First, thanks for having faith in me, I really do appreciate it.

He admitted that he gave up trying to understand what I do, musically or in any other regard, a few years ago. We have such radically different interests, artistic experiences, and tastes that there is virtually no common ground between a.) the things I make and b.) things he understands/likes. I think it was easier for him to be supportive when I was making things he enjoyed listening to.

(potentially enjoyable sidenote: I'm making everyone in my family christmas gifts this year. My brother is getting one of these, my sister gets one of these, my mom one of these. Due to the fact that he wouldn't know a good garment if it strangled him, my dad is getting the most boring navy blue tie I can muster.)

That is a nice looking vest. I really admire that you're able to make things like that, I tried to make a pair of gloves once and it was an absolute disaster. What do you think your best work has been?

One of these three:

I seriously want #2. Is that your tattoo on the monitor?

If I ever find more of the red wool, I just may be able to make that happen ;)

It is! I actually just started doing screen printing (the one pictured is embroidered), and I'll probably be making some patches soon, PM me if you'd like one.

Those are all very well done, you definitely have talent. That vest is great! I hope you continue to develop your skills.

I want the maroon sweater but with a Hubski logo as the patch.

Ooh, interesting idea - definitely might experiment with screen printing a fabric with the Hubski logo...

I'd buy it. Whatever you make. I'll buy it. Especially a dress shirt.

I'll PM you once I have some design ideas!
