I may be a little bit retarded. So, not really remembering that I had messed with my spam filter settings recently I was kinda wondering why my comments had seemed to drop off. Now I tend to feel most times when I'm talking that I sound incredibly stupid and yet I seem to keep going on and on despite the chanting of 'Shut up Shut up' in my head. When it translates to writing, the first thing I think is I wrote something stupid, and it totally came off wrong. Then on a little blog housekeeping spell I decided to check my junk folder... yeah- tons of super awesome comments! Thanks everyone and sorry for not replying! I feel like a dolt.
On to making stuff...
As you can see above I did some more super easy crafting - record bowls! I <3 how these came out! And so freaking simple, I did them while putting away the dishes people- talk about fool proof. There are lots of tutorials out there for these, I basically used this one from Roxycraft.
Lounging on one of the bowls is one complete Knucks glove for Mr.Pieknits. Gotta keep those gaming fingers warm, I keep suggesting different gamer tags for the embroidery and he keeps insisting he isn't that dorky. I'm working these in the always lovely Elsepeth Lavold Silky Wool. I had a heck of a time finding a yarn in this gauge locally that wasn't a disgustingly pastel baby color, let alone something for a guy. Then I spotted the Silky Wool, love this blue.
Ooh! Those record bowls are so cool. I've been thinking about making some. Great knuck(s) too!
I love that record bowl! Super cute.
the record bowls are great! what a neat idea!
Love the bowls! I made a few of these for christmas presents a couple of years ago with some old records I'd gotten on eBay and they turned out great.
Those bowls are awesome! I'm so making some this weekend.
Ooh, that blue is wonderful and a great guy color! I lovelovelove the record bowls.
My friend's mom made record bowls and had them on the coffee table filled with wrapped hard candies. That was back in the late 70's! I always thought it was so crafty of her. Too cute!
SWEET! The record bowl is really neat looking. And the knucks are gorgeous in that blue. Lucky guy. =)
Hmmm, the "shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" feeling. I'm quite familiar with that!
I wanted to know if it is possible to adapt Topi as a felted pattern. I'm about ready to have an intervention for my mom and her felted hats. She's hooked. She's looking for something like Topi, but felted. Any idears?
Angel of Death (my DH, if I didn't share the joke before) and I got my folks cable internet for Xmas and I sent my mom tons of links. She loves Pieknits, and I hope she noticed the pattern for the cloche ...
My email keeps writing your replies as spam, so please forgive me if I'm not prompt when you write.
OOoo....I have been looking for a project for Silky Wool. How much did you use and on what needle?
