December marked the end of the production knitting for the bazaar. All but one of the cowls sold, which was awesome. I learned that $2-$25 was a good price, and that the bright colors were more popular. The ornaments didn't do so well, but I think that was largely owing to poor merchandising. Next year I'll have some sort of tree-like display thingy thing so people can see that they're ornaments, not cat toys or something. I'm also considering a few other things - washcloth sets, coasters/java jackets, maybe some fingerless mitts...we'll see. I'm thinking about it now, though so I can build up stock over time rather than all at once.
I'm also trying to finish up some things that have been on my plate - the hat I knit Ma last year was a bit too snug, so I'm about half-way through a do-over on that. I also want to finish up the cute little dress and get it to Stacey for Sophia. Just a couple of seams and some ribbon, and that's done. Then it's back to the cashmere sweater vest and the rest of the queue. Which seems to just get longer. I should probably re-org it to be "projects I actually have yarn for" first, and then the rest of it in the order I'd like to attack them.
Met another knitter at a party a week or so ago, and she runs a knit-in in the U-district on Mondays. I'm going to try to remember to get there, because it sounds fun and a bit more...amusing, I guess, than the one at Miro. Not that I'd know, since I've never gone and it's right down the street, but if her personality is any indication, it should be a good time.
My camera crapped out, so I need to get a replacement so I can take more photos of my stuff. One thing at a time, though, I guess. Maybe I'll just borrow Ma's in the interim.
