Toys

Hello everyone! 

So, over the past couple of weeks I've been doing quite a bit of knitting.  There have not only been new shawls slowly accumulating in my closet but a few little critters have come out of all this knitting too.

Here they are:

Ta da!

The penguin pattern I got from this lovely shop on Etsy!  If you're interested, please pay her a visit!

I've actually lost the address of the site that I got the Octopus from...as soon as I find it I'll post it for everyone.  This is actually my second octopus, I made another that I don't have pictures of right now.

Paddywacks: Wrap Yourself in Vibrance

I am not one to waste yarn, any of my family can tell you that.  I have a whole box under my bed devoted to the leftovers of past projects and little scraps of colorful strings that had to be trimmed off in order to get a clean final product.  Normally these scraps get recycled into my scarves around autumn and find themselves draped over the edges of our tent at fairs, blowing in the wind until someone takes them home.  But recently I noticed that there were a few balls laying around the box that I had consistently refused to use...perhaps because I enjoyed looking at them a little too much.  So, my mind immediately went to work and a week later this was finished:

 

The picture just doesn't quite do it justice.  But it turned out beautifully!  In fact, I was so happy with it, I made one to stick up in the shop.

I've also been working on some knit bags over the weekend that I should get pictures of in a week or so.

Anyways, the shawl will be in the shop soon!

What I Did Today - Splash of Color

So, after a few hours of homework I decided to gather up some scraps I had laying around and make them into something beautiful.

I'd say they turned out pretty nice.  :)

A New Friend

A few months ago we started watching a show called Soul Eater.  It's an anime and it's pretty strange but it's fun and interesting none the less.  Anyway, my favorite character is Crona:

He doesn't know how to deal with blogs...

He's pretty much the reason I watch the show now.  So...I decided to make a doll of him, just for the fun of it, and because you can't buy them anywhere because the show isn't quite that popular.  

He also doesn't know how to deal with being a doll...

So here he is!  I think he turned out pretty great, aside from the fact that he's my first doll and I accidentally made him so that his head won't stand up...but I love him all the same!

He even went golfing with us the day I finished him because he fits in my purse perfectly.

Thanks for looking!
