Have you guys heard of Knitsy? It’s a digital magazine out of the UK “for yarn tarts.” That’s us!

Knitsy is designed for the iPad and iPhone and contains lots of fibertastic interviews and patterns for crocheters and knitters. It is really fun to swipe through!

 

Best of all? The issues are free! Go get inspired!

How many of you guys have an iPad? Do you use a lot of apps that are for iPad only?

I don’t have an iPad, so the whole idea of iPad-only apps is a bit weird to me still, but the guys at Hop.in let me borrow one (so nice!) to explore their app. I would love it if you guys would explore it with me!

Hop.in makes collecting cool stuff on the internet easy, with just a double-tap on some text, an image, or video that you want to remember for later. You can either do all your collecting privately, or you can do it publicly and share your feed. You can organize your goodies with hashtags so you can easily find all your #craft or #recipe collections. It’s also super easy to share your notes to Twitter or Evernote or whatever you like. Check out this video here!

If you end up checking Hop.in and have any feedback about it, let me know! Let’s find each other and follow each other!

Oh my jeez! H0ld onto your butts! Sourpuss Clothing asked if Ahoy Miss and I would want to shoot photos together in their Shake & Shimmy Dresses in Pink and in Aqua. I was like, “We are buddies, but we still kinda live a couple hundred miles away from each other…!” and Sourpuss was like, “It’s the perfect excuse to get together!” OKAY YOU ARE RIGHT SOURPUSS CLOTHING! SO VERY RIGHT!  I was very lucky that she came for visits during Renegade Craft Fair a few weeks ago so we could make this happen! Hairy watched my booth while Danielle and I ran around outside Fort Mason.

I am used to shooting photos of myself, by myself, with a remote clicker thingie, and I totally freeze up and get weird when someone else is pointing a camera at me. Danielle’s hubby Jose took all the photos, and he is super duper nice. He said something like, “Just let your individual personalities come through!” So I did this …

I emailed Danielle that she was the lady and I was the spazz. Lady and The Spazz. That’s the name of our love story.

I have to add that my dress was extremely comfy, flowy, and lightweight. Also I had the dresses crumpled up in a bag at the craft fair, and they didn’t really wrinkle, so they would be really perfect for traveling! My pink version has little black bows, adjustable spaghetti straps, and smocking in the waist for fit and comfort! Her aqua version has a cute peter pan collar, tiny pink buttons down the front,  some super cute pink ric-rac-kinda trim, and also that comfy smocking.

If you haven’t had enough of us yet, you MUST watch this amazingly funny video that Danielle made! DO IT!!! IT’S AWESOME!! I’m allowed to say that with gusto because I didn’t make it. DO IT!!!!!

Also wearing: my trusty necklace by AthinaLabella, my trusty T.U.K. boots from ModCloth, and a pepperoni pizza hair clip by me! (I might add that I may have chosen alternative footwear on any other day, but since I was vending and standing all day at a craft fair and having to take down my booth at the end of the day, comfort was KEY!)

We also decided to copy TinyTangerines and pick some other stuff we liked from the Sourpuss website!

I sold out of the initial run of corn dogs from Renegade Craft Fair, but now I’ve made them available for custom ordering on Etsy, which means, you get to choose between mustard or ketchup, bite, or no bite! If y’all think of other customizations you might want, just lemme know! I’m thinking of also turning him into an actual puppy dog or puppy corndog character with ears and a face!

Also, I thought it would be cool to get a behind-the-scenes look at the stop-motion corn dog video that my buddy Justin made. Checkitout!

 

Check out the new pattern I just posted in my Etsy shop! Gummy Shark Scarf!

I had intended to post this up a few days earlier, during Shark Week, but I just started writing it and crocheting it on Monday night, and it took me longer than I thought it would to complete! Ah well! Now we’ll be extra prepared for next year!

I hope to also eventually write the pattern for a gummy candy scarf, so this is a nice start!

p.s. Sorry I didn’t feel like brushing my hair or putting on a cute outfit for this one……. it happens. How would you style your Gummy Shark scarf?
