I started working on my Luna scarf again, and realized that the pattern I have saved on my computer is wrong. It's not an easy wrong, it repeated a row and one of them isn't complete and the other one seems incorrect. I can't locate any of my written out patterns nor can I find my already completed scarf. I have a feeling the version of the ( Read more... )

So after a month of working on those stupid slippers for my husband, ripping them out repeatedly because they were freaking huge, I got them all finished and guess what? He's having to stuff socks in the toes because they are still gigantic. May be next winter I'll remake them, but right now I'd set them on fire if I tried to fix them ( Read more... )

Am I the only one that can tell that the electric guitar is off key? I can't even play a guitar because I never practice, but I can tune one. I had to leave a bar early yesterday because I just couldn't handle more off key music. Well, that and it was my knitting club meeting (yes, we knit in a bar) and we had to sit outside. I have a wonderful ( Read more... )

A friend asked me to make her step-dad slippers for Christmas. It has ended up being more difficult then I thought to accomplish.

The first pattern I picked out, looks pretty good. It uses a lot of yarn though, so I bought extra just in case and figured I could return whatever I don't use. Unfortunately the pattern is sorta crummy. So much so ( Read more... )

I can't believe I forgot to post all about finishing my Twi'lek hat. So much for my good intentions of posting about my crafting more often. Oh well, I'll just have to get better about that.

So first up are all my pictures of my finished hat.

I did actually get around to blocking the Luna Lovegood scarf today. I even started blocking the scarf I made for my brother's girlfriend's daughter. I didn't finish the latter one, it's such a long scarf and my back and feet were starting to protest me standing so long on the title painstakingly pinning everything.

I finally got my iPhone to work long enough for pictures and uploading of pictures, so I get to show off my new belly dancing costume. I'm so proud of it!

Trying to write down what I'm doing while making a crochet scarf from scratch is much tougher then I thought it would be. I have no problem recreating my stitches, but I'm having a hard time explaining what I'm doing so that someone else would get it. I'm not even sure someone else would understand my chart even though it makes sense to me ( Read more... )

I've been working on several knitting projects that are taking forever to finish. So to make myself feel like I'm getting somewhere and actually get to finish something I started a crochet project last night for a little head kerchief thingie. Of course I got stumped pretty early on, I just couldn't figure out what the designer was trying to say ( Read more... )

For a Christmas present to my wonderful 3 yr old, I made him a glow-in-the-dark dragon puppet. He doesn't seem to want to use the puppet himself, instead he wants either his Daddy or me to do it for him. I think it amuses him more to interact with it that way. It's made car rides more fun, I'll tell you what. I'm really good at cracking my ( Read more... )
