yarnin' time!

it's autumn and autumn is yarnin' time!

i have a project mapped out, a deadline and yarns being shipped to me from knitpicks.  i even spent the evening working up a sample square. the piece is a baby shower gift, but, unfortunately, the shower is tomorrow afternoon. i hope to get it done before the baby arrives! 

i whipped a few fleece projects this summer. here is one of a pair of long fingerless gloves in dark orange. i built my own pattern by measuring my hand and arm.  they are wonderfully snug and toasty.






earlier, i tried my hand at quilting to design this minecraft-inspired pillow.  one side is a "creeper" and the other is a "slime".




i'll get a picture of that sample square up as soon as i can.  it's good to be back on the needles...or hook, in this case!

Quick Hobbit Costume


Yeah, yeah...authenticity is way low, but I was quite proud of being able to create the pieces just tracing his current clothing for sizes and shapes along with this online cape pattern Bits of fake fur for Hobbit feet attached with elastic bands and his dad loaned him an Elven-inscribed ring on a chain.

Total time to make: 5 hours
Total time worn: 30 minutes
