FO Friday - October 5, 2012

Selfish knitting! I feel like my knitting has been all about other people lately. (probably because it has been)

But yay! Something for me! And I lurves it so much!!!

I've finished my yummy and sparkly Sexy Doctor Who scarf! The sparkle was pretty impossible to capture in the pics, but I assure you it's there.

You can kinda see the glint of glitter here

Also? I should really use my actual camera and not the one on my phone to take FO pics. They'd turn out much better I think.

But, YAY! My fall/winter/until I get bored with it scarf is done!

WIP Wednesday: September 19, 2012

I seem to have more WIPs than finished stuff these days.... mainly because I get too lazy to weave in ends or block stuff. But this week I'm hoping to remedy that and I'll possibly have something to show off for FO Friday :)

Lately, I've been doing a lot of catch-up for Made to Order items for the shop, but I've been scratching out some time to work on some clothing for the trip to Portugal (which I'll probably have to get FO pics of while I'm there). I've also made some time to work on a scarf for myself, to replace the scarf that I lost last year.

Seriously, perfect colour combo and CASHMERE



This scarf is where the Baana love came from, so naturally, the replacement will be the same pattern. It's a shame though, the yarn was one of a kind, so I won't get to have anything close to the original ever again... Sadsies

Anyhoo, I've picked out some faboosh sparkly yarn for the replacement, the colourway is Sexy (inspired by Doctor Who!) and from the same indie-dyer as the yarn for the original scarf, Nerd Girl Yarns.

I've actually been sitting on this yarn for quite some time, waiting for it to tell me what it wants to be, so I can't wait to be finished! I hope it'll be ready in time to be worn on colder evenings while we're away (even though I'm being told there probably won't be cold enough evenings, a girl can dream I like to be prepared).

Happy Wednesday!

Check out more WIPs at Tami's Amis!

Oh. My. Gallifrey...

Did you know that there's an entire forum for TARDIS Builders???? I didn't. But now that I do I can't look away! I'm starting to wonder if I can make one of these for my home.... especially after seeing this Half Scale TARDIS that user astromark made for his gorgeous kitty, Kaylee.

Dude, my cats would lose their shit for this!

Seriously, Spicy, June, and Penny I need one of these!

Also, one of these...

WIP Wednesday - April 4, 2012

I've got a few things on the go right now, some knitting, and finally, some sewing! I'm so happy to be back at the sewing machine again! So this week's WIP Wednesday will be a little different. I'll be showing off not one, but three WIPs! YOU'RE WELCOME

First up, the knitting. I have yet another sweater for a teacup human on the needles. I seriously can't get enough of knitting these things! They go so fast!

Next up, I've been working on two sewing projects at once. While they are very similar, they do have differences in the details. As I'm sewing them at the same time, sometimes there's some forgetfulness on my part regarding the differences between the two, so there's been some ripping out and re-sewing the last few days. But all in all, things are moving along nicely.

One of these geeky items will be off to live in Australia! HOW COOL IS THAT???

Don't forget to check out Tami's Amis to see what everyone else is up to :)

More Nerdiness

What has two thumbs, more Dr. Who fabric, and big plans? This girl!

I'm a Spinning Fool

Seems to me that making a list has helped me somewhat in keeping organized. I finished the sock required for the test knit before the deadline I set for myself, finished the Dr. Who mini-satchel I was working on and did a whole bunch of spinning. I spun 5 skeins of yarn to be exact.

I'm really happy with how the bag turned out. It's a mini-satchel, so I guess more like a purse than anything, but soon it will have a bigger messenger bag to keep it company.

It's bigger on the inside

I did A LOT of spinning so far this month. Part of this is because I was ill, and spent my time at home on the couch with tea and my wheel.

Look at all the pretties!

I guess I wasn't kidding when I said "Spin All The Things!"

WIP Wednesday - February 1, 2012

Last Saturday I did a sewing test as the final step of my college application process. I hadn't sewn in a while (because I'm always knitting or spinning) and had forgotten how much I love to sew. So I finally started a project I've been meaning to make for a long time.

A while back I had purchased some fantastic Dr. Who fabric and had some vague ideas as to what to make with it. For now, I have decided on a bag and am pretty excited about it. Here is my progress so far:



I've still got a lot of this fabric left, so I'm already plotting what to make next with it!

Nerd Squee!!!!

It came! My awesome Dr. Who fabric came!!!! So excited to use it :D
