Semi-Legit

So, I'm trying to update more. Here is another 8-legged friend that I made to sell.It's a shame that this one is so cute. I really want to keep it.
aw. So, I'm going to be a studio art major at my school, and in order to prove myself, I have to put up a bunch of my work in a gallery. I decided to include some knitting because it's what I generally do in my free time. (sad.) I want to do a BIG piece, so I went out to get lots of cheap yarn. Do you know what four pounds of yarn looks like?


Now I do. Wow. So, here's a little doodle of what I'd like to make with all this yarn.The person should be adult-sized, I want this thing to be huge. and comfy. When I eventually move into some sort of house next semester or whatever, I want to have this guy as a piece of furniture. Functional art! excellenttttttttt. So I'll be busy with that for the next month, I think I'm going to use some crazy circular needle techniques, so I'll update with pictures of the process. Exciting!

Whoopsie Poopsie

So... I guess I haven't updated this in a while. I really haven't been that productive, but I do have some new things to show off. I'll start with the lamer things and move on to the really cool things.
I'll just jump right into it. One of these days I'll make the effort and get some profesh pictures.

#1. I decorated my geekstick!!!!!! AWESOME !!
#2. I made a cardboard heart loaf. Slice off hearts as you need them.
#3. Super cool lanyard. I intended for it to be used as a keychain, but I think it's kind of big. Whatever, I still like it. Twisty, 4 colors, and built-in keyring. solid.

Onward to the piece d'resistance.
yeeeeah baby I finally used more of that beautiful hand spun/dyed yarn from New Hampshire. I didn't have a lot so I made a nice cabled scarf to help me through the rest of the winter.

Cable close-ups. The color in real life is somewhere between the first and second shots. I hate having to use photobooth. Oh well, c'est la vie, n'est pas? I hope I stay productive... school is suspiciously easy right now. I should just take advantage of that while i can.
k bye
