prototyping in cranberry

100
knitting up some design samples, i reeally love this cranberry colorway. i took an almost break from knitting last month to work on some client artwork but i'm back up on the horse. it's kind of a challenge to not have a one-track life. i love drawing as much as i do knitting, and i believe it's possible to have both in my life without feeling guilt of neglecting one or the other.

finlet

this is finlet,  the newest addition to my shop. it's a neckwarmer that i actually put together a few months ago that i really love but had mixed feelings about making it available to buy, mostly because of the amount of time spent actually knitting it. for a long time i kept the prototype myself but recently made the decision to make another for the shop, since i loved it so much.
one big challenge i have with selling my knitwear is pricing them in a way that could seem reasonable to customers. i spend many hours swatching, searching for yarns, knitting and ripping back, and writing the patterns for my pieces, but there is always this lingering fear that despite my best effort, the level of craft in my work won't be made clear enough to people browsing my shop. i guess when all is considered the best i can do is price in a way that is fair to my skill, service and high level of quality of my materials, and take the best more true-to-life photos i can and hope there are people out there who recognize that value and choose to make bapsicrafts a part of their wardrobe and lifestyle.
finlet is a much-loved design of mine, and i hope it finds a good home and owner to keep warm this winter.
