I'm alive I'm alive!
I've been working on soap sale stuff all week for my event last night. I'm so relieved it's over! I made $200 (after Habitat for Humanity got their cut), and I think that's really good considering it was my first sale ever! My table got a lot of traffic (more than most of the home businesses did like Longaberger and Tupperware). I sold out of 3 varieties of soap, a foot set that I did up and almost sold out of lotion.
Now I can concentrate on all this knitting I have to do, and on getting the house in order. We have lots of people coming over Saturday-- dh is setting off the trebuchet, and my family is coming up from Ohio.
The only knitting I've done this week is a few rounds on my Harlot2 poncho when I was subbing one day this week. I did pick up a copy of Knit.1, and got my Winter Interweave in the mail although I haven't really looked through it too well. Knit.1 is definitely geared towards the high school/college age crowd. I felt so old reading it-- and I'm only 26! I was interested in a cardigan and another sweater, although I'll probably sub Patons Classic Wool for the Wool Ease. I LOVE Patons Classic Wool-- it's delish, has great yardage, and is inexpensive!
