Maui, Cycling, August 31, 2008 Originally uploaded by ochawan Hitomi and I went to Maui for my former boss's and good friend Boon's wedding. For our main activities, we considered kayaking some of the areas around Maui, but then later we later decided to cycle. Looking at a map of the island, I...
Well, how many times does one get a choice in ones own kitchen? LOL Hubby and I differ on how our coffee is made. I'm really old fashioned and prefer the perk type. Tastes better to me. And yes, I do have a coffee pot that can go on the stove to "perk" coffee. Works for camping also. But, hey, how...
Well, the crochet keeps on. I have a couple of larger projects I am working on, but had to do this elephant. I did her in hot pink! Hey, can never have to many "pink elephants"!!! LOL Even her eyes are pink. I changed vanna's pattern a touch. I wanted the trunk up instead of down. And she is tiny,...
I've made a lot of progress on my hat but it's still slow going. I was struggling with the cable needle, which wasn't really appropriate for the yarn or the regular needle size of the project. I switched to just using a split ring stitch marker and it's definitely going faster. No more worry about...
I have made Amigurumi! I have been concidering trying to sell the pattern for these cat-thing aliens to a magazine or something. They're pretty cute, or at least my younger sisters tell me so. Also, I am traveling. The goal is to reach New Hampshire from California. Thus far it has taken me two...
Now that I have successfully passed all of my masters comps I can resume craftiness! I decided to make another squid. I can't remember if I mentioned this here or not, but I am working out a swap/trade with Gretchen Funk, one of the co-owners of the Triple Rock Social Club in MN. Triple Rock puts on...
Please check out www.flickr.com/knittycat for larger photos and all of the peeps. Why knitting Peeps is fun... You don't have to worry about gauge. You rarely have to weave in ends (they just get buried into the peep). You can use any yarn that pleases you, including scraps. They are generally very...
Oh yes. A title that actually fits the post. I love when it works out that way. After the blegh that was my last Gabu (which I gifted owned) I decided to give it another go. I made some changes and got it to turn out much better. I used the same yarn--Knit Picks Shine Worsted--but used an E hook...
Thank you for dropping by. This store has been up and running since 1981 back in Hong Kong with three store locations. It was later decided that we would move to Canada, and one location has been running since 1990. We carry Japanese yarn and accessories and some European yarn mainly from Italy. We...
I finished yet another quick and dirty project. Actually, it's not dirty, it's cute. But it was quick. The colors are horrid because the lighting in my apartment is horrid too. I really need to whip up that DIY macro studio. This is Birds of a Feather, and is--if I am keeping track--#9 of my 33 in...
Please check out www.flickr.com/knittycat for larger photos and all of the peeps. A pattern for the Thing?! Is it possible that she's FINALLY finished it?? Well, It is possible... Yes! I've finally finished writing the pattern! Whew! No wonder it took me so long to MAKE him! I had no idea how much...
Roxycraft's latest crochet pattern, Big Blue, features sleepy Suncatcher Eyes: Congratulations to Tamie on her new book too!
This new design is available only in my Etsy shop right now. If they are received well, I will add them to Suncatcher Eyes.
I just spent the evening crocheting... my things for the 5 things oceanic swap. I ended up with wee jellyfish with googly eyes. By the fifth one I think I finally got the design right, as I just made them up as I went along. I wouldn't call them amigurumi, but they did make us laugh. The Staffords...

Well, he's not really a mammoth, he's an elephant. Or a miniature crochet interpretation of an elephant. He's fuzzy, though! I haven't really crocheted anything other than blankets, scarves, or trims before, so I was a bit apprehensive about trying to follow a pattern (particulary as the US patterns...
All of these crochet patterns are available at the Suncatcher Eyes website. Enjoy!
My pattern for The Ogilvies was published recently in the 2008 Crochet Pattern-a-Day Calendar. I'm so excited! Psst... it's also available for purchase at Suncatcher Eyes.
I decided to use my last free evening before master qualifying exam terror to make some amis. #11 & #12, go me! s
