All The Sequins

 I'm gonna let that sink in for a bit.

...

I might have bought some sequins. Quite a lot of sequins.

I originally needed some silver sequins for my Christmas show costume, and was having a hard time finding enough of them for a decent price. And then I found six auctions on TradeMe starting at $7 each. And I got all six! In total, there are 2kgs of sequins here (for my non-metric readers, that's like 4.5lbs!)

They're absolutely gorgeous in person, really bright and shimmery. My mother-in-law - who was darling enough to collect them for me as they were in her city - told me over the phone when she'd picked them up that the greens and blues really needed to be made into a mermaid or Rainbow Fish costume, and I do have to agree with her. 

So now I am the proud owner of enough sequins for my Christmas show, as well as an absolute tonne more costumes past that!

Knitting - progress!

Just a wee progress post to show how far I've gotten with my knitting - I'm rather proud. It's several rows of stocking stitch (you can't tell cause looking at it now I took a pic of the wrong side *headdesk* I'm very clever, really), and now I've started with ribbed stitching.

 

I'm rather chuffed, I didn't think I'd pick it up so quick. Still no idea what this will become, but right now I'm just happy to be doing it. And yup, for those playing at home, this was taken with my knitting resting on my Snoopy blanky. Because I am just that cool.

Happy Crafting! x
