I had an eventful weekend:

1. My Summer Tour Ebook of Knitting Patterns got some hot press on Chicagoist!

2. Then I got hit by a car while I was riding my bike:

Upper Thigh Leg Bruise!

Holy Ouch!

Luckily I landed on the car that hit me instead of the ground, so I only ended up with this intense bruise from where my handlebars tried to catch me.

PSA: Y’all take a glance over your right shoulder BEFORE taking an abrupt right turn into the bike lane, ok?

3. I didn’t do too much moving around this weekend besides alternating hot and cold packs on my leg, so I made these:

Bow Headbands!

Six Bow Headbands! And not one is Detroit Tigers colors. I made them using left over yarn, mostly cotton scraps, from other projects.

Why did I make six bow headbands? Because…

4. I got into Renegade Craft Fair Chicago! I’ll be sharing a booth with Caitlin (yes, Caitlin’s Cardi Caitlin) who makes Sweater Toys. Cute right? I’m going to mostly be pimping the Sweatshop Knit Kits, but I might as well have some bow headbands ready, just in case.

I’m so grateful:

a) To be alive and (mostly!) well and that I have so many people around me concerned for my well being and so willing to help me when I’m in need.

b) That the ebook has been so lovingly received!

c) That I have the ability to make the most of kinda crappy situations. Any excuse to knit a lot!

d) That I’ll get to spend an entire weekend pimping my kits and hand knits with other amazing crafters doing the same.

e) That I think it’s ok to use both numbering and lettering in the same post.

So I’ve got 3 months to get ready for Renegade, pump out a fall knitting class schedule, perhaps maybe release another ebook *cough cough*, get some Summer Knit Kits out (JULY 19TH! SAVE THE DATE!). Holy hell.
