Weekend Craft Update
Finished the short-row ribbed turban; green_trilobite photographed it for me, but the details on a black hat don't show up well, so I'm re-knitting it in red. This should also confirm the pattern so I can write it down. I want to call the main hat "Mother Ship" and the detachable ornament which can double as a fascinator in its own right "Escape Pod." This attempt to tweak the pattern didn't work so well, though.
Also, I'm tempted to bling up these wedges, to which I've already added ribbon ankle ties; the heels aren't actually cork, they're some kind of smooth foam printed to look like cork. After I get paid next week I'm thinking of hitting the dollar store for some acrylic paint (maybe purple!) and rhinestones; or I could draw on the heels in sharpie once I've put down a base coat. We'll see.

As are the wedges...the last time I modified a pair of shoes I set to a thrift-store pair of low heels with a pair of cut-up glittery nylons, leftover white satin and silver sequins to serve as the shoes for my Frank N Furter costume. lol. They were exactly good enough to wear in a dark theatre under a seat. XD

Now I want to bling up my comfy but woefully unattractive black flats. The ribbons are a lovely touch, and the thought of purple paint + rhinestones sound fetching.
