So, I finished the first 1/2 of the intarsia knitting on my Andre the Giant project.

The lovely backside of my work.

And yes, all of those ends have to be woven in. Ugh. I think that between weaving in ends and seaming, those two things would have an epic battle on the things that I hate the most about knitting. Actually, I think those are the only two things I hate about knitting. Everything else, well, we have a good relationship.

So there is his face. Kind of frightening, no? But considering this is what he is supposed to look like: (look down) I feel like I did a pretty good job.

I think it’s his eyes that creep me out the most.

I notice that some of the stitches look kind of loose, and others are pulling, that is just because of all of the loose ends hanging out the back. Once those are pulled tight and woven in, it will all be much smoother and nicer looking. Well, as nice as Andre the Giant can look, I guess.

Oh, and just in case you didn’t realize just hot HUGE this giants face is, here is my hand for some comparison.

I know, right? This scarf is going to be hooge. And now, wow. Now I get to do another 5 feet of straight stockinette stitch! WOO! My favorite thing ever!

Ok, so add one more thing to my knitting-hate list. 5 feet of stockinette stitch.

This is another order for a cabled Slouchy hat.

Sorry, you don’t get any pictures of me modeling it.

It’s too late at night to try to take pictures of myself…. maybe tomorrow.

Today Paul made us a delicious breakfast, then we ran errands all afternoon, I picked up some fabric for a very fun project (well, two projects) Paul wants me to make him an shirt like the one Jimmy Stewart wears in It’s A Wonderful Life, a highschool jersey.

So, who knows how it’ll turn out. I am not the best seamstress…. but I will be sure to post my progress on it.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Stay warm out there!

I whipped up another Ruffled Hat.

Modeled, of course, by my coffee canister.

I’m pretty fond of these little flowery, ruffled hats.

My latest project.

Trying my hand at intarsia knitting. Not as hard as I thought, but it is taking a lot of time. It’s going to be the most labor intensive scarf I’ll ever make, I bet. This is the chart I am working off of.

It’s that OBEY stuff you see around. I dunno. I only vaguely knew about it before I was commissioned to make this piece. I had to look it up on Wikipedia to get the back story on it. But the face is of Andre the Giant, and, well, we all know that I love The Princess Bride, so I was only too happy to oblige.

I finished my Grey Slouch.

It’s a custom order for a friend I used to work with back in Tacoma.

Uh, don’t mind the messy couch….

Also, be sure to check back as I’ll be posting a new page (Up at the top, where it says Pattern links and stuff like that for a Prices Page, and I’ll be posting all of my prices for my orders so you won’t have to email me if you just want to know a price!

Making another Slouchy Cabled Hat.

It’s such a fun hat to make. I love doing cables.
