I was inspired to make a fancy headband from this tutorial, but I don't have any velvet ribbon or feathers. What I did have was some black wool yarn and some black beaded vintage embellishments that look kind of feathery. It's just a strand of i-corn slipped over a cheap plastic headband and secured on the ends with a couple of stitches. My headband had little teeth which catches the wool nicely and keeps it from sliding around. I used a needle and thread to stitch the appliques onto the wool and I also sewed a piece of black felt to the backside of the feathers to add durability and keep the beads from catching on my hair. Don't you love it? I have been wearing it a lot! Now I just need to get my hands on some velvet so I can make myself some non-knitted accessories.

I have another one that I must find today so that I can show off my new kittens. I adopted three of them. Been plugging away at my managerial accounting class. Pondering what direction to take my little hobby business and trying not to delete everything in frustrated moments. I made some darling leaf garlands, a fancy headband, and a pair of gloves for my boy. 

Hope you enjoy this cheery video by Lisa Mitchell.

The rain is here! October is my favorite month in California because summer is still lingering around under the cover of fog and drizzle.

]]>Unicorn Diarieshttp://sushipie.squarespace.com/blog/2009/9/18/unicorn-diaries.htmlsushipie2009-09-19T00:24:15Z2009-09-19T00:24:15ZHi everyone.

I haven't posted in awhile because I have been going through some major life discoveries. One of them is learning that I have Aspergers syndrome. There is more where that came from as it connects to a lot of other issues but for now I will keep it simple. I would like to keep this blog about knitting and my other interests, etc. and not necessarily about my disability. But... since some of you may care about me and what else is going on in my life I wanted to let you know about my new blog called Unicorn Diaries. It's a blog where I can just ramble on about my experiences with AS as an emotional release. I will appreciate any support you are willing to give during this difficult transition. This is probably all I will mention about this here so if you are at all interested in my thoughts than bookmark the new blog now. It is brand new so I will be working on formatting and such a little bit at a time.

I hope to be back in the knitting groove soon. In fact I made another scarf that you will love.

Thanks friends.

]]>Bat For Lasheshttp://sushipie.squarespace.com/blog/2009/9/1/bat-for-lashes.htmlsushipie2009-09-01T22:13:59Z2009-09-01T22:13:59ZEven though I didn't want to go to the Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco because the Beastie Boys cancelled I still went and saw some good shows. It was a weird weekend though and the festival scheduling seemed pretty wacky. I got to see Pearl Jam and they were awesome of course, Mike McCready especially. I mean, who doesn't like Pearl Jam? I am a huge fan of Modest Mouse, and I am glad I got to see them, but their set was only an hour long and the sound system sucked. Dave Matthews was sweet and I watched them from really far away where the sound was waaay better. 

I also got to see Bat For Lashes! Here are some pics of Natasha rockin it during the show. She was amazing and just as good as the headliners.

And to end by proving that I am not always very bright... 

I walked right passed The Dead Weather and said, "That sounds just like Jack White." Well I didn't even think that was a possibility so I just kept walking, and it was totally him. omg. Idiot. Pay better attention to the schedule next time brilliant Jess, because THE DEAD WEATHER is never coming to a town near you ever again! Ha.

Another package I shipped out recently. Don't you love the new strawberry stamp I thrifted? I definitely see a theme of wild animals and fruit starting to materialize.

The sale is over, sad but true. I'm glad a couple of you got to take advantage of it. I also listed two new items.

]]>Thank You Ashleyhttp://sushipie.squarespace.com/blog/2009/8/22/thank-you-ashley.htmlsushipie2009-08-23T03:11:41Z2009-08-23T03:11:41Z

I sent Ashley a rough draft of my Indian Summer Beanie Pattern and she knit it up and sent me pics in less than a week. Wow, how exciting! It makes me beyond happy to see what other people make with my patterns. She found a couple of errors for me so now I can finish the final copy. I really love the color she chose. It would also be really pretty in a slightly variegated blue. Thanks again ashley, I hope you make these for all your friends and family, and thanks for letting me show off these pics of your new hat.
