At Blerdcon, I bought from several vendors. I mostly like to shop with artists. It is also important to shop with small businesses too. I am really bad at collecting information from artists. If you recognize the artis, let me know and I will give them a shout out.

I went to Blerdcon this last weekend. This year was my first time going to this convention. I enjoy being around like minded people of my own people.

Re work hood to Flapper Hat

I had made this hood and scarf but I don't like it. I am trying to create a flapper hat called a cloche. I did the main part of the hat. Now, I have to figure out how to do the brim without it looking like a bucket hat, lol.

Testing Yarn

At first, I did the project with the yarn I wanted to use but once I started doing complicated techniques... I didn't want to mess up my yarn. Cheap testing yarn

Yarn/Fabric: random cheap yarn I found

Fixing Bowler Hat to a Beanie

My original idea was a bowler hat. But it's too short, meaning not covering my ears. I decided to frog the brim of the hat. I completed the hat with a slip-stitch edge and the leftover yarn as a pom pom. Regardless, the hat covers my ears now.

I tried to start this sock a couple of years ago and made it too big. My second time, I made it too pointy. I'm frogging it again and hope the third times the charm.

I love plaid, but you don't find many purple plaid so... that is why I am working on a plaid knit cardigan. I love the look so far, and it's the first time working bottom up.
