Now Offering Custom Made Gloves !

I`ve had so many people commenting on my Crochet Ribbit Fingerless Gloves Pattern and quite a few requesting pairs that I`ve decided to start completing custom orders for them and also trying to make some pre-made pairs to add to the shop (I`m also in the process of writing some new patterns but I`ll blog about this later)

They will be $20 each plus shipping, which I think is fairly reasonable !

Here`s my first pre-made pair !


Neural Coloured Ribbit Fingerless Gloves

I love these gloves so much ! The only thing that bothers my about them is how difficult they are to photograph ! lol

I`m a 'Guest Artist'

Oh yes I am :D

I`ve been discoved (rofl) by a lovely woman from Rayela Arts who invited me to be a guest artist on her blog Fiber Focus. Obviously I jumped at the chance !

She noticed my mohawk hats first,

And then some of my other crochet pieces. It`s so nice for someone to actually appreciate what I do (and to let me know ^_^)

So, thank you very much Rachel ! And if anyone would like to see the article (you know you want to !) please take a look at it on the Fiber Focus Blog And comments are always appreciated !!

As I said before, each one of these mohawk hats is completly OOAK so If you have a colour scheme in mind drop me a line and I can list a custom item for you ! (How sweet is that !? lol)
