I Have Sock Fever

Yes, Sock Fever's a thing.
Well, if it isn't, it should be
I have been knitting like crazy! However, since it's in fingering weight yarn, it's not super impressive. LOL.
The first pair of socks was made for one of my older sisters...

...As was the second pair of socks... Although, I just finished the first sock of the pair today! I'm apparently incapable of knitting just stockinette.

One project I am considering starting (it's probably a bad idea, since school is starting soon, but whatever) is this blank afghan. What is it for, you ask? PURE ENJOYMENT! And also embroidery.

Lots and lots and LOTS of embroidery.

Will it have a Nyan cat at the bottom by the time I'm finished? Probably.

No, wait... It will DEFINITELY have a Nyan cat. And maybe a sloth (for you, Zachary!).

If you would like to make the sock patterns shown above, you can buy them at: Sugarcreek pattern by Jessica K. Larson, and Cables Party pattern by Trelly Hernández.

Wibbly-Wobbly-Timey-Wimey

Wow, I can't believe it's been a month since my last post! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO TIME?!?

Uh, anyway, I have a couple of finished projects. But, I can only show you one of them, because the second one is a Christmas present, and I'm not entirely certain if the intended recipient reads this blog or not.

As you can probably tell from my Ravelry page, I've been working on a hexipuff blanket for a while now...But, due to the sheer amount of time that it would take to make (over three years, if my math is correct) and a little bit of laziness, I decided that I really didn't want to complete it.

But what about the finished puffs? Do I just throw all of them away? LIKE HECK!!!

So, I took some of them, and I made them into a cushion for my sewing chair.

It's WAAAAAAY more comfortable than the slightly tattered pillow that I had been using up 'til now!

As you can see in the photo above, there is a sewing project in progress! It's my sister's, but it's still awesome! Maybe in a couple of weeks, I'll be able to convince her to post the finished project on Yarn Yetis. ;)

In closing, I would just like to show you this random cat photo I found on my iPod.

Katherine is out! PEACE!

The Yarn Yetis' Yeti

It's been a bit longer than I expected, but I've finally finished writing up the Yarn Yetis' Yeti pattern!
Gosh, that's fun to say. Yarn Yetis' Yeti.
Anyway, I have already posted the pattern to Ravelry ! Now, if you want, you can make it yourself for free!

P.S. If you have any photos, even pictures of it in progress, I would LOVE to see them!

I'm Bringing Bootie Back

I'm not sure if any of you even knew, but a few weeks ago, I finished a pair of baby booties. Somehow, I managed to completely forget about them until today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.  BUT AREN'T THEY ADORABLE?!?

But everything else I finished this week! Including this baby bunny hat!I actually changed this pattern quite a bit, because I didn't check my gauge (a cautionary tale to all of you beginner crafters!). So, it isn't quite the same as in the pattern, but it's pretty close!

Then, last week, I think, I ripped out all of the blue variegated yarn that I had used and turned it into a dog sweater (I didn't really like it as part of the blanket). After that, I used an entire skein of Red Heart SuperSaver in purple and bound it off. 

Also, before I even started this blanket, I decided that I was going to make it in all of the colors of the rainbow (ROY G BIV), because I'm a little bit OCD like that. :P

Then, there is another cute headband.

I also whipped up this earflap hat in a day!

Plus, this adorable little shark hat (I almost typed Shrek the first time. Nope, Nope, Nope! I'm not opening that door! lol)!

1-2-3- Who Wants To Model Near A Tree?

Oh, man. I have been working on a ridiculous amount of items! I also may or may not have forgotten to add one of them to Yarn Yetis. Hmm...
Though I may be mildly forgetful when it comes to posting about what I create, I- Yeah, that's it.

First up is a crocheted headband! This was SO easy to make, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Then, here are some cotton potholders that I improvised. You can find a similar pattern here.

Then, I knitted some gloves from the newest issue of Knitscene. I changed them a little bit by adding an inch to the length.

Next, I crocheted this hat, which I absolutely love! I managed to get my sister Emily to be my model with a lot of threatening/ bribery (just kidding, she likes trying on all of my projects! :P).

It took me finishing yet another hat for me to realize that all of these projects were in the same color scheme. Oops. ;)

While "on set", Emily had great fun reenacting The Lion King with my yeti. Which brings us to my next finished object:

The Yarn Yetis Yeti! I finally finished designing him and his cute little sweater!

Keep watching Ravelry, because I may post the pattern for him in a few days!

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING?

I'll tell you what it is.

It's 42.

But besides that, it is crafting. Lots, and lots, and lots, and lots of crafting. I mean, if I had worked out as much as I crafted the past two weeks, I would be ridiculously fit! *laughs* *cries*

I'm going to do this post a little bit differently than any of my previous ones. Since I have SO MANY finished projects, I'm not going to link them at the bottom of the page, I'm just going to link them with their photo.

But, enough about my blog. It's time to talk about my finished projects now!

This little dog sweater was so fast to finish! The pattern stated that it took six hours to make, but I made the medium, and I probably finished it in four, maybe five, constant hours of work! By the way, I hope y'all appreciate this picture, because Corky DID NOT want to have his picture taken. He wanted a belly rub. LOL.

This gender neutral scarf was crocheted in a chevron pattern using Yarn Bee Effervesce! It's so soft!

This headband was knitted, while the flower was crocheted. By the way, I just realized that I don't know what pattern I used for any of these headbands or the flowers. Hmm... I found most of them on Ravelry, I think...

This headband and flower were crocheted using Red Heart Super Saver.

As was this headband! (Guess who's almost got no acrylic yarn! Uh, huh, this girl right here!)

This headband was knitted using I Love This Yarn! and it's oh so squishy!

This hat was made using a *gasp* popular pattern on Ravelry. I know. I sicken myself sometimes. ;P

This scarf was originally an infinity scarf, but I made it into an actual scarf, so that I could use up both of the skeins that I bought! It was made using Yarn Bee Tender Touch.

And, last but not least, I finished this LOVELY mesh scarf! I made it using Yarn Bee Princess (sadly, now discontinued). Don't the little chickens really just enhance this photo? ;P

Fluffy Fabulousness

     GUESS WHAT?!


            ...


     Have you finished guessing yet?

     Okay, good.
     I finished a blanket!

     IT'S SO FLUFFY!!! Seriously, this thing is about as soft as a baby unicorn. To you underprivileged few who haven't ever felt a baby unicorn, it's a lot like a bunny.
     You know, this blanket only took me about three weeks to complete, which is probably a world record somewhere. I'm glad I chose to make a simple pattern with the fluffy yarn, because if I'd done cables, there is no way that they would've shown up clearly!
     I used a (sadly) now discontinued Hobby Lobby yarn called "Riot Eyelash", and I think that it completely "makes" the blanket.
