Tutorial: Picking up Stitches for Limbs

Hey! This is super useful: a video that explains how to pick up stitches in the middle of your work!

This is great for doll limbs :) 

There's also some written directions and pictures here (Scroll down).

All of this lovely information is from Knitting in Circles, which sells some cute patterns :)

How A-DORK-able!

This cutie is named "Adorkable Monster" and it really, truly is.  Created by Pockets and Parking Garages.

If you've noticed that I haven't updated a lot, make sure that you check out my new blog, Alyoops! That's where all of my WIPs, photography, Lotus pics, and new designs will be from now on.

I'm actually probably going to move the amigurumi update in the future, or end it all together.  I'd like your opinion (if you have one ;P)

Shark In the Water

This knit shark by Faye Sweeney is super cute :)  The website takes time to load, which sucks, but keep at it! It's worth the long loading time.

Petite Purls has gone live with their Fall 2010 issue, and you should probably note this gem, a pillow/soft toy titled "Blast Off!"  I absolutely love it!

Y'all might also be interested in the other whimsical pattern in this issue, Birdie Backpack :)

NINJA!!

This is perfect. Maybe someone should inform the tunnel ninja... hmm.

Good, Geeky Fun.

This cutie is Wilfrid, the Geek! From Knit Run, Purl Run.

I especially like his ears :)

Things are especially hectic around here this week... Don't. Even. Ask!
