My first custom order!

Shell Stitch Baby Blanket Pattern via knittingdragonflies

I finally have my first custom order. The joys of free ad placements on Craigslist. I really need to work on 2 more things. That being---

1) getting a etsy store going
2) getting a paypal account set up.

I'm leery to use PayPal. I have heard SO MANY horror stories of their customer service. And I am partial to Regretsy and none of them are too fond of their work. I may try a wepay account... however not as many people use that as use PayPal. 

But tomorrow I will head out to hobby lobby or joanns and pick up the colors she wants her 2 blankets to be.

I am so excited to be making something that potentially will be two  little boys favorite blankets. I always hope that some baby item I make becomes the wubby blanket, binkie, or what have you. My daughter has a handmade blanket by me and I had a blanket my mom crocheted for me that fell apart before i was 3 because I drug that thing around like Linus does.


As of right now I am suffering from a severe debilitating disorder I call Crochet ADD. I have probably 20 balls of yarn in my duffel bag. (Who buys craft totes for 100$ or more when a duffel on casters from walmart is 25$?!) and I currently have 3 ongoing projects. A baby blue and white shell pattern blanket that will go into my store, another slouchy beanie, and some washcloths. I am just not able to zone out on something for too long... and I hate thinking of making up a project that is like 3 weeks of work. The longest I will spend on a project is maybe 30 hours. And that was my daughters shell blanket.

For now, I guess I will go focus on getting at least one of these projects finished!
