'Tasche-y Jumper

This mo-tastic jumper was an ongoing project for me for most of 2011.

It became the task of my idle hands whilst at prompt corner cueing shows on tour.

Sadly, it was quite a marathon, and so I've realised it's not something I can add to my products to sell. I do love wearing it very much though.

Moustaches!

I'm hoping to get back to some proper shop work soon, but at the moment I've been concentrating on the book like a mad hermit woman.

Here's the 'tasche-y outcome of recent endeavours:

Book Research

At the moment, my fingers are mostly busy working away at designs for my book of disguises.

Here's a picture of me doing some comedy research:

Beards Spotted Live on Stage...

Way back when, in the murky month of October, a few fuzzy treats found their way to the stage in a production of Shakespeare's The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

The beards, and the Outlaws that wore them, have not been seen since...

Movember 2011

Hi gang,

It's that time of year again, and to celebrate your charitable hirsuteness, I shall once again be donating 2% of may sales this month to Movember.

So knock yourself out with some tashy delights:

Pop me an email if you're after something specific or have a new beardy idea for me.

For a bit of inspiration, here is a page from Knitting Today! Magazine (March/April 2011) celebrating the tash:

Happy beards to you all x

Disguises

Hi folks,

Yes, so I've been away for quite some time... Turns out I'm not a natural at this blogging malarky. I'm determined to improve that though. Especially with Movember and Christmas coming up...

So, latest news: I've been asked to submit some ideas for a potential book of knitted and crocheted disguises. Suffice to say, I was more than a little excited about this concept, and got making. Here are some of my ideas thus far:

I'm currently working on a rasta hat with dreadlocks, which has been quite fun. But I would love to hear some of your ideas. After all, this will be a pattern book, so let me know what you'd like to make.

Movember!

So folks, November is here and you know what that means. Charitable menfolk of the world are growing facial hair to raise money to fight prostate cancer. Hooray! If you want to know more, check out the website here: http://uk.movember.com/

And if you want to show your allegiance but are struggling a wee bit, there's always Wife of Brian. For the whole of November I will be donating 2% of my sales to the charity.

While you're here, I thought you might like to see a couple of new creations. An iphone cozy, and The Groucho:

The Groucho has already made it to the front page of etsy:

Good times indeed in moustache-land.

Get in touch if you want some knitted Movember love.
