Instagram post 2058253488009712595_7923630300 #keepingitrealchallenge Day 2 and I am semi-curated already. Oops! I'm counting this as real life since I was unable to crop out the kitchen table mess in the background.  I don't have kids or pets, so my "helpers not helping" are my two triceratops models on top of my keyboard. @hi.ravelry #knittersofinstagram #knitting #knittersofravelry #ravelrydesigner #dancingtriceratopsdesigns
Instagram post 2057744554383378493_7923630300 #keepingitrealchallenge Hi, all. I started my designing with toys (specifically dinosaurs when a friend needed a small triceratops one Christmas) and now I am branching out into accessories.  OK, now I have a bunch of hats waiting for beauty shots and for me to finalize the patterns. This is me in one of the hats during an attempt to document them using the timer on my camera and a tripod. I'm working on figuring out how to make more than pocket change from designing. @hi.ravelry #knittersofinstagram #knitting #knittersofravelry  #ravelrydesigner #dancingtriceratopsdesigns
