Comicon Nov 2012 sale

Overall I'd say the sale was a success!
Sold both Tardis hats and 2 R2D2 hats!  $30 each...$25 for me and $5 for the booth.
So... I still have hats.  Some I have found homes for though...
I'm going to send the Spock hat and a beard hat to my Sister and her fiance for Halloween.  I think they'll really get a kick out of them.  Bonnie wanted me to make Aaron some hair.  So hair for him and a beard for her seems perfect!
And cousin Carrie has asked for a R2D2.
The Princess Leia I'm going to donate to Desert Bus.  My friend Helen suggested it last year so...
I think I'll put Yoda on Etsy.  Still deciding.  I may wait until I have a couple of other things.

On to my next project.  I'm knitting a Tardis hat and scarf for a SwapBot exchange.  My partner will be sending me a box full of goodies for Frannie.  One Xmas present down!
I also met a gal on Swapbot that wants a simple, cut fox hat.  She makes adoreable stuffies.  I may have another present for Frannie done!
AND...my friend, Helen, wants a tardis hat for her daughter.  Helen is an amazing artist from my home town.  I may have a gift for my parents done too.
I love swapping!!

Spock hat

And my new favorite...the Spock Hat!

The pattern is named "Live Long and Keep Warm".  :)
Like the Princess Leia, it has built in ear muffs. 

Yoda Hat

I made one of these for Frannie a while ago.  I do agree with her that it needs some white fun fur hair in the back.  But I didn't have any and neither did the yarn store I went to that day.  Oh well.  It's still cute.

Princess Leia Hat

The Princess Leia hat.  How can you go wrong?
Easy knit but time consuming.  Just knit up a basic brown bucket hat/beanie.  Then make and stuff 2 snakes about 1-1/2 to 2 feet long, wind 'em up and sew them on.  It's a warm hat with built in ear muffs.
Easy schmeasy!  Go out and create!

R2D2 Beanie

Here's a picture of my friend Claire in her birthday beanie.  What a smile!  I think she likes it!

I made a couple for the swap too.
They're hard to set up but then they knit up really quickly.

Tardis Hats

The Tardis hats. 
I decided to knit one up to test the size of a pattern.  I am currently in a private swap on SwapBot for a Tardis Hat and Scarf in exchange for a box of girly treasures for my Frannie for Christmas.
I'm glad I tested the pattern.  On a size 6 needle it's a bit snug.  I think it's perfect on a 7.  I tested it on a 7 needle too.  So I have 2 to sell. 
I also played around a bit with a coffee cup cozy too.  There are a ton of Tardis patterns out there!  I may just keep knitting the skein of yarn til I use it up for my swap gal.  Fun!

Comicon 2012

OK.  It's been a long time since I posted.  But I have been a busy knitter!  I have been getting ready for Comicon Nov 2012.  One of the girls I work with works a booth at Comicons with a friend of hers.  She asked me to make some hats to sell.
I made 2 Tardis Hats, 2 R2D2 beanies, 1 Princess Leia, 1 Spock hat, and a Yoda hat.

I'll post close ups too.
