So I joined a swap on Craftster that was bird themed. Whoo! My partner was PinkChick. Here’s what I sent her: An amigurumi peacock! The body is actually teal, but for some reason, my camera has a problem picking up that color. **shrug** There’s a pattern for a crochet peacock on Ravelry, but it wasn’t [...]

All right guys, I finally finished and sent my swap package for the Yarnie vs. Sewists swap on Craftster. My partner was MissDolly, and we decided to craft each other’s lists (we each had five items). Here is everything I made for MissDolly (and warning–the last one is probably NSFW). Pattern: None, it’s a top-down [...]
OWS stuff

In my most recent OWS claim, I claimed leighi123 for fingerless mitts and little stuffies for her two-year-old. Here’s what I made: Just a ribbed tube with a thumb hole. Very simple, no shaping. I used US 2 dpns and Trekking XXL (the same yarn I used in my last baby knitting adventure). Gator! I [...]

So for my lastest OWS adventure, I claimed JodiLynn85 for slippers. Fast and fun to make, and now I’ll probably make some for myself. Take a look: Pattern: Mary Jane Slippers Yarn: Bernat Alpaca Blend Hook: H8/5 mm Mods: Worked an extra toe round, only used one color. These came out pretty well, I think. [...]

So as I mentioned a couple of days ago, I am participating in a Futurama-themed swap over on Craftster.org. For those of you not familiar with the show… it’s awesome. It’s a cartoon that takes place in the year 3000 in the city of New New York, and it’s full of clever math and science [...]

So I claimed for another round of OWS, as I said before. This round, I claimed luckdragon for Domo-Kun fingerless mitts and some amiguruimi, both of which turned out to be for her daughter. So this is what I made: Pattern: My own, which I based on pictures of mitts on Craftster. Yarn: Cascade 220 [...]

Thing number one: A chapstick cozy: Pattern: Chapstick/Lip Balm Holder Yarn: Lily Sugar N’ Cream, colorway was like, strawberry or somesuch. Hook: F/3.75 mm Mods: Probably? Added a loop to attach to my keychain. It’s functional, and that’s great. Whee, always having chapstick! I’m totally addicted. Thing number two: A spinning FO! Fiber: Random wool [...]
Halloweeeeeeeeeens

My school apparently thinks Halloween is Friday, so I got to dress up twice, plus the Halloween party that I went to last week. Unfortunately, I only had one costume and it was difficult enough to come up with that idea to begin with. Somewhat unoriginally, I was a bat. While this sounds like the [...]
Bookmark Swap

So I joined another swap, even though I said I wouldn’t. This was a small one: we just had to craft two bookmarks based on the themes our partner gave us. My partner was beeker and she made me some awesome bookmarks: My themes were knitting, art deco, dinos/animals, and Star Wars/space. The first two [...]

More on the Ongoing Wish Swap: I had two claims in a short-ish period of time, and since they both received, here is what I made: For Leighi123, a crochet sandwich: I used random scraps of acrylic yarn I had lying around and made up some patterns. There’s lettuce, cheese, hard boiled eggs, onion rings, [...]
