Some really usefull surfing

OK, so my first craftshow of the season is over. It was not bad. I did alot of talking and should probably of had a cup out fromt with a sign saying knitting advice $0.50! I think I gave alot of people ideas on Saturday.

Sold all but one of my scarves. Probably could have sold many more if I had knitted more. They are getting funkier as I go. Now I have orders to fill.

Anyway.. some cool ideas for knitting found today

Art by the inch challenge!

So it begins...

It is November 1st and the challenge I made for myself was to create 2500 inches of art this month. This means that I need to create a little more than 83 square inches a day. It translates into roughly a little less than 1 sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper. Doesn't sound like much? It is to me. I like detailed work. A finished piece that large would take me quite of bit of time to think about let alone do. A huge doodle might do it but then I would feel I wasn't really making an effort to create.

It also translates into 20 2" x 2"pieces per day. That is alot but I think I am going to start with that size. i figure that is a usable size for doing something with the art I create. I ahve a need to make anything I make useful. Not that hanging things up on my wall doesn't mean it isn't useful. I just admire the extra bonus of being able to use beautiful things.

So today I am going to make some blanks to take home with me. I have so much on my plate already, I can just imagine how impressed my husband is going to be with this one.

I am challenging myself to post every day this month as well and update the gallery of art I create!
