Mouse!

I love keeping up to date on the knitted toys of the interweb, and I think this might just be as fresh as it gets. This adorable mouse from the yarnigans

Enjoy.

MPMK SPRING!

Please take a moment to heed my all-caps header and look at MPMK's spring issue. Enjoy the lovely drawings as they model high fashion knits. Enjoy the socks made by yours truly. Make them. Wear them. And don't laugh at my picture, it was seriously the only decent one that wasn't of my feet.

Oh, and make sure you check out my ravelry page and, for those not in the ravelry world, my flickr feed for some exclusive dude action shots.

If you are one of those kind of people that... enjoy... sock action shots...

Studies Show, Danger Turns People On.

... You know what should be turning you on, internet? Rebecca Danger.

You may be asking so many questions right now. "Who's Rebecca Danger?" "Oh, yeah, that awesome Etsy shop... I thought you only did free things?"

Well, guess what internet, this is free. :)

At first I saw this as a ravelry pattern. I contemplated it, then rejected it as I do most ravelry patterns, in an attempt to not alienate those people who have yet to experience the joy of ravelry.

Then today when I was supposed to be doing homework, I thought, "Why not?"

Then I found out that it's not just on ravelry! You can find it on her blog, too :)
So, you know, now everyone can bring some danger into their lives. Make sure you keep on top of this one, perhaps she'll be sending out more swag as time goes by.


(*Number of times this post has included a pun on the word danger: 2. I could have been worse. Anyway, I love her enough to tease her.)

Yellow Center, Crunchy Shell... <3

Well, I'm not exactly big on the eggs. Yeah, they're good for you, and blah blah blah but for some reason, I can't eat them without gagging.

Luckily, I could knit these eggs from Curly Purly all night long, oh yeah!

Also, check out this tribute to eggs.

WHooo!

The new knitty is up, I'm always the last to post it, I know! Anyway, I've been crazy busy with school, it's unbelievable... but hopefully I can schedule in more knitting soon.

Anyway, they have included this awesome mobile! Check it out!

Of course, you can't forget the lovely, gorgeous socks and shawls and... *falls over content* It's all so beautiful.

PIE! Mmmm...

It's been ten weeks since I've had food that's not from the campus. This pie is taunting me, I want to eat it. It just looks so good! Wah!

Anyway, this is also a rogue link, as I found absolutely no way of contacting the designer on crumpart.net ... I can't een tell you who the designer is, other than she's female and lives in Australia, and may or may not be married. All this from snooping through her blog, etsy store, and encountering about 10 different dead links on her website. I tried! There are some names at the bottom of the pattern, but I can't really tell who took the photos and who wrote the pattern.

There's my rant. Make some pie.

XLORMP!

So I'm a little behind on my pattern posting, mostly because I'm a nice person and I ask permission from people before linking to them. Poster's etiquette, I guess. Anyway, sometimes certain notifications get sent to certain bulk folders in certain email accounts, and I get angry. I may change my ways soon and just send a courtesy link in the future, I don't really know though. Any thoughts out there?

Anyway, here's a real cutie. I think he's just crazy adorable, yes? Mmm, crazy adorable. Brought to you by The Most Popular Book in the World. Read it!

Happy almost midnight! I've been sick recently, so I've been sleeping and waking at strange hours. And throwing up. My favorite thing to throw up: Chocolate cake mixed with white tea crystal light. Try it some time.

Anemone Your Enenemy!

Okay, have you ever heard of Andrew Pants? DO IT NOW.


Another thing you have to do is check out this awesome creation. No lie. It is a real knit sea anemone from Beth Skwarecki, the lady who brought you Nautie, if you read Knitty.

And why I have an Andrew Pants song in my head :(

It ain't easy being green!

So, I'm totally crazy for this adorable frog! Isn't it cute? I just want to eat him up, he reminds me of a little jelly bean... s'aww! This is brought to you by the lovely Rachel at Knit Party.

When will this madness end!?

Yeah, so, even though everyone I know is starting up the new semester, RIT is mid-quarter, and I've got the midterm blues. Bah humbug!

Anyway, check out this crazy stuff. It makes me wish I was in Texas, because that would be an awesome exhibit to see....

Yeah, I'm even too lazy to hide the link in the text. That's how swamped I am.

Merry Christmas!

I hope you are all having a great Christmas! My arm hurts, and I'm sleepy from all that food, but I feel great! Are you all having a good day? Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, you should still be having a good day, okay?

Here are my two most recent sewn things. I'm just crankin' them out, it's exciting :)


I haven't named either of them, either! Options are open :)

I kind of like this one more, I know that's bad of me.


Once the boyfriend leaves tomorrow, I might make more!

HoHoHo

Everyone loves Santa, right? This Santa from Lace, Crochet, and More is too adorable! It's cute and tiny and... I just want one on a keychain to take with me everywhere. Really! I do!

Blast off!

Isn't this little rocket the most adorable gift ever? I wonder if I can find some knit aliens... or knit space men... or... a knit moon. The possibilities are endless!

