Haiti auction items

[vilakins]

Good news, everybody! [/Professor Farnsworth] I seem to have formatting and icons back on LJ! At least, they've been here for a few hours, so I'm optimistic that they're staying. :-D

Since I finally finished the last of my help_haiti commissions, I can post about them.

I raised US$85 (thanks to some kind bidders paying more than they actually bid) with the following (click to see full-size):


This necklace and earring set (the ones on the left)


These ninja mitts, at least ones in the same yarn


This scarf, knit to order


And this pic of blind Avon and seeing-eye wolf (for kalinda001, since many of you will have recognised the theme). :-)

I'd have bid for some items myself if I had a job, though the custom plushies would have been way out of range.

They're gorgeous colours: cream, caramel, toffee, and chocolate! (Like this icon!) But I know what you mean about the money. If I had some, I'd have bid on some things.

Maybe if either of us has a job, I'll make you one for next winter. :-)

Yes, and brown is my favorite color, so the mixture of them all is very appealing to me. I especially love the contrast that the cream gives it all.

Maybe someday I'll get back into my clay creations and we can do a trade, even.

YES! I'd totally go for a trade!

If I thought I'd sell them on Etsy, I'd make more of those scarves in that yarn in different colours, as it turned out so well.

I think a trade would be the most fun, too. :)

Why not try to sell one on Etsy? It's super easy to set up an account and although it does cost to list, it's like less than a dollar to list a few things so not a huge loss if nothing sells. And if something does sell, then money!

I might give it a go. I love knitting for the relaxation and pleasure of making things, but there are only so many items I can wear. I imagine scarves and mitts (and jewellery) would be best as they fit anyone.
