We went to Whole Foods the other day so Hairy could make a really yum-tastic salad with pomelos and long beans and lettuce and cabbage and a dressing made with fish sauce. I saw these teeny tiny baby tomatoes and I HAD TO HAVE THEM.
I am not usually a fan of raw tomatoes. I only like them cooked or in sauces. But these guys were not only ADORABLE but also DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! Nice and tart and snappity.
Today I sent a 1st batch of sample scarves and patterns to my publisher. I have lots of 80% finished scarves here, so I sent her the stuff that was 100%. I tweaked MOST of my patterns (which kinda took forever) to make them more easily explainable in a pattern, and I also tried to use more yarns that are readily available (i.e. ya don’t necessarily have to order them online like I do!), without skimping on style of course!
I don’t have to take the final photos until after their pattern-tester tests everything, but I wanted to stick in some photos as place holders so she could see. I’m putting the photos I took today behind a cut, because, there’s nothing new that you haven’t seen before!
Oh my gosh- I want that sushi scarf!!! It is toooo cute! <3
I’ve actually never posted one for sale because it is SOOO particularly time-consuming to make!! Now everyone will be able to make their own 😛
Wow Twinkie-chan, I LOOOOVE the pink grapefruit and candy button ones!!! Candy buttons are the best XD!
The pink grapefruit one didn’t do that well on eBay the one time I made one for sale, so I thought that everyone thought it sucked! 😛
Aww no way! I love the color combination of bright pink and yellow!
I love, love, love the grapefruit and candy dots! Oh and the Bomb Pop too. Congrats on your book, can’t wait ’til it comes out.
I really want to use the grapefruit pattern to do a citrus medley scarf!
I LOVE!!! the grapefruit one!!!! goodness!
i never thought anyone liked it cuz it sorta bombed on ebay a long time ago!
i love the egg and bacon one! the sushi one is divine and the pink grapefruit is so cute!!
i kept a bacon and egg one for myself!
Twinkie-Chan!! You’re a crochet-machine! These are amazing!! I love the bacon and eggs one 🙂
I do have help from my elf Rita and her sister for my book samples! i would be up poo creek without them!
I’m doing a happy dance for this book to come out 😀 I’ve been practicing my crochet jitsu just for this occasion! :3

I’ve got 2 godsons lined up for your book already. ALL your scarves look fantastic, well done.

(hi again, it’s wuvvlepop from etsy!)
I hope your book will be on sale in the UK, i’m dying to get my hands on it! I’ve just learnt crochet this very week, it’s much easier than knitting. I agree that your grapefruit scarf is super cute, i just think everyone’s a junk food addict 😀
Hm, I am actually not sure about the int’l distribution, but I will for sure sell some copies off my website, and I’ll definitely ship all over!
SO excited about the book! I dont know that I can wait a whole year! Any thoughts on the avacado scarf to go in there?!?!
MMMMM since the avo and pear scarf are very similar in shape, I think I’ll have to choose one over the other!
