If I ever run out of yarn, the world will end. No, seriously.

Okay, so. I finished two craft projects, gave one of them away before I took a picture, and then promptly started another. Pic spam!

Purple scarf with invisible pattern and bwankie for baby, ie me. )

pic spam, school teaches you to sleep sitting up, real life, projects make me not bored, yarn monsters feed on your life

I'm coming to live with you and use all your yarn. *rolls around*

Feel free!

You'll have to share with the cats, though. All the yarn makes them go a bit nutty. :D

I would gladly snuggle with cats if I get access to all that yarn. Cats are a bonus!!

Yay! A fellow craft-slash-cat woman. We can be weird shrews together! \o/

I like this plan!! Crazy cat ladies with knitting and crocheting and the writing of the stories.

:D :D :D :D :D

Great. Now I have to run around all day with hearts on my face... :P

At the risk of sounding like my own grandmother: Do you have any craft posts? Pictures? I do so like pictures.

I would be honored to share my pictures with you. :)

Also, are you on ravelry? I need more knitting buddies. :D Also....I want to learn how to crochet, it looks like fun but I've never been able to figure out the secret to it. *ponders this*

ANYWHO. PICTURES!!

These are the first mittens I ever made, I used double pointed needles rather then magic loop, and while they are warm, they also have some holes and whatnot in them.

In semi coherent order:

No, no ravelry. But I'm in town here seven days a week. :P

The mittens! I love the mittens, they are adroable, do you have the pattern, I want, I need, I have a ton of yarn left from the scarf, it'd look awesome!!!! Please?

The lace pattern is fantastic. I have a bunch of really, really fine lace yarn (0.5 needle, ohgod), that this might look really cool with.

You are very brave to knit a sweater. The most complicated thing I've dared to do yet is a sleeveless vest and I'm not getting anywhere with it.

And that's adorable, your box looks super neat compared to my basket. I'll take a picture tomorrow. It's a yarn avalanche waiting to happen.

Scarf pattern in a new comment box, because I've never done this and it might take a few words.

Scarf pattern. I suck at patterns and make them up as I go, so. Also, I'm translating this as I write. Please don't throw things at me.

- basic pattern: 1knit 1purl, 1knit 1purl.
(- What do you call the stitches at the beginning and the end of each row? Because you obviously need those and I don't know the English word.)
- return row: same pattern in reverse, ie, 1knit goes on 1knit from the previous row, 1purl goes on 1purl.

- squares pattern for 61stitches (my scarf): 8 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 8 ( ... )

Also, pictures. If you follow the Projects make me not bored tag, you should get to all my artsy fartsy stuff I have pictures off.

No no, this is a good pattern, far easier to read then some of the things I've found, where you just stare at the pattern and wonder if it's actually written in Klingon or some bastardized form of a dead language no ones heard of in ten thousand years.

I have some fantastic red yarn given to me by a friend for scarves, so I'll make her one in this pattern and she'll love me forever. :D

And then. I'LL POST PICTURES OF IT. 8D

You don't know it yet, but you've created a monster. :3

Happy to help. I get lonely in me special-freak corner over here.

YAY, PICTURES!

Oh, hey, here's some actually useful information: I used a 7 needle for the scarf. So unless the yarn you have is ginormous, you'll probably need to add stitches.

I told you, I fail at patterns. I might not write in weird code, but I leave out everything helpful.
