at that stitch definition! Hotness.

A ball of Malabrigo yarn I bought recently from Eat.Sleep.Knit. I was still working out the lighting issues in that photo, so it’s not as good as some of the others.

This is a hat I knit up awhile ago in Kaitlens Brave New Whorled handspun. I think she called this particular yarn Lettuce. (I may have just made that up…) but it does look crisp and lettuce-y and it’s gorgeous all knit up.

So there you have it, some pretty  knits, some pretty yarn and some SWEET photos of them.

Okay, so I bought the head form, but now I need to name it. I have a thing with names, I need to name pretty much anything that could possibly have a name. So, I beseech you readers, help me name the head. Girls names please. Extra points if it’s something ethnic and beautiful OR if it’s something that could be a yarn name as well. Hit me with it! The name I pick may win a sweet little surprise from me. Like maybe a certain kind of handspun yarn. (Kaitlen can’t win, since it’s her yarn I’m going to give away.) The yarn I’m going to give away is not going to be the same green yarn I used for the hat, because I love it and I want to make a matching scarflette out of the rest of it I have. The yarn I’m giving away will be something….different. I don’t know what yet.
