I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter
Captain's Log, Stardate 05.06.2008
So, I had this extra yarn in my stash, a nice pink Jiffy yarn. I’ve been making scarves and hats to give to my youth group girls as Christmas presents, and I’ve got a ton of scarves. I was tired of scarves.
I thought, why not a bag? I have the yarn and the inclination.
So I started. This is the reason I do not do a lot of multiple colors in my knitting.
Isn’t it hideous? Aside from the fact I have an extra hole at the top (you can’t see it) and the placement of the straps at the bottom isn’t quite even with the bottom panel, it looks like someone tried to stuff the poor thing in a girdle.
I know what happened—I was too tight in my tension when I was doing that topmost strip. Actually, if you shake the bag out, the other two strips of color are a tad tight, too. The bag’s actual silhouette looks a bit like my own—lots of lumps.
It’s … serviceable. Maybe I can trick a Junior High girl into thinking the pink color is cute enough to disregard the fact it looks like a squashed head.

I'll bid on it.
Two dollars.
It's cute.
