This was again for the Douglas Adams Swap. My partner wanted something to get organized. It looked really nice until I appliquéd the “42″ on the front pocket and added the bias tape. The bias tape was the worst thing I’ve had to do in a long time! It wouldn’t go nicely around the curves [...]

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged earring rack, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on August 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is another item I made for the Douglas Adams Swap on Craftster. My partner had in her wists an earring rack made out of a picture frame and window screen material. Pretty easy! Marvin was her favourite character (visually, she like the movie version, because he’s so cute!) and her favourite quote was: “Here [...]

I got into swapping on Craftster. Now I’m totally addicted! I spent most of my summer money on that! Uh oh… Anyways, this was for my first ever swap, the Douglas Adams Swap. I’m a huge fan of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I haven’t heard the radio episodes though, it is on my [...]

From my absolute favourite New Who episode: Doomsday. I cried for days after that one! I loved Rose so much! So when I saw this pattern, I absolutely had to make it! It was my first try at cables, my first try at thumbs (they are really ugly!) and my first gauge swatch knitting. Oh! [...]

So I wanted a warm hat for winter because I had lost mine (still can’t find it… It was one of those aviator style hats with the ear flaps, so warm! And the fuzzy inside matched the one in my coat!). When I saw this post on Craftster, I knew I hat to make [...]
Backlog project: Knitted Baby Blanket

This is a baby blanket I knitted for a friend (or for his baby daugther, actually!) in January and February. It was my first major project since I started knitting again. I knitted it quite loose and with large needles. That’s why there seems to be holes in it. It wasn’t intentional, I just [...]
The blog age

Woo! I got a blog! I feel so 21st century! So I’m going to use this to show off the stuff I handmake for myself and other people in my life. I’ve been crafting all my life, my mom being a crafter extraordinaire and my dad the DIY guy, only more seriously and more intensely [...]