Brought to you by Thomas, from the Adventures of Thomas... that's all I know, because Vox is a pita and I didn't feel like hunting him down to ask for permission. I'm so on the naughty list.

Get in the Christmas Spirit!

Kimberly Chapman never ceases to amaze me, really, truly! These cute Christmas lights will put you in the holiday spirit, for sure. Maybe I'll make a bunch and hang them up on an i-cord, and put them up in my room, since you know, Christmas lights aren't allowed in my dorm... What a bunch of scrooges!

Don't call it... A COMEBACK!

I'm back at my college of choice, which means, back from vacation, which means, I CAN KNIT AGAIN!

To celebrate, here's a link to the long-overdue Scorpion. I mean, LONG overdue! I'm so sorry!

But, don't worry, it's not hard and poisonous! It's cute and knit up by Rustleaire, creator of all things cool.

Let me tell you... I can only knit small projects until after Christmas, so this is on the list :) I love it so much, no joke! And I have just the yarn for it, too...

MONSTTTUURRRS~

So, here's a late Halloween present. To you. Through me. From the wildly creative things and ideas, a cute lil' blog.

I still can't knit! It's so hard looking for patterns, because it makes me so depressed, but I'll do it for you, internet. You deserve things like this.

Creepy things... like this...

Fish Fish Fish!

So how adorable are these guys!? Brought to you by wonderful Susan Dennis... who has a website named after her. I want a website named after me! Anyway, these fish are no-sew, with google eyes, and grafted fins so that, if put into a knitted sea, they would swim.

You know, I had goldfish once. My little brother and I each one a goldfish at a local festival and they lived happily together in a nice plastic tank. Little did when know, the plastic was leeching into the water... and eventually my brother's fish ate mine. That seemed to be a precursor on how the rest of our lives together have formed out so far, haha!

Anyway, back on topic... so cute! Knit one, then comment with a blog/ravelry link.

Spider!

So, it's been a wee bit difficult for me to find patterns, partly on the part of a general slow in the knitted toys world, partly because I'm having a hard time with people getting back to me, but here's a treat for the blogo-world. This spider is a limited-time-only free, so knit it up while you can, because after Halloween Dearest Dawn will be selling it! So, if don't want to buy it, knit it up now... if not, you can get it off Ravelry and Etsy this November :)

I'd personally like to knit this and leave it near a certain arachnaphobic's window... mwahahaha!

Beware the Moth!

So, I figured out how to save pictures to the desktop on my mac! Whooo! That's up there on my list of accomplishments today, which include (but are not limited to):
Finding my classroom
Learning how to sign "bacon"
Trying couscous


. . . I'm a sad person- well, here's something that isn't sad! A pattern! This cute member of the insect family is hated by many knitters, but loved by the few that truly take the time to get to know him. His name is Ron, he was created by the ingenious Presents, and his cedar smelling self will scare the bad moths away, so make one! Do it! He's adorable!

(Also note the amalgamation of other free patterns on Presents's* Blog, and her hat patterns in her shop, because they. are. amazing!)

*This is a questionable use of the apostrophe. Please don't hate my bad grammar.

Anyway, I hope you're all well, Internet, and I'm going to try to have some nice pattern pictures by tomorrow :)

Stinky Cheese, Hooray!

So, what's cooler than the ginger bread man? The fairly stupid tales, of course! Once you graduate from fairy tales, the only place to go is satire, really.

Anyway, lovely Bethany created the most awesome stinky cheese man! Check him ooouuuttt! No, really, props for creative subject matter. The guy has olives for eyes! Was that in the book? I better put my Calculus work down for a while and go check...

(Edit: I wish I could show you guys a picture, but for some reason I can't. Damn Mac computer... and my inexperience therewith...)

Mm... slimy.

So, I'm in college, separated from my yarn, needles, and library of knitting books. BUT, fear not, for I still have 6 balls and some gumption, and this is one of the patterns I want to churn up in the next few months.Isn't he so adorable!? I have a small obsession with snails, and this pattern has the realistic cuteness of a snail, but without those slime trails. Admit it, everyone would be down with mollusks if it weren't for the slime. Or the open circulatory system.

And, it even comes with the option to turn it into a slug and a seashell- detachable shell! It's like making three dolls in one! Make sure to thank K2SC1 for this delightful knit.

What!? Who!?

I'm like, hopping up and down with happiness, because out there back on the internet now are... DR. WHO Patterns! How awesome!

I was snooping about on ravelry, and I swear I might've wet myself, if it wasn't 8 AM.

Anyway, there's a knitted Dalek, which I'm afraid of (the Dalek, not the pattern), and a Stuffed Tardis brought to you by this person, (and, of course, this person!) There's also the dearest, cutest Adipose that BBC forced Mazzmatazz to take down. It's been saved in the annals of death by copyright.

Although the issue hasn't been solved and the BBC still kind of sucks, at least there's knitting to be done. How can something that thought up something so adorable be so, so evil? Hopefully more patterns will return, or maybe I'm just a month behind the news and they have, somewhere.
