These are so fun to make! The size of the pom-pom will depend on the size of the donut-shaped pieces. The inner hole should be half the size of the original circle. I had some problems cutting the yarn between the paper pieces on Step 4, so I started cutting perpendicular to the donuts (horizontally...
Like the unveiling of a spanking new fortune 500 company product, I give you the newest in independent crafting technology, the new and improved collection of Mars Sock Monkeys for the Spring of 2008! Seattle/London raised Mars Sock Monkeys pictured from L to R: Stella, Frankie, Sheena and Lulu....
Elle sent me this link, and I had to make one... It whipped up pretty quickly. If you try it, the original blog the pattern was on has an error on line 25 (at least it did when I copied the pattern), it should be:MB4, K3, P5, K5, P1, K2, P3, K2, P1, K5, P5, K3, MB4. this is right after I finished...
I can't believe it's been over a month since I updated this blog. I've been busy. See the pictures? The bobble stitch sampler top needs assembly and some relatively minor finishing work, like adding the neck and sleeve borders. The Crystal Palace Bamboozle (this color is "Ember Glow") works up...
Today I finished my first sweater for myself! It's a Hardcore Cardigan by Ryan Marnell. It's really cool! I have a link to the pattern on knitty.com. I found it when I was looking for a real nerdy cardigan pattern, you know like the ones they used to wear in like the 50's. So them I found this...
I decided a few weeks ago to take on the challenge of designing my own socks. I knew I wanted them to be simple with a pattern you could have memorized almost immediately. The socks needed to show off the wonderful colors of the Cashmino from SockPixie. I also wanted to go toe-up. I love this method...
I hope everyone has thus far had a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend. I've been keeping myself busy over my vacation... My family had a small surprise party for me on my 30th birthday. It was nice to get together and enjoy a pleasant summer day... made even better with presents for me! I spent most...
Here is a quick picture parade of my latest FO, Ysolda Teague's Rose Red. Oh, and I did some more holiday yarn shopping at Wool & Co. in Geneva, IL. BUT! I was good and only got yarn for patterns in my Ravelry queue. Totally unrelated: I am seriously flipping out over tomorrow's Doctor Who episode....
Tendo um casamento de outrém (neste caso primo do meu namorado) marcado e ao qual hei-de assistir, tive de iniciar os preparativos da indumentária com alguma antecedência. O vestido, já está escolhido e vai mesmo. Decidi fazer um projectozinho em crochet em fio de algodão. Um bolerozinho com...
I wanted something quick to knit, and it turns out this was incredibly quick to knit. I made it while sitting at work watching The Sarah Jane Adventures. The last time I made a Calorimetry it took two nights and turned out gigantic. So, this time, I cast on 96 stitches instead of 120, and I worked...
Well, not really. BUT! I finished my One Skein Wonder, and am in love with it. That second picture may or may not be of me. I'll let you decide what you want to believe. This makes my 30th project, so I'm pretty close to the 33 mark and it's just hitting the half-way mark of the year. SO. I am...
I was doing so good with the monthly thing and it kind of went kablooie (and I was unaware that was spelled that way until Wiktionary told me so). - We've had 2 elections since last time. We found out yesterday we'll have another special and then the big one in November. We are electioned out and...
Today was world wide knit in public day! It was a blast, there was a great turnout, and it was BEAUTIFUL out. Course, I spent most of the time yapping and eating kettle corn. But I did get some work done on Tammy's hoodie. :) Also, Cindy was quick enough to actually get a picture of me knitting in...
If you had to write your autobiography in 6 words, what would you write? Submitted by mitzie. I laughed, lived, learned and loved...and knitted. I'm clearing out the guest room because we dropped off my neice with her parents. Now I am unsure whether to turn it into a library or game room or what....
Yeah ... well sort of. I finished writing my thesis, but I just got back a list of revisions from my advisor today. By the end of the day Thursday I'll have my revisions taken care of, and apparently I can defend next week. *fingers crossed* I kind of have to defend next week if I plan on getting it...
If you knit or crochet, or have any of the items on this websites needs list, please consider contributing. I worked in a NICU and know how much our little caps meant to the parents who wouldn't get to bring home a baby, just a bag of mementos. thanks. www.freewebs.com/carepackage/index.htm
Hi everyone! I've made two more Nintendo DS cases - made to fit a Nintendo DS Lite video gaming portable system. They can also fit a variety of other things since it is a zippered knit pouch - your camera, iPod, cell phone, make-up, or anything else you would like to organize or transport around...
There has been so much going on lately, but I'll just state what's on my mind now: my To Do list. 1. Get a Job. I am going to get a butt load of applications to fill out and then turn in in order to look at my options. yesterday I asked someone at Dollar General for an application (I'm not picky)...
I'm a sucker for closeout yarn sales. Especially online closeout yarn sales. Ever since I discovered Herrschner's and its affiliated sites, YarnSale.com and YarnCollection.com, I've been doomed. So much pretty fiber, so little money! Because the stock is mostly closeouts, sometimes the color...
I have decided to take it upon myself to make a scarf in leu of the Fourth Doctor. I think I posted at some point about buying the yarn I needed to make it happen. Well, tonight I'm finally giving it a go. To be honest, though, I've started and restarted a handful of times already, because I wasn't...
