A song I've never ever heard is stuck in my head.

I made some cool scarves, and then I took pictures so I can sell them on etsy.
For a while now I've been at a loss as to where in my house I can take pictures like this. Our house is full of stuff; there aren't blank walls anywhere. I've taken to going outside for photographs, but I didn't really want bright green foliage in the background of photos of winter scarves. Today I walked into the front hall, and realized it was the perfect place for a photo shoot. It has great light and the furniture is cute and old looking, plus the full length mirrors on the closet doors make for a great background.
Anyway, this is one of the scarves I took pictures of today, it should be up on etsy soon-ish.

Zara dress, Joe Fresh cardigan, some tights, handmade scarf

All systems are go!

I've been knitting up a storm the last few days (when I should have been packing). I literally knitted until my fingers were sore; one of them is even kind of swollen. But look at what I have to show for it! I finally have stuff up in my etsy store! So go check it out! I only have 7 things in there so far, but I have more I'll be putting up in the next few days, so look out!

It's a tricky tricky, this little one two

Whoah dudes (or, more accurately, dudettes) look what I did today! I had an exam at 10 this morning (or, uh, yesterday I guess, technically) and it only took half an hour to do, so I sort of had nothing to do the rest of the day, so I knitted stuff.  I actually should have been packing, but that's totally lame, so I didn't. 

That's six, count 'em, SIX mighty fine bracelets there, wouldn't you say? I also made 1 1/2 necklaces, one of which (the 1/2 one) is not even in the style of a braid! 

Also of note is the fact that the yellow bracelet seen above is made with yarn that I hand dyed with turmeric. The yarn it's made from was dyed a few months ago, and I used up the last of it on that one, but today I dyed more! It's sort of a lot of work, but it's worth it for the gorgeous colour it gives you. 

After my exam tomorrow morning, I plan on taking some more pictures, and actually putting stuff up on etsy! Whoah man!

Unrelated to the above: 

1. It turns out that Zac Efron is a huge nerd. I saw it today on much music. They were asking him all these nerd questions, and he knew the answer to every single one!
2. Everyone in the whole entire world should probably start listening to Röyksopp, if they don't already. Especially their newest album, Junior. I am seriously addicted and I don't want to stop.
3. I watched three episodes of The Hills today, and I feel so dirty. The first two were in the afternoon when there was nothing else on, but then I watched the new episode tonight, and the aftershow. What's wrong with me? I seriously thought I was over this stage of my life.

Whoa girl, SLOW DOWN!

So today I wore this outfit. Actually, not even this exact outfit. I wore my campers, not the ridiculous (but amazing) ankle boots I'm wearing in these photos. I would have liked to wear them, but they are not exactly practical for walking around the UofL handing out fliers for the fashion show next weekend. We didn't exactly "hand out" as much as we scattered on tables and pinned to bulletin boards, but it's the same general idea. We also put them under the windshield wipers on cars in the lot, until Leslie set off someone's alarm and we ran away.

I realize I look like a dork here and my face is incredible awkward, but my legs look really nice, so yeah...

I'm attempting to "smile with my eyes" here. I think Tyra would be so proud, don't you?
Oh wow! Here is where I added a necklace I knitted with the intention to sell. I actually took this picture with etsy in mind. Hopefully I'll be going live (with like, actual stock!) sometime in the next week or two. Not that there'll be a whole lot there, but still.

I need to look into shipping costs first, and I can't say that I really want to, but you gotta do what you gotta do!

I'm wearing: Joe Fresh dress (I love you, Superstore), Vintage silk blazer, random tights, Sam Edelman boots

Oh baby oh baby

So today I finally got around to making a facebook group for my knitwear line (I know! How pretentious am I?) Nanuq Handknits. I think you should note that I chose the name because it sounds really cozy and nice, and that's how I feel about knitwear. I also found out that Nanuq is actually the correct spelling of the name, at least according to some name origins/meanings website I found. So there's that. I'll also be putting stuff up on Etsy sometime in the fairly near future. I don't want to bother with the scarves, since winter is almost over, so I'll be whipping up some other stuff before I do that. Maybe some hats! You'll see. 

Hopefully this means people will buy tons of crap* off me and I'll be rolling in dough and I'll be able to buy lots of shoes! I need a couple new skirts way more than I need new shoes, but you know me! 

Also, if your name happens to be Bekki: I hate you forever and I never want to talk to you again (jokes). What I meant to say is WATCH OUT inside your mailbox. Or something. I don't know.

*I am in no way referring to the quality here. Everything is THE BEST quality ever, fyi.
