WIP Wednesday: August 8, 2012

I recently found out that an old friend and his wife have a teacup human on the way! You know that that means? I finally have someone to knit tiny little things for!

So, of course, I have started to knit a baby sweater. As I don't know the sex of the child, I tried to pick a "gender-neutral" yarn. Now that I've taken a picture of it, I'm not so sure how "gender-neutral" it is...

I think it may be just a bit too blue. There's white and purple in there too, but I think the turquoise/blue may overpower. We shall see once I get more of the body done. In the meantime, I think I have a few more skeins of yarn that would be considered "gender-neutral" that I can use to make even more tiny items.

AND I have found the perfect card for baby shower gifts! (I actually found it ages ago, but have been patiently waiting for the perfect time to use it)

You can buy this card on Etsy here

Happy Humpday Everybody!

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 :)

WIP Wednesday - March 28, 2012

Recently, I've been working on so many things that I haven't been in love with, so I'm really glad to be finally knitting this sweater. I don't know if it's the super bright and cheerful yarn, or the tininess of it, but it's just so happy making!

This lovely yarn is Twisty String by Younger Yarn. All her yarns are super soft and squishy, and I'm a super addict (I have a crazy amount of her stuff in my stash).

This wee sweater is just zooming along and I should be done in no time!

My New Addiction?

Crafty things I'm addicted to include knitting socks (full grown human and mini-sized), spinning, sewing anything, and now....baby sweaters?

Seriously, baby sweaters are so cute due to their tiny size and of course, fast to knit. I've only ever finished a full grown sweater in a week once, but the last 2 baby sweaters both took about a week each.

This week, I finished this one:

It's so cute!

I've also been working on my spinning, specifically core-spinning. This time around, it wasn't nearly as twisty as my last corespun yarn.



I still have 2 ounces left of this fibre to spin, so maybe the next attempt will be even better :)

WIP Wednesday - February 8, 2014

Seems that people all around me are growing or planning/wanting to grow some teacup humans in their bellies. This is good for me, and here's why: While I do not want to grow one of these for myself, I do love to knit tiny things.

This week's WIP Wednesday showcases my second ever baby sweater. The parents of the baby this is intended for are pretty punk rock, and do not as yet know the sex of the baby (it's playing coy and hiding its junk during scans). Assuming that said punk rock parents will have a punk rock baby, and wanting to remain gender-neutral, I opted for colours not typical to baby garments. Makes me think more of Hallowe'en actually, but I still think it's pretty cool.



Firebrunette, if you're reading this, look away! Nothing to see here...

WIP Wednesday - January 4, 2012

It's WIP Wednesday! This weeks edition showcases something I've never attempted before... a baby sweater. It feels to weird to be knitting something small enough to fit a teacup human!!



Right now, it's smaller than a sheet of paper O.o

I do love how fast it's working up, which is good as I need to have this done for this weekend to send along as a baby shower gift.
