More Consumerism (Stitches West market, part 2)
In my last Market post, I didn’t really show you any projects. Today, that’s all you get.
First up, the adorable cat toy kits I got from Knit Kits.
This one makes little felted catnip mice. Nip and bells included:
This one makes little felted catnip satchels:
The catnip was very enticing to the cats living at my “hotel” (aka, my best friend K’s house). Here’s Tori (7 months old) trying to climb into my suitcase with the kit:
Unfortunately, K kept a close eye on Tori, so she didn’t get to come home with me.
The first day of the Market was also good for getting assorted freebies. I signed up for Knit Kits e-mailing list and I got a free felted bracelet:
Next up, a beaded necklace/bracelet kit from Swallow Hill Creations:
Of course, I chose the purple kit. Comes with a ton of purple beads, some fine-gauge purple rayon cord, awesome magnetic claps, a flexi-beading needle to string all the beads on, and a Band-Aid. Why a Band-Aid? Because size 000 Addis can damage you!
Finally, I got the Myrna pattern from White Lies Designs. They’re known for their tailored shapes and lingerie patterns. It was great to see all the samples in their booth. I’d like to think I got this pattern for the sillouette, but more likely it was the purple sample. Hmm, maybe I should have gotten a kit…
