The Finished Product!
Thursday, June 29, 2006  Well, here I am, modeling my Boobholder. I think it came out really well. It's been a long time since I knit a sweater that I actually want to wear. I should just give up knitting sweaters I have to sew together. It's much better to knit in the round or in one piece to see how the darn thing will fit. I want to make another one of these, maybe with  long sleeves and a different kind of collar. Maybe I can omit the seed stitch and crochet some lacy stitches around the border. The possibilities are endless! Next time, though, I'm going to decrease a bit on each side of the body so it will be tighter. I might try crocheting a sweater next. There is a sweater in SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous and Flirty Crochet that I like, but it's crocheted in pieces and then sewn together. I don't know if I'll have better luck crocheting flat pieces than knitting flat pieces. Oh well. Maybe I should make another amigurumi. It doesn't matter what size those are!

4 Comments: Looks awesome! Love the colour. Thanks! It's a really cute sweater. I want to make five more. I found you looking for other Seaberry makers...I really love the colour you picked. Pity the shell didn't work out, but the boobholder rocks! Thanks for wriiting

RIP Tuesday, June 27, 2006   Here is my Boobholder, thus far. It looks pretty good on, which is surprising, since most of the garments I knit look kind of stupid on me. I have to get cracking. I want it blocked and ready to go on the third. But first I have to rip the Seaberry Shell. It's going to be a pain in the ass, since I doubled the yarn. Now I have to rip and separate the yarn in order to harvest enough to make the Boob Holder's sleeves. When I find the right yarn, I'm going to make the Seaberry Shell again. I really like the chunky cable and bobbles. It's got fun proportions.

3 Comments: It's a pity about Seaberry Shell, but the boob holder is worth it. I love your cute little animals. Yes, it's a pity, but I will make another one again. This one never looked right and I know if I finished it I'd just stick it in a drawer and never wear it. At least the Boob Holder fits! The Seabury Shell is lovely - sorry you had to rip. The Twinkle yarn should be available shortly, I actually have a sample of Twinkle Cruise, it is a very fine silk cotton blend. Really nice, though I can't believe you only need two skeins of it for hte Shell - I think that maybe a typo.

Yummy Amigurummi  I've been working away at these little critters, I suppose because I have a fetish for cuteness. I got three Japanese amigurumi books off of eBay, none of which are in English. They do, however, have diagrams, so with a little fudging and a lot of scrutinizing I was able to whip up this chipmunk and my second chihuahua. I'm giving the chihuahua to my mom. She was so disappointed I didn't bring her granddogter to visit the last time I was out, I said I'd make her a little stuffed Lulu. Of course, it's not as cute as the real Lulu, but at least this one won't bite my step dad or pee on the rug. The chipmunk was real simple to make, since it had less parts than the chi. The one in the book looks a little better because he's meant to be holding a little felt nut in his hands, but I didn't have any brown felt, so I kind of just ignored that part. I've since come to the realization that the nut makes the chipmunk. Oh well. Enough with the pattern amigurumi--the last one I'm working on is my own pattern (not that I wrote it down or anything). It's an angry red cat. I wanted to make it a devil cat and I still might, if I figure out a good way to make some believable horns. I've crocheted most of the pieces (except for the tail), so it should be done soon, but I have a more pressing project to work on, one with an actual deadline. It's Glampyre's Minisweater, aka the Boob Holder, and the clock is ticking. I'm trying to finish it in time for my cousin's wedding on the third of July. The body is done and I just started on the right sleeve. I really like the pattern, though I've couldn't get the guage for Glampyre's version, so I've mostly been working off Cosmicpluto's adaptation, The Cavern Cardi. I haven't decided if I want to make it long sleeved or not. The good thing about working top-down in the round is that you can try it on every few rounds. I'm knitting it in cranberry red Plymouth Fantasy Naturale that I bought years ago when I first started to knit. I unravelled the back of an unfinished cardigan to make the Minisweater. I had used the rest of the yarn to make the Seaberry Shell from Interweave Knits Summer 2006 issue. Now I am going to have to rip the Seaberry to make the arms. I made the Seaberry Shell a few weeks ago, but the collar looked all wonky, so I never seamed the sides. I want to make another one, but I can't find the Twinkle yarn specified in the pattern. If I get a chance, I'll take pictures of both the Seaberry Shell and the Minisweater. posted at 12:09 AM . link . .

5 Comments: OMG the one of the kitty in pieces just had me on the floor! I might have to make one up so that all the extremities are hanging from yarns so that they're all floppy. Fantastic job! I soooo would have cheated and called my mom for a translation. You're lucky you have the option to call your mom! I would, if it would have done me any good, but unfortunately, my mom's Japanese is a little rusty. :^)
You must write up the pattern for that cat. It's awesome. I need one!

I am making the chihuaha right now. Can I please please ask you how you made the nose on your chihuaha? I would like to make mine the way yours is: I used some black yarn and did four rows of embroidery, just straight across.
My New Favorite Pattern Saturday, June 24, 2006  I'm not big on making the same thing twice. In fact, the only things I've made more than once were basics, like scarves and hats and the little bags I knit on my machine for Christmas presents...oh and Lulu sweaters. Okay, so I've made many things more than once, but the point I was unsuccessfully trying to make here was about my new favorite pattern: The Exchange Bag from Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker. I made one a few weeks ago and it's come in so handy on short walks with the dog that I made another. This time, though, I went a little color happy. I used dark brown and pink (a favorite color combination of mine) and came up with a flirty little bag for summer. I made the strap longer so I can comfortably wear it across my body. The brown and pink bag came out a little smaller than the previous bag -- I crocheted it tighter to compensate for the stretching the other bag encountered after a few uses. The new bag hasn't stretched out yet, but I'm sure it will. I screwed up the pattern a bit on the middle part of the bag, but only a crocheter who knew what the bag was supposed to look like would notice. I brought the bag out to my mom's house last weekend and she liked it so much I offered to make her one, as a belated Mother's Day present. You know it's a good pattern if I agree to make one for someone! I'm a notoriously selfish knitter (or crocheter, in this instance). I'm going to make it in basic black. Now I just have to haul my ass to P&S to get the crochet nylon.
