The Knitted Corset... Oh Myyy

I've been to a couple of Rocky Horror shows before but I've never dressed up for one before; so I said, "Hey, why not?"  I decided to go as Janet, post zapping.  So in a night I needed to find fishnets, a corset, face paint, and a feather boa.  Basically I had to look like this:

...but decent.  So I started knitting a corset based on this pattern.  Luckily one of my friends lent me a black corset for the show since my own masterpiece was a little long in the making a too small in other areas.  The pattern itself is a little confusing and I wouldn't recommend it.  I ended up knitting practically the entire thing before realizing that a couple of lines early on in the pattern were actually referencing the very end of the directions.  Very strange.  Anyway my own corset is almost complete, despite my misread directions and probably the incorrect type of stitching.  More to come soon!

Catan Accomplished!

After years of working and ignoring this little project I dub it Done!  This is the Settlers of Catan Afghan I made for my brother.  It fits a single bed or, as what it's currently being used as, a couch throw. It is all single crocheted, yes that means it is VERY warm, out of Caron One Pound Yarns.  Caron yarn may be my favorite because you get a whole pound and you never have to worry about dye lots--plus its so soft!!

And the One Instance of detailing that I realized I was just too ambitious to continue:

Next part of this project is to whip up some felt roads, settlements, cities, ships, knights, robbers, and more so that it can be a self contained wonderful board game!

Poké, Poké, PACMAN

Pac-Man Time!  So cute gobbling up ghosts and pellets, all hand crocheted with my original patterns.

Setsu Con Fall Out :)

Setsu Con January 2012 was amazing!  I picked up a bazillion dollars (and then I'll blow it all traveling around during the spring and going to the Doctor Who convention in LA: Gallifrey One!!)

Anyhow I've created an array of 3in tall pokémon that will fit perfectly into my openable pokéballs and here is the documentation!  Only 2 of the little critters didn't sell: the Totodile and the Jigglypuff.
