...more rambling
So Hobby Lobby was open today. I got my knitting machine... it's a bit of a bust. I read all the directions but I'm apparently missing something. Gotta get in touch with Crystal about what she was doing to make the doll hats with hers.... nereusthebeaded if you could like poke her for info for me it'd be appreciated.
I knitted another doll scarf today... I guess that's one step in the right direction. I wanna start getting some doll clothing together but I just don't have the room here and I keep looking through some things that I'd kinda like to make doll size and stuff, and getting a tad intimidated by the human patterns I wanted to use as reference... I'm thinking maybe my forte is in the accessories dept. I'm gonna dig through some stuff and find my elastic and excess of beads and need to disappear and makes some little bracelet to sell for like .10 or something at the con. Maybe I could get inspired by looking around at some more accessories companies are offering.
I also picked up a learn to crochet book/kit thing so maybe resiniverous and I can maybe learn a few basics before the crochet/knit night next weekend. I'm really looking forward to it. Looking at the book I think I follow some of the basics, I just need to get help from someone to teach me more about doing small round things. doll hats, tiny stuffed animals, and junk like that. But we're hopefully gonna spend some husband & wife time together sometime in the next week seeing what we can learn from the book.
I'm really itching to do a faceup right now, but I don't wanna mess with cleaning anyone's head off at the moment. I really need to get a practice head to try out some new techniques on. nereusthebeaded is there a way you can just get a bobobie head? I figure since I'm just looking for something to practice some stuff on cheap is a good direction, but I just don't want a whole doll, just a head. Also while I'm throwing a bobobie question out, any clue if Elena comes with a magnetic headcap yet?
