Pedal to Metal

I have been pushing the pedal to the metal a lot this week.  Those craft shows are closing in on me.  The first one opens tomorrow and I got it all delivered and set my runners up on their racks.  Tomorrow I will work a shift and hope to see some of my items sell!!  It's always fun meeting my customers and chatting with them a bit.

Anyway here are my latest finishes.  These little fleece knit sweaters have been in the works for a while-UFO's no longer!   I knit the sleeves and bands on my knitting machine and then use the sewing machine to attach them to the fleece.  These are size 2 and 4,  I made 2 of each size in case there are twins in need.  Or perhaps it was because they will get divided to go to two different shows that are on at the same time.

Next I got the binding on three more of the pumpkin runners.  The pumpkins were started back in April-so more UFO's finished.  Yes I know these look just like some I already showed you, but really these are more, not just the same picture!!  I used all the same fabrics, it makes it easier to produce multiples.

  2. Hi Vicki! It certainly is G-O! time for you. I just love those pumpkins with the gray background. It really sets off the orange and green so nicely. Those little sweaters are so darn cute. Maybe I'll be able to buy one next year for Baby Girl. ~smile~ Roseanne

  7. All the shows around here are just booths, with the vendor manning their own booth. If there was something like the ones you are in, I'd be interested in joining in. Most of my weekends are booked, so, I don't have time to man a booth all weekend, but, I could work a couple of shifts. Good luck with all of your shows.
