Minor shopping porn moment

[susie_flo]

First of all, tvted is a very bad girl. She emailed me a link to something entirely frivolous and now I find myself hearting these... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23396193

But they are quite expensive, so help me out people...

The burgundy ones are absolutely gorgeous. However, would you wear them in the coming months given that it's almost summer? I ask because I'm in the process of packing all my woolly arm warmers away for six months.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

That is a very good point indeed... damn you!

[missfairchild.livejournal.com]

Think of it as six months in which to save $80 plus postage by designing and knitting far better ones ;o)

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

I like your thinking!

[kissmeforlonger.livejournal.com]

$80??!!

*fans self*

Especially as the pink ones look badly made - wrong yarn for the pattern, I think, making the "lacy flourish" lok like dropped stitches.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Yes that was vaguely niggling me too... the red ones are much better.
(I shall eschew them and go rummage in my stash of wonders...)

Given the price of the finished article, you could make your own using the very finest materials for less.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I remain bamboozled by the fact that I am not allowed to view my poll results until I have filled it in myself. Is this normal?

[kissmeforlonger.livejournal.com]

Follow the 'view answers' link and you should be able to then.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

I may be being thick... it's just that I don't seem to get that link until I have submitted a response to the poll.

I prefer the burgundy ones too, but I agree that you could probably make a fantastic pair yourself :)

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Ooh, maybe out of kidsilk haze.... with lacy trimmings (which would be just as nice on a pair of fingerless gloves, come to think of it). Roll on next winter.

[gylfinir.livejournal.com]

If you make a pair, I may commission another pair from you ;)

[kissmeforlonger.livejournal.com]

Very pretty indeed. However you could do just as well yourself given your knitting prowess.

People have been admiring that Etsy necklace you bought for me btw. I wore it on Saturday night.

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Ah, great! Glad you liked it. I thought it was fab but maybe could lose a tiny bit of length off the beads...

[kissmeforlonger.livejournal.com]

I have a thicker neck than you ;-)

[kissmeforlonger.livejournal.com]

Oh look... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24211795&ref=sr_gallery_2&&ga_search_query=corset&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=6&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Wow.... that's outstanding!

[purlygirl.livejournal.com]

wow both of those frothy knitted bits are gorgeous - the 2nd ones seem mildly more practical but the first pair or so gloriously girly...ah, I'm no help at all. thx for visiting ephemerology, by the way - i'm using my olde livejournal i.d. jsut to comment , i'm a lapsed livejournaller.

Hello there... nice of you to drop by! (Out of interest, I think my LJ allows you to comment on posts using OpenID, i.e. using your blogger username, in the same way that I used my LJ username to comment on your blogger posts... haven't tested it though)
