Blue Bra of DOOM!

Forgive me, it's 7:51am and I haven't been to bed yet. Been working on this damn hat. And of course someone said it looks like a bra, and now I can't unsee that. Thanks.

See the bra? Yeah me too.

Hope that it comes together alright, but for now, I'm going to bed. Laters.

There's More?

What is goin' on with me? I've got something else to add to the pot. I'm making a Mega Man Helmet for a friend of mine. Ok, maybe I should say TRYING to make a Mega Man Helmet for a friend of mine.

 (Mega Man Helmet)

Looks funny no?

That one's actually blue, not purple showing up as blue. But hey! I've got progress on the sock numba 2

 

Almost ready to turn the heel. Yay!

Aaaaaand the Kaleidoscope Beret is done blocking and I finally got a pic that has the correct color, or as close to it as I'm gonna get

 Gonna look cool with her dark hair showing through

Flat on top

The purple hat is for a friend for Christmas, as is the Mega Man Helmet. I'm also gonna try to make one of those amigurumi things. I sense this ending badly, but, the things you do for friends.

The Yarn Goes Ever On and On

So, for a while now (I dunno how long) I've been collecting yarn ends. I wait 'till I have a bunch and then tie them together and snip off the little bits to make the knots not stand out so much. In a tied up pile it looks something like this...

I also add yarn I'm mad at, hence all the pale blue

Then I wind it into a ball, although with the help of my new yarn winder of awesomeness it goes a lot faster and ends up looking like this...

The pale blue almost looks white here. It's the doubled one.

Then I add it to my slowly growing Yarn Ends Blanket. (the tiny yarn bits that are too small for tying together I add to a bag to use for stuffing, if I ever make anything that needs to be stuffed)

 

(Yarn Ends Blanket)

The ultraviolet looking blue is amethyst purple from Red Heart, my camera won't pick it up. For further proof of this I give you this hat I just made...

 

(Kaleidoscope Beret)

It's flat on top so I've got it blocking over a plate. It's actually a medium purple, like a mauve or something, but it looks the same as the amethyst, which is a dark rich purple. I dunno, the new phone I'm borrowing from a friend takes awesome pics (much better than my old ones) but it hates purple.

Oh! I forgot to show you the finished garter scarf.

The purple ALMOST shows up right in this one.

When I drape it across my neck it almost reaches to the floor on both sides, so it's almost as tall as I am x2. I might measure it one day, but for now let's just say around ten feet or so. Alright, besides still working on the black socks, I think that's about it for me right now. Laters.

Black Sock Down

Look look look

dripping wet over my drain rack

That's the first, and now I've gotta make another one. *le sigh* Wish me luck.

More WIPS For Those Chains

Got a coupla new things I've been working on.

(Knitted Basket Weave Afghan)

Supposedly this is gonna be a blanket. I don't have the right size of needle or a circular so I'm having to jam all the stitches onto this one. So many stitches!!!

(Pine Forest Baby Blanket)

Screwed up somewhere on this line and lost a stitch somewhere. I keep trying to do this with music or people around me cuz it's such an easy pattern. I need to get it through my head that I'm a noob and can't do that and keep my knitting right.

(Easy Cuff-Down Worsted Weight Socks)

Just turned the heel on my first one. I broke one of my size 8 double pointed needles and I've been wanting to try and make another pair of socks. Can't do that with a broken DPN. But, I found out that you can make socks using worsted weight (the only kind I have cuz I is broke) and size 3 DPNS (which are the only size my walmart down here carries) Here's hoping they turn out ok. I'm liking this sock making thing.
